    One thing I absolutely love about horology is the collision of beauty, expression, precision, and history; simultaneously connecting past, present and future.

    I almost literally never comment on ANYTHING on TH-cam. I preface with that to apply emphasis to the magnitude of my respect and admiration for the production of this video.
    Truly brilliant. Your channel is excellent, but this? This is exceptional.
    Thanks for your time, expertise, and vision. Sincerely.

    A absolute jewel of a documentary.
    Imagine a time when you used your pulse as a standard to measure something else by, instead of the other way around. And then all they way up to the thousandths-of-a-second atomic clock. And in the intervening hundreds of years, the same shapes--the balance wheel, the pallet fork, the mainspring in its barrel--were all there, in different sizes, made of different materials, doing the same job, using the same principle.
    It couldn't have been illustrated better. Thanks, Oisín.

    You just keep producing better and better videos. The way you make use of history, art, culture, music, science, architecture, scenery, food, drink etc and wrap it all in a watch or time related theme is absolutely incredible and so compelling. Us Irish people don't compliment each other much... but my God... you did an incredible job again with this video.

    Oisin, I honestly don’t know why the Science Channel, Military Channel, Discovery Channel and the History Channel have not hired you or at least syndicated your productions .
    Every video you have come out with is not only entertaining and educational but provocative as well.
    There is nobody out on TH-cam that can match your productions .
    This video is by far one of my favorites that you have done .
    By the way it’s no wonder we haven’t seen a Watches and Wonders video besides the Austin Collaboration the other day .
    Excellent is an understatement , pure brilliance is more like it .
    My hat off to you my friend.
    👏👏👏👏👏👏

    I got into the hobby about a year ago of learning about watches and starting a small collection. This is probably the best and most important video I’ve seen in the last year. It’s finally “clicked” in my head as to what is actually happening inside my watch or any clock. Thank you! Truly an outstanding and informative video.
