- We are used to chinese watches being cheap. This watch company is here to change that. Behrens focuses on telling time differently. Today we're looking at the Perigee model, which is currently the most complicated model they produced so far. Featuring an fully in-house developed and manufactured movement.

Behrens have been making some very interesting pieces. Glad to see them being recognized.
People once said the same things about Japanese watch making and German automobiles, well, how about now.
Amen
However China is not Japan and can never be. One can not get the same thing by short cut mass production.
Agreed!
Idiot there is a difference
German cars aren't that great. A lot of engineering but constantly breaking down.
wow what a watch, definitely a great offering. I think the competition is getting stronger and stronger from Chinese based companies. Thanks Marko 👍🏽
Better option than too expensive USD 1 mil per piece Jacob & Co Astronomia
@@RIZFERD Many of those watches are over price. Mainly much of the costly price pay for the name.
@@RIZFERD I got Jacob and co Like Chinese watch In Nepal.
Its exactly same like Astronomia With Ruby sun and colourful Planets,and best thing is it also moves in circle not like the Original but still you can fool anyone and flex it .
It cost me 65 USD after tons and tons of bargaining and flirting with the seller girl .
Its made of metal and is pretty heavy.Planets are not thay shiny or bright but overall its ok.
@@Blitzkers99crazy
Superb engineering, that is visually astonishing and meaningful!
I would wear one, on special occasions, and also just for me to watch the earth and moon moving slowly and to connect to passage of time.
Which brand is getting better and better that is not in Switzerland? Check out Behrens: bit.ly/3FXJagr
Grand Seiko and Citizen
Chinese watch manufactorers and some french brands
Not this one that’s for sure!! Stop spooking complete garbage, you’re loosing credibility!!
Nomos
@@carlosalvarez4641 I'll 2nd that.
''if you own multiple watches already and want to wear something not too many people own , then this watch is for you'' - i was totally with you on that until i figured out the price .
hahaha..i google the watch earlier on the video...way out of my league
I dont find the watch😂
Awesome video as always dude! If the Swiss watch industry don't up their game and more Chinese watchmakers start producing an array of affordable watches of this quality at competitive prices, then it could be another 1970s moment in the making, subject to the pending global recession of course, though bizarrely the 1970s recession started in 1973. Is this history repeating?!
The Chinese are about to prove to the world how full of shit the Swiss are for charging what they charge for watches. The Chinese will give you similar quality for 1/10 the price….
@@tayloremriectxthe Swiss are not full of shit, and I’m sure the Chinese don’t see it that way either. Something is only worth what people are prepared to pay for it. It’s not there fault that i can’t afford most of their high end pieces. What that little country created didn’t happen overnight it took centuries of engineering innovation and creative industry, with a list of patents that makes an encyclopaedia look like a short bedtime story. They made the global watch industry what it is today and survived a crisis 50 years ago that should’ve destroyed them yet they came out of it stronger. Even sweatshop fake and homage watch businesses across the world owe their existence to the legendary reputation and legacy of Swiss watch making.
Just checked the link --this one is not for me but they have other nice options in their site, although prices are high for a relatively unknown Chinese brand.
Congrats on hitting 100k subs!
Nice to see Behrens getting some coverage, have been keeping an eye on them for a few years now. I think what they create is something the industry is really lacking which is interesting pieces such as wandering/jump hours and constellation complications at a decent price point. A breath of fresh air in a world of stuffy gatekeepers. I dig their Project One and Navigraph models.
Enough with the the dress/military/dive/tribute models please.
