I have to respectfully disagree... The logo argument has been rumbling for years and France, doing what France does best, completely ignored it. As for innovation, I think the range over the past few years has consisted of more and more blatant copies than at any time in their history. Prices have gone up dramatically, QC and CS has deteriorated ( especially since Wera left), so they're a brand that I've grown away from. Maybe the colab with Fears will interest me or the rumoured minute repeater. Fair play to you regarding your relationship 👍

@@YoureTerrific just to echo their point, please keep doing videos across the price spectrum. As they grow in subscribers, many youtubers move up market with their reviews and end up focusing solely on watches in the > $3000 price range or various micro brands that they get paid to review. Which is fine, but misses out on a lot of cool watches. With this true compressor case, this is an example of a cool watch that some other guys wouldn’t ever do, which is a shame.
@alectang16142 жыл бұрын
Another great review as always Evan. Most modern super-compressor cases are just for show (JLC Polaris, Longines Legend Diver, IWC Aquatimer etc) as modern seals negate the need for these complex cases. So I applaud CW for making one of these supposedly working super-compressors. Super-compressors went the way of the Dodo due to one fatal flaw - they often leaked if the diver did not descend into the water quick enough during a dive as the shallow depths don't produce enough pressure for the cases to work. Quite an interesting piece of trivia for a pub quiz ...🙊
@jamesblonde2271 Жыл бұрын
Well that and the fact that the rubber for gaskets improved and the "super compressor" effect can be achieved bythe Blancpain/Vostock ring shield back and deformable acrylic glass solution, that Finnish channel took a standard Vostock Zisou to 800m+. I' did a post once about how that famous Vostock engineering "solution" came out at the same time Blancpains patents for the ring/shield caseback lapsed, (they stopped actually using them before the 60's bagan) Like other watch myths, did you know for instance Blancpain did not invent the tourbillion, Omega invented the dive watch and the first watch is space was a Sturmanskie, also Seiko is the second oldest watch company in the world after VC?

Best value microbrand in my opinion. And that's a HUGE compliment. The level of design, creativity, craftsmanship, willingness to experiment and overall quality control is tremendous for the price. Then you have their luxury pieces which are frankly mind blowing and represent I think even better value. So with the C60 Apex LE they partnered with Armin Strom to do a skeletonised version of their INHOUSE SH21 movement and they even BLUED the BRIDGES! For only $4300 USD... Lunacy. They only made 100 of them but I'd take one of them over a $30k Omega Sea Master. I really would.
