Very interesting! Thanks for posting. :thumbup: :thumbup: I wonder how long is the process?

Interesting but it would be absolutely fascinating to know how this same process was in the 18th and 19th centuries when they had no electrically driven aids; lathes etc.

Yes. Or computers; did I see laser etching of text on metal?
The process for making Harmonicas has changed a bit too, Honher highly automated, Seydel was still hand assembling them. Seydel was on the wrong side of the wall.

I had to check; the watch they were making starts at $1900 and tops out at $3500 depending on options. Glashutte is the name of the town in Germany.

That's why mechanical watches are so interesting to those of us that collect them.

I'd be willing to bet that there's never been one drop of caffeine that's ever made it past the door in that place !
Those people { if photographers } would never need image stabilization lenses......nor tripods for that matter ! :-)

Very good video, there will always be a demand for mechanical watches in my opinion.

Very interesting. Did you notice the building, near the beginning of the video? There is a glassed in section on the right hand side, over the garage. Notice the angle it sits on. I wonder if it moves to follow the sun.

That was very cool! Makes me want to buy one. Cheers.

You would think that watch-making is a young man's/women's job while they still have excellent vision.

Chicken feed compared to Patek Phillipe or Chopard.
