Breguet: Guilloche Dials explained by Jeff Kingston

[@42Watchman]

Jeff Kingston explains the Art of Guilloche' in a precise manner. Alluding to the Breguet factory, with 200 year old Rose Engines, gives this Art a sense of History, and Depth...

i would love to spend a day at the Breguet factory just watching these craftsmen at work. I’m in awe. there’s another vid of a woman at the factory winding a spring my hand using two tweezers and a microscope that blew my mind

[@ytdavidkwei]

Simply stunning dial and craftsmanship! Tradition.

Nice video, thanks for sharing!

I suspect there would be a market for pre-made guilloche watch dial blanks for small watchmakers to purchase.

[@GPflashclass]

Breguet didn't introduce guilloche to watches, but he did make them popular.

I used to do quite a bit of metal working on a lathe. I’d love to mess with a rose engine lathe some time. Apparently, rose engine lathes haven’t been made for several decades now and parts for them are hard to come by.

[@thejasonrk]

there are well made modern machines that are designed like the old ones. you can also build your own, many watch makers will make their own tools as well. check out Lindow and ornementalroseengine dot com

"those bits of gold are saved" gee wiz

[@nilfire77]

So Breguet has finally broken free from outsourcing their guilloche dial works to Metalem?

[@oxysoxos]

Nothing wrong with giving certain things to specialized professionals. Several watchmanufacturers have their dials made by Metalem.

[@pjdarcy]

1:42 made me laugh out loud. The narrator says "... for one man to do the entire dial" and a woman immediately turns around to glare at him

[@express375]

why don't they cnc it these days :)

[@omar10213245]

why don't YOU cnc it?

[@the_real_micha]

Why such a process could not be done by machines or robots? Would be way easier and less expensive over time.

Watchmaking is all about the artisan art. If you want the most effective time-teller, buy a $10 Casio.
