Wonderful stream. Thank you for showing such great craftsmanship and art. Hope to see more of this! Would love to see or have you explain in a video the difference between a flying tourbillon and a regular tourbillon

GOs high end references are criminally underrated.

not for long & they will raise up, What's good about german old school is they never disrespect thier craft, unless rare occasions find great offers. what you pay for what you get, you can see this at any german manufacture at any industry to be honest. so as same for time pieces.

Amazing show Tim! I'm a big fan of German horology! If I may suggest can you make a similar show talking about high Japanese horology as well? Please talk about Credor, Hajime Asaoka and Ming if possible. I recently had a change to play with a Credor Sonnerie and just fell in love with it🤩 Best, Amintas

I'll need a few samples to illustrate that like this show. Right now Asaoka, Kikuno, and most Micro Artist Credors don't come around often enough for me to take original photos. Almost all of the detail photography in this episode is my own from encounters with the watches discussed. Best, Tim

Awesome content as always! Let me followup with a remark about the maltese cross of the Zeitwerk: It prevents the mainspring from being fully wounded. That is, it cuts the start of the energy delivery. Stopping the watch is implemented with an unrelated system that consists of a snail and a finger connected all the way down to the balance. This system is discrete and activated after a certain amount of mainspring jumps. That is why the second hand gets stopped at 12 o'clock.

I've heard this but never from an official source. I'm not sure how it works on the new ones with the stopworks effectively gone from the barrel assembly - or at least where I can see it. Best, Tim

@@the1916companywatchreviews (I have posted my answer several times, but it gets deleted somehow. Let me try again without including a link, in case a spam filter is flagging that.) That the function of the maltese cross is to stop the watch is a very extended misconception. To verify my description above from an official source, Anthony de Haas and Robert Hoffmann gave an awesome talk about the Zeitwerk in the Horological Society of New York three years ago. Please search for it here, it is online, Robert explains the function of the maltese cross and the separate stop work starting at 38m 42s.

Great show Tim. I regularly need a 10min countdown and am your wrist double. Am I better going UN Marine Regatta or PanoRetroGraph? All the best, Ed

You would have to move up to at least a 5370 If you want better chronograph movement finishing than on a Datograph from Patek. 5170 and 5270, whilst great watches in their own right, cannot compare in this respect.

Minerva’s 16.29 is objectively better finished than the Lange once you get under the macro lens. You can tell Lange uses a handheld drill bit/pad evidenced by the super thin bevels. Lange & Heyne and Moritz Grossmann use a similar technique which can clearly be seen in the respective KZbin videos that show their in-house work being done.

RR auto was spun off from RR aerospace/defense. The car company never stoped. The new company was just the auto division, which was already separate from the rest of the company. I might have misunderstood you, you made it sound like the company was resurrected.