The look of the mechanism is intriguing. The details are quite refined and even spectacular, but the whole thing is spoiled by the bubble glass, which gives a toyish effect to the whole. The flat backhand is much more serious. It looks more like a $13.50 watch than a $13,500 one.
if this looks like toy to you then what you call Richard mille a.k.a plastic junk
This is so cool, love the design and purple gems, very diff from the typical rubies we see. And the gold tourbillon is gorgeous. Really love this, thanks for the share. I hadn't heard of this brand before, but 13k is a really great price for this kind of intricacy
I had absolutely zero interest in watches a month ago. I couldn't tell the difference between a nice Timex and one of these $50,000 watches. I've been watching videos and enjoying what I've been learning and gaining a tremendous amount of respect for in particular manual timepieces. I was becoming a fan. Over the last few days I have had a number of clone watch videos pop up in my feed. I was starting to really respect the clone watches and even watches in the 200 $300 watch category.. I will say that this video right here today has changed my mind entirely about watches. The fact that this watch cost $14,000 is insane to me. It seems to me that the value of these high dollar watches is truly just subjective because even unlike a painting these watches all tell time. Yes some of the parts are a little less expensive and maybe not as absolutely precise but good enough and they look wonderful and a lot of times still goes into them. I was already starting to doubt the value of these watches but this video right here really just put the kibosh on what I thought was going to become a little bit of a hobby. There are plenty of nice watches in the $200 range. This has become a hobby that only the super rich should be part of because it's essentially just a game. Looks like most folks are buying watches that aren't even the value that they think anyway. I'm done and thanks for opening my eyes. It's a nice interesting watch but nope.
Wait till you see some Rolex watches, brand new at 70K, always lacking in stock and offered in resale market for 200K. Talking about not getting value for money.
Yeah i had a similar conclusion, luxury watches are generally VERY overpriced. It's actually crazy how many people are willing to spend this much, even when they're not even rich, rather they save up for it. Seems like robbery to me. My car cost less than this watch, albeit in 2012 but whatever. I think the sweet spot is around 500$-1k, most stuff above that price point and you're not paying for quality as much as you're paying for brand name and exclusivity... That being said the watch i wear the most is a sub 200 dollar watch that i love. :)
Another great video guys, this is a cool looking piece!
Get ready! They are coming!
Very attractive watch, very complicated, and may take a bit of time to get use to. Thank you for this review!
Very cool watch but I prefer watches with hands. I do buy G-Shocks and thinking of getting the Garmin. I like JLC the most. Thanks for the video.
Pretty funky watch there. I think I'd be afraid to wear it given that I've been known to bump my watch against the table/ desk or door. That crystal might break if it were on my wrist.
Very interesting watch thanks for covering it
If China could build a space station, then we should not be sceptical about thier abilities. It's a matter of time they will brand themselves above the rest in watch industry. Don't panic though when the time comes. 😅
Only one space station right now and that's China with the only other Mars rover currently with the U.S. patrolling on Mars. Huawei, EV cars, space exploration and military is crushing competition.
I love the idea of it, I like the creativeness, I wore never wear Dome crystal watch. But yeah it's a cool piece of engineering
I won't wear a watch like this but if I have the spare cash, I will collect them for their engineering.
When will they be arriving at Family Dollar store?
Looks awesome, cannot imagine the service cost and logistics.
I’m a watchaholic and love viewing watches from all over the world. Keep it up!!!
How do you find a watchmaker to service this?
I love the innovation! But looking at the close-up photos, the finishing is not up to the level I would expect from this price point. There are visible burrs on some of the parts, paint/coating is wearing of others and the graining/brushing is very coarse.
This certainly has potential, but they really need to step up their finishing.
thats the prototype
@@lukas_nebulahunter Not putting the best foot forward then, you get one chance to make a first impression.
I checked the price... not cheap, I cannot afford this haha. thank you for this video, I can appreciate its interesting design without owning one.
What model of watch is this?
Problem is where you going to service them if you don't live in Shenzen/Guangzhou?
Seriously? If a proper watchmaker can touch it, you send it to the brand. You pay the shipping, they service it and pay for the return. 50/50 split shipping costs. This is normal practice. Rolex, Grand Seiko, Patek or Behrens... doesn't matter.
Definitely a nice watch, but also for +13K€ the finish is lacking... The edges are sharp without bevels, but probably at the expense of the price.
What's the competition of making complications exquisite yeah if you want to keep up in the market you're going to have to sit there make something pretty cool. I'm actually surprised they didn't steal or copy a design
Beautiful looking watch.
sapphire dome? at that price point, I would be hugely impressed if it was.
