A Walk Through Zenith Watches - Ep. 9 - WATCHMAKING ROADTRIP

[@GiacomoTravaglione]

I was able to visit Zenith a bit more than a year ago and it really is a remarkable manufacture and one of the only one still producing 100% of the movements in-house. This was a great way to relive this awesome day, shoutout also to Paul Wirth for showing you around, I had a great time with him and Patrick Jaron that day. Cheers!

[@watchestv-com]

So a nice souvenir for you!!! Cool

@Johnny Aydin Instablaster :)

[@johnnyaydin4421]

@Jameson Dexter I really appreciate your reply. I found the site on google and I'm in the hacking process atm. Takes quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.

[@SimonFanProductions]

Great tour by Zenith! I love the history, methods and the art of watch making!

[@MrMuttonhollow]

Well planed out trip. The guys are seeing everything. Thanks for some fun videos.

[@watchestv-com]

Thanks a lot and indeed quite intense in such a short period of time!

[@lucachinellato5936]

FANTASTIC! Zenith is unique!

[@amintaslneto]

Love to see the diversity and content richness of this trip! You guys are killing it. Well done Watch TV!!

[@watchestv-com]

Thanks so much, very appreciated!

[@willisbcteoh9840]

Fine blanking technique... superb engineering and manufacturing...edm, wire cut, mill turn, polishing etc..

[@Rimrock300]

Wow, what a trip these guys had..now Zenith)

[@watchestv-com]

And it's not totally over ;)

[@Avidcomp]

This is a brilliant channel. I enjoy it and the processes we get to see are wonderful. Since however, I watched George Daniels and Roger W Smith's process, I can see how their pieces are just world's apart and so very special.

[@JOERAMONE3]

My favourite watch brand. I have the Zenith Sporto Limited Edition for 200 pieces and the Zenith Grand Prix Paris 1900 pocket watch. I love my Zenith.

[@watchestv-com]

Very nice!!!

[@danieleporeba.]

You're really killing it guys!

[@watchestv-com]

Cool ;)

[@nomomomo5422]

Added El Primero Defy 21 - Singapore Edition and the 96.0525.4000 El Primero Defy XTREME - both generate excitement when being shown. Great Video!

[@luisn5]

Excellent series. Looking at different manufacturers and their production processes and philosophies is very educational. Thank you.

[@watchestv-com]

Very welcome!

[@markjob6354]

This was again a fascinating road trip episode ! Even a company which uses production machinery to produce its watches can result in a product of an incredibly high level of precision and sophistication !

[@watchestv-com]

Absolutely right!

[@kennethtape3362]

I had no idea that zenith was such a integral part of the movement industry :) ‘fantastic insight’ and a great video to boot :)

[@watchestv-com]

Very nice to hear, thanks for your comment! Keeps us going ;)

[@Claus-L.Mueller]

Wow! Another episode that gave me goosebumps! A Zenith El Primero is still on my list. But I'm afraid it is going to be there for quite a while... ;)

[@elguapo5620]

Don't lose hope Claus ! One day that El Primero will knock on your door :)

[@watchestv-com]

I think so too!!!!

[@jeffm0518]

LOVE the tours!

[@watchestv-com]

Happy you enjoyed this!

[@mahamza86]

These Episodes are just amazing. Great Work.

[@watchestv-com]

Thanks a lot!

[@dvamateur]

Very nice hand made watches. CNC cutters, CAD design, robots, very impressive, almost as impressive as Citizen quartz movements put together by hand.

[@SoCalFreelance]

9:30 That's some passion for watchmaking right there. I would be curious to know how many watch components can be stamped. I'm also fascinated by the precision machining. Look forward to the tools segment.

[@OscarRPalma]

6 years old video, and I never saw it, very nice video Marc Andre and very lucky guys to make a roadtrip to Chronos Meca, I have an El Primero chrono and I broke the crown stem in my country there is no AD for Zenith, im devastated since I cannot use my El Primero, I wish I can make a road trip to Le Locle and get my watch fixed and see all of this amazing Maison.

[@philipallen2730]

Amazing vidoes amazing trip very lucky guys

[@valdachef]

Love the show dude

[@watchestv-com]

That's nice, thanks so much !!

[@ApriliaRacer14]

I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for posting material like this. What started as a childhood horological curiosity into a mechanical and manufacture obsession in adulthood...this video is checked all the boxes for me.

[@watchestv-com]

Great, very happy to hear this, thanks a lot!! Best wishes to you

[@PerkasetPXPodcast]

The soundtracks : ) love it

[@aovint63]

This channel is the only I vote 'like' before watching the video. I wonder what's the technology behind the air quality in these factories as dust is part of the process yet is highly undesirable in the watch.

[@watchestv-com]

They use pressure differences to evacuate the air from one room to the other, something similar as you will find in a surgical room

[@aovint63]

TheWATCHES.tv Thanks for the answer.

[@compmanben2593]

Hey guys - I like the videos that you make. Keep up the good work.

[@jvillegas25]

zenith ⭐♾ superbe"

[@jfrschnell]

With the money from the auction (the Patek) I think I would have a good time on a road trip of these Masters of Time!

