10 Watches Above the Holy Trinity

[@meson183]

Merry Christmas to you and yours, Bill. What a great vid. It's like a Christmas present to us all. Thank you so much.

[@watchartsci]

Hey Meson, what a kind thing to say. I wish I could give everyone a Philippe Dufour Simplicity, but my wife wouldn't let me... Merry Christmas 🎅 & Happy New Year 🥳 Take care and be safe, Bill😷

Hi Paul, we're all worried about the folks in the UK. By this time next year, I hope we have nothing left of COVID19 except dim memories. Merry Christmas 🎅 & Happy New Year 🥳 Take care and be safe, Bill😷

[@TimG--]

Really well done Bill! Excellent. I agree to disagree: Example :FP Journe is an excellent and great watch. Chanel owns 20% of the company at least. They might own more and Journe (the person) may not be around tomorrow All of the watch companies you mentioned are outstanding but don’t have the heritage or legacy the Holy Trinity Brands do. AP, PP & VC have the brand recognition, stories behind the Brand and have been tested over time. It’s like comparing Harvard, Yale, University of Chicago and Stanford to University of Connecticut, University of Austin, University of Florida and Ohio University. The last four schools are great schools but how many Presidents (of the United States) Supreme Courts Justices or CEOs of Goldman Sachs have the produced! Legacy is Big!! FP Journe and the others you mentioned are great but have no legacy & no club status. Isn’t that a factor of buying a watch? For me it is. The watches you mentioned all have the “Richard Mille Factor”. Another great watch of its peers but let’s see if it lasts the test of time. I don’t think that band will. Nice video mate. Merry Christmas 🎄

[@leyay7540]

I don't agree. I wouldn't put these watches with RM together. For me heritage doesn't matter at all. I am much more willing to support a young passionate watchmaker than a well-known but nothing interesting big brand.

[@watchartsci]

Hey, Tim, legacy is history held together with hyperbole. L. Leroy is a good example. Fabulous history as Leroy worked with Abraham Breguet, made a watch for Marie Antoinette's lover and held the record for most complicated watch from 1900-1989 when Patek Philippe made one more complicated ... and then surpassed by Vacheron Constantin in 2015. That's when I bought an L. Leroy ... it was ticking on an ETA, and the brass at L. Leroy said they didn't know what kind of movement it had! So much for legacy. Quality is quality; skill is skill, and craftsmanship is craftsmanship-with or without legacy. Merry Christmas 🎅 & Happy New Year 🥳 Take care and be safe, Bill😷

[@TimG--]

@@watchartsci hey Bill. The main issue are these micro brands going to survive after Covid? We shall see. AP we should all thank in the early 70s for keeping the mechanical movement alive. VC the oldest brand in the world will always be around with or without Richmond. I was told that VC wanted go low price (for them) to get the young collector in the 56 collection. It’s a VC! Who knows if a Greubek or Asaoka will be here in 20 years. Yes they a beautiful but what happens if you pass down this watch to next generation and they need service. Holly Trinity are meant to pass down. Stay Safe.

[@TimG--]

@@leyay7540 see my comment to Bill. After Covid we will see if these micro brands are around still.

[@leyay7540]

@@TimG-- In my opinion those big brands will get heavier hit by COVID. Many independents still have long waiting lists. Life is short and unexpected. I pretty enjoy independent watchmaking so far and that's enough for me.

Hi Bill, this is a very informative and interesting list and I learned a few new names! It would be great if you may have another list of watch makers above the Holy Trinity but with the condition of having at least one model below $40K. FP Journe and Gronefeld from this list will qualify. De Bethune and Laurent Ferrier offer entry level models that below $40k, but not sure if you would consider them above the Holy Trinity. Would love to see the names you may have for us. Thanks again and take care, Bill!

[@juleswild9498]

All magnificent stuff. No doubt about these examples being above the trinity. Would it be pretentious to say fellas like Moser and Laurent Ferrier can be considered superior to the run of the mill trinity watches? Further contenders that very much share the style of Cyrill Brivet-Naudot are Belier and Remi Cools who too make stuff that to me ranks way higher than some mainstream HH watch. There's some stuff that's more out there in terms of design maybe thus making the comparison maybe a bit difficult but holds its ground in terms of finishing like Akrivia, Genus, MB&F, Urwerk, De Bethune, Crayon, Emmanuel Bouchet, Konstantin Chaykin, Thomas Prescher, Haldimann, Ferdinand Berthoud, David Candaux, Valerii Danevych and of course Romain Gautier do show the best watchmaking can be. Ok, I admit, I'm a huge fanboy of the independents which makes the span of what I personally consider superior even larger. Vault who worked with Andreas Streller for example made something so fantastic no PP, AP or VC is nearly as cool as their V1. HYT well, liquid time! I could go on forever 😂. Anyways, Bill I had no idea you had a KZbin channel, thank you KZbin algorithm. Haven't read anything from you in a while in Horology Talk hope you're doing well. Cheers

[@donellmcclure5445]

I'm interested in anyone's opinion as I don't have much knowledge in the ultra luxury high end realm of watches beyond a little reading and KZbin videos but it would seem among Patek,V.C., A.P., and I'll include A. Lange and JLC that they all make watches in the $10k to $50k range that are excellent but for lack of better phrasing below high end independents. But then they also make very high end $100,000 plus watches in very limited quantities that would seem in every imaginable way on par with any independent watch except for production numbers. Something like the Patek 5270P or Vacheron Traditionnelle twin beat perpetual calendar, would they be considered roughly equal to the watches in this video or is a clear distinction made because independents use more old craft style techniques and fewer hands touch the watch being made? All of these watches are way beyond my ability to afford but they are fascinating in regards to the work and craft that goes into them.

[@watchartsci]

Find the price you like and find good buys in that range. Take care and stay safe, Bill😷

[@southnc63]

Bill, I don't think there is a "Holy Trinity" any more - it is pretty much a "two-horse" race between Patek and A Lange & Sohne. Beyond that, I would add the following to your list - Romain Gauthier (Dufour disciple), De Bethune brand, Christophe Claret, Ludovic Ballouard, Vianney Halter, and Ferdinand Berthoud brand. Happy Holidays.