Holy that’s pretty expensive. I think I’ll just stick with my goal of the speedmaster
The movement looks pretty cool
Awesome Behrens Perigee astronomical watch at a good price.
Why are people dubious about Chinese watches , what is people are watch racist? I don't care where a watch is from as long as the cost suits me and design I like then I'm buying the watch whatever,,this watch snobbery is a smaller version of class downgrading, laughing at the lower classes ect ect is a shame but it goes on daily in the watch world on TH-cam, .thanks for your review it's always fair and interesting,.
its legacy from 1700s swiss....obviously in 2023 watch tech is easy to accomplish
People aren't watch racist. Its just that usually Chinese products doesn't have the good reputation when it comes to quality or reliability.
Anti China gets me laid
Well , if you want to buy things that stink and break go ahead and buy chinese .
Name a Chinese Brand either watch, Car or anything for that matter! Can you name a German car brand? Swiss watch brand? US fighter jets? Did that ring the bell ? If You can answer this, then you have the answer already !
cool watch, love the planet and the moon 🌝
Well done China, nice watch
I wonder what brand of watch the taikonauts use on the CSS.
For 14,000 usd there are far far better watches available. Want complexity and amazing movements? Zenith rattrapante or any other chrono. Want finishing or innovative movements? Any number of grand seikos. Want something off the beaten path? Christopher ward, nomos, glasshute. Want unbelievable dials? Anordain or high end seikos. For 14k I expect more complication and refinement. This is jlc ultra thin perpetual calendar money. This is entry level Arnold and sons money. Also... In my opinion no haute horology watch should have less than 48 hours of power reserve.
Totally agree, and if on top of that ypu add the connotation “made in China”, suddenly paying that amount of money becomes a hard to sell exercise. I gat this is a bit of paid promotion, just that is important to tell it to your viewers….
@@carlosalvarez4641 also the ethics associated with labour rights in China and ultimately most so called private enterprises are owned by the CCP. Though near impossible I avoid buying anything made in China.
And many parts are made in China 😂
Stupid. So according to you china should not exist. Your world is very small.
@@fdloop Nobody is saying that, so please read carefully. We all are saying that from a marketing perspective people do not associate chinese manufacturing with luxurious, expensive products. Not stupid, just a fact.
Thanks for the review. Excellent.
This small brand called A. Lange & sohne seems to be doing alright.
ALS is fully owned by Richemont.
I don't see that model on the Behrens website
Purnell Escape 2 treasure baguette rainbow. Might be a cool brand to have on.
How much and where I go buy ?
For $20k I’ll buy a nice pre-owned Royal Oak or Brand new Santos. It’s a neat watch though.
Absolutely love it!!!
I guess I will wait a little for an European copy of this pretty Chinese watch, at a fraction of this price.
Shifting powers in the world, no!?
😆😆
do they have a "flat eart" version?
I've been eyeing their mars watch for a long time but couldn't pull the trigger for the price ... Very interesting !
Yes I will wear one although they do have a reputation of copying every thing this is an original.
Such a beautiful piece of engineering. A real work of art
DEAR MARCO,
GOD BLESS YOU MY FRIEND. I AM VERY PROUD OF YOU AND VERY HAPPY FOR YOU. I HOPE ALL OF YOUR DREAMS COME TRUE. I HOPE YOU HAD THE BEST AND HAPPIEST CHRISTMAS OF YOUR ENTIRE LIFE AND THE BEST AND HAPPIEST 2022 OF YOUR ENTIRE LIFE. I LOVE YOU. I LOVE MR. ESPARZA AND ALL OF MY BEAUTIFUL FRIENDS. I ABSOLUTELY FEEL LIKE CRYING. 🙏
SINCERELY PETER
Love it thank you my friend and much success to you and your channel.
You are right last year I bought a very expensive watch online for only $60 and it was precision control weapon ground and missile. I was too scare I took it to the. Church and left it never turn back
It's simple & elegant... very beautiful
For the price I hope it comes with a time traveling device!! But it is a very UNIQUE!!! I like it!
great review . Nice unique watch as the rest of their product . I own Da Vinci.,which is extremely well made beyond value .Even the watch band with detail thoughts that goes in .