[@Martin-pb7ts]

I love these shows.

[@watchestv-com]

Happy you liked it, many thanks!

[@markolml]

Amazing!!

[@alligatorpc]

love this channel.

[@scottmenin813]

I could "watch" these company walkthroughs all day..... if it wasn't for having to work, of course.

[@watchestv-com]

Hahaha, happy you liked it 👍👍

[@dineshjiawan]

Very impressive once again. You should know that watchmakers are also involved in manufacturing tools for the finest field of surgery like vitreoretinal surgery done by ophthalmologists.

[@watchestv-com]

Absolutely true, there are quite some similarities in terms of skills involved and in the La Chaux-de-Fonds region, you will indeed find many other companies working in the medical sector.

[@MrVoayer]

Wonderful tour of Zenith factory, demonstrating various production phases. But, curiously, the first and most fundamental phase was not shown: that of development of a new movement. It would be nice to meet engineers who devise mechanisms and complications ! Anyway, very, very enjoyable video. Like the rest from your channel !

[@watchestv-com]

Thanks a lot and yes here the focus was put on the manufacturing dimension and not the development. We've covered this in some other videos, but will do a special on this in the near future. All the best to you

[@realdata8624]

how does one plan this trip? looks like a great time

[@joonsukkim7904]

Doesnt the el primero movement beat at 5hz? 36000vph?

[@watchestv-com]

+Joonsuk Kim yes you are right... lapsus...

[@jayzbond007]

A proud owner of the El Primero Chronomaster. Will never own a Rolex...never!

[@watchestv-com]

Nice watch for sure

[@algorithm007ify]

Good taste..Zenith is better than Rolex.

[@CJ-rb3do]

Superb watch. But, never? Rolexes are for everyone and as a watch nerd, I understand your point. But, I’d never turn down the chance to own a vintage 1950s date just. That’ll be my case for a Rolex. I’ll never buy one of the flashy modern types.

[@robertvanderpoel7721]

I think your statement doesn’t make any sense. Why can’t a watch enthousiast who likes Zenith, also like other brands like Rolex? I hope you understand that Rolex is the only reason that Zenith and other brands making mechanical watches survived the crisis. Ik like and own both Zenith and Rolex, amongst other makes.

[@andrewssiegel3420]

I will gladly accept a Rolex. Finding a buyer the second I get it lol. I'm with you Rolex makes good noises as it hits the waste basket. 😉

[@mohamedkadaoui7318]

THXX to share .. AMAZING

[@watchestv-com]

Thanks and happy you liked it! Did you see other episodes of our Watchmaking Roadtrip adventure?

[@mohamedkadaoui7318]

ALL OF THEM .... LOVE IT

[@rajoak3097]

Surely these guys are mesmerised by this fabulous trip, waiting desperately for rolex and thank you all to give us a chance to have a glance at these industries.

[@watchestv-com]

All about sharing!!!!

[@Bhatakti_Hawas]

That watch tattoo on the woman's right foream @ 9:30 😍🙏👌

[@blakestar4100]

She is wifey status for sure.

[@CarlWong510]

So if Zenith supply movement, can I get their movement and make the casing my self? And if possible, sold them commercially?

[@watchestv-com]

That used to be the case many years ago, but now they focus only on the movements for their own watches.

[@elilaw1377]

Is that an mb&f watch on your wrist?

[@watchestv-com]

Yes it is, the LM1

[@officialpartychannel]

I really need to visit Switzerland, I heard it's cheaper to visit than France.

[@watchestv-com]

Unfortunately, this is a bit questionable, but will be happy to help you out if you want to come!

[@Jm4steam]

Another good, interesting video. I would be so honored to visit the people and places you present. Will you present/contact Mr Steffen Pahlow? ( KZbin channel under same name)

[@watchestv-com]

Not for this Roadtrip, but who knows, one day!!!!

[@giwr]

Not 4Hz but 5Hz ;)

[@watchestv-com]

Yes, tongue slip unfortunately...

[@chrisb9156]

They are dies not presses

[@SimonK3113]

you r great. a real presenter unlike some ol fart archy !

[@watchestv-com]

Thanks so much and all the best to you!

[@chuanjoo]

5 hertz

[@watchestv-com]

Yes, my bad... just slipped form my mouth... :(

[@Rog5446]

Using Cosworth as an analogy for an engine maker for cars and Zenith as a movement maker for watched is incorrect. Cosworth did not manufacture engines, instead, they used Ford engines as Ébauches, which they would modify. Cosworth were eventually bought by Ford.

[@BossHugo84]

You guys better go to Rolex

[@watchestv-com]

Would be nice for sure!!!!

[@BossHugo84]

TheWATCHES.tv so you guys didn't go ? Noooo

[@watchestv-com]

That's quite a hard one to open the doors of... but one day we hope!!!!!!!!!

[@algorithm007ify]

Why? Zenith is much better.

[@louis290663]

Je trouve que le sujet est tout à fait d'intérêt pour un amateur d'horlogerie mais le présentateur bien que connaissant et intéressant met ses intonations trop fortes sur certaines syllabes ce qui rend le reportage parfois pénible à écouter.