Wow...that is fascinating, i would look at it for hours.
Great review my friend ❤
$23k AUD, No bloody way!!!
How do you buy it
Chinese is one of the most diligent and intelligent people in the world.
Behrens X Chaykin Looks lit.
I remember when the audiophile world laughed at the original (no copy but their own tech) Chinese amplifiers. Then they went silent after the Chinese products had had a couple of years to tune their quality because they offered immense bang for the buck. I see the same thing with Chinese EV's, ya'll better get ready for surprises.
0 rnd cost and slave labor Ofcourse it’s cheap
I mean it’s easy when China steals all of our IP. Doesn’t matter anyway, they may improve but they’ll never catch up.
Actually chines EV already surpassed most others years ago.
@@ihmpallno. They get paid very well. Debunk your brain from FB education.
@@bruceyung70 no they haven’t lol. They make a lot, they’re still shit
Not everyone’s taste and certainly not mine, but if it floats your boat, why not?
I don’t wear jewellery….gold or precious metals …and went off watch’s …or even wearing a watch …. I Would not collect watch’s … Seems Collecting is another Addiction….. a world of consumerism…which has grown into a trap and addition … however bless this Guy ….. and his channel …..the wonderfully powerful camera microscope was fantastic….
What is this "comperisjin" you're talking about ?
Behrens is making some amazing watches!
It's a myth that there would be no innovation if competition didn't exist.
What do you think about Oblvlo Brand?
The King of Copy and Paste has come to the watch industry.
And you can’t even afford this one
@@Sanyo_Wesler 🤡
Very cool!
Awesome to say the least!
Gorgeous, compact for best price
Very nice watch.
Stunning!!!!
Better option than too expensive USD 1 mil per piece Jacob & Co Astronomia
I'm surprised there isn't more competition from the emirates.
Would be the perfect expensive material all in house manufacturing industry.
What is the name of that watch\
I would have appreciated some iron around, inside is very nice!
Saying 'I challenge you to find a watch like this at a similar price' in China, is just a matter of time. 🤔😉
That's a nice watch.
Which one is cheapest skeleton watch?
Unless you have dumb money, anything over say like $5k your paying for the name at that point. Would you trust a $14k Chinese watch brand? Most spending those dollars want a recognized name usually of Swiss or Japanese movements. Just seems like a very very very small market.......
Work of Art.
I have quite a few chinese watches. This does not look like a 13K watch. The finishing on the movement is actuallyreslly nice. But the detail on everything going on with the dial and case catches my eye in BAD way. It may DO things nothing in this price range can do, but at what cost. Hard pass.
Well, it's sometehing different... that's for sure. The overall finishing looks good, but the upper gear of the retrograde shows clear burrs that haven't been removed. Inexcusable.
the one he reviewed is a prototype
@@lukas_nebulahunter I don’t thinks that’s an excuse for cutting corners.
I need to level up before I can step into one of these watches.
Wow this is actually beautiful
No info on how much time it looses per day?
I wonder what’s the watch’s name in Chinese, since its name is wayyy to easy for English speakers to pronounce, which by itself isn’t a bad thing, but the company should at least be bolder on its branding & country of origin.
Cool watch
How Many cost this watch
$ 13-5K
I love that and it's actually in reach for me
Price?
Watch the video first👍🏻😅
Most luxury goods are made in China. For those who are complaining it’s China made!
I thought it was a fantastic watch until I saw the price. I'm going to be wrong still a fantastic watch but not something I would incorporate into my own collection at that price point. There are some people that that is within their means and that is something that they like. the most expensive watch I own is $7,000, And I got it as a trade lol
Great mechanical set up - but more design is neccesary on the case itself - looks cheap and mickey mouse from any distance.
LOL - I can mimic that watch face on my Samsung Watch5 and also answer calls and it only cost $250.00.
And?
to a point...ive have both....a "physical real" watch is a definate "panty dropper"...the droids and imacs, no.
