Fantastic Visit of Greubel Forsey - Ep. 11 - WATCHMAKING ROADTRIP

[@FedericoTalksWatches]

I love this road trip series! Keep it up guys!

[@watchestv-com]

Thanks a lot, but unfortunately reaching the end :((

[@pardinik2]

The best channel of watches I know, by far. Thank you and keep the awesome job

[@watchestv-com]

That's very nice of you, thanks so much for this!!

[@MrVoayer]

Grand Finale of the series ! And a testament of astonishing ideas, of art and science of watchmaking, of passion and devotion. Great series Mark Andre !

[@watchestv-com]

As you say, a grand finale!!! That was really something special for all of us

[@Bulkman1337]

Amazing series! The Watches TV thank you for the smiles and enjoyment :)

[@watchestv-com]

Very welcome, happy you enjoy it as much as us!!!

[@pth8888]

Excellent road trip series and I have enjoy each one very much. Great job guys! Wish I could be the next participant in the next series. Haha!

[@watchestv-com]

Who knows... All the best to you!

[@markjob6354]

Thank You so much for doing this entire series ! It was truly an amazing look into an industry in a way most people will simply never see ! You folks @ The Watches TV have done a truly great job with this road trip. I am sure there is precision watch making in Heaven ! The question I want to be answered is this :Irregardless to price, is it not now possible to manufacture a precision mechanical watch with the same precision as an electronic quartz watch ? One would consider it a possibility with the existence of modern day ultra high precision C & C manufacturing, computer assisted design, and talented ateliers of high end watch making.

[@watchestv-com]

Thanks a lot for your comment and regarding your question, well unfortunately not as precise. Actually Greubel Forsey have won the chronometry price a few years ago and the precision criteria are pretty strict! This price is held only once in a while.

[@markjob6354]

TheWATCHES.tv​ Well, winning the Chronometry award is great, but why not go for the biggest prize. If you consider the high end mechanical watch industry as a whole, then the perfection of a mechanical watch which would be of *equal* precision to a quartz electronic watch would put the Swiss industry back in the driver's seat. thewatches.tv

[@brianhinder3652]

Brilliant ! A superb series. Should be in line for some sort of award. Marc you have done us proud.

[@watchestv-com]

Nice to hear, thanks a lot!!!

[@DarkTechnology1]

This made me appreciate the brand even more, thanks for sharing this journey

[@luisn5]

Enjoyable series. Your work and dedication paid off; the series was not only entertaining, but also very informative and educational. Thank you!

[@watchestv-com]

Thanks, you're very welcome and still the conclusion of all this coming up next Thursday. Best to you

[@RoelfvanderMerwe]

Marc, you are the coolest guy on KZbin. I love your style and personality!

[@kamranahmad6928]

Love the road trip...Please bring more of this stuffs.

[@SamWade]

After we all got into the van, Bashir said to me that we would be "trying on some million dollar watches today!" NOTHING compares to Gruebel Forsey. They depth and the quality of the finishing simply can not be shared over video. To anyone who likes the way they look you HAVE to see one in person. I promise you won't be disapointed!

[@paulandsueroberts4121]

Sam Wade only matched by rwsmithwatches perhaps.

[@socrispy7114]

its been awesome going on the journey with you guys, I loved every second of it!!!

[@carlosdominguez01]

a bit sad the road trip's coming to a close, but fantastic tagging along for the ride! cheers & more power to watches tv!

[@Claus-L.Mueller]

Great Final for this road trip. I have to admit, that I totally oversee this brand so far. Thanks a lot for this amazing series!

[@watchestv-com]

You are more than welcome and yes it's an amazing company with fantastic, authentic and passionate people.

[@MrMuttonhollow]

Thanks so much for this series, just wonderful.

[@mahamza86]

Superb Series. Hope to see it next year as well.

[@watchestv-com]

We'll do what it takes to make it happen!

[@Frankiewizard]

Hello Marc Andre, very nice mini series. Is it possible to purchase a (watch kit) Meaning a box with all the parts in, so you can make your own watch ? (put it together your self). Not more than fifty pieces sounds cool. Cheers Frankie.

[@watchestv-com]

There are options and we will actually do something about this in the near future. Best to you

[@amintaslneto]

Great work Watches TV! Looking forward to the next destination of the watch lovers tour.. Glashutte? maybe?? ;) One last idea: bring the van to Dubai Watch Week next year!!

[@watchestv-com]

Haha, that would be great, but to drive it down there from Geneva would be quite an adventure!

[@milanasanovic5859]

Respect to everyone involved this was truly a grand finale

[@PaulPagel]

What an amazing adventure to be a part of! This has got me even more hooked onto watches. I hope to do a tour of my own like this. Will you ever have an adventure tour with women? That would garner so much interest and bring the female watch enthusiasts out of the woodwork!

[@watchestv-com]

I would be so delighted to do so, maybe next year!

[@Bhatakti_Hawas]

Kudos WatchesTV...I don't think I'll ever be able to buy such high end swiss/german watches. But through your channel I have definitely got an insight on how it might feel to wear such intricate machinery on you wrist. TYVM Marc 👍👍👍

[@watchestv-com]

You are very welcome and we're super happy to bring this to you, we know the chance we have and just love sharing it with all of you.

[@paulandsueroberts4121]

It's been a great journey really enjoyed it....... But will you do another next year?

[@watchestv-com]

We hope so!! Plenty of ideas for sure...

[@adriqos]

Love to see the faces of people who completely love watches. Well done gentlemen

[@watchestv-com]

Thanks a lot and sharing enthusiasm is for sure part of the journey!

[@rs666sathan666pk]

Many of the employees of GF seem to be rocker/metalhead. Now this is without doubt my favorite brand!

[@watchestv-com]

Yes, they are and love this little gap between what they manufacture and this rock'n roll dimension!

[@aovint63]

Stunning video. I just wish you had the audio equipment to capture the sounds of these watches - the ticking, winding and minute repeater sounds are an essential part of the fun of these "mechanical organisms".

[@watchestv-com]

You're very right and did you see by any chance our Minute Repeater comparison video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hIunp62GotONhZY

[@aovint63]

Thanks for the link, I loved it. There's a video on YT with the CEO of Patek where he shows the different sounds made by different metals used in minute repeaters which I liked. However, the day to day ticking and winding, especially with high beat movements are just as fascinating to me.

[@ApriliaRacer14]

Epic manufacture visit!

[@simonskeggs7284]

Another fantastic video 👍

[@TeslasSecret]

Marc, is that an MB&F on your wrist ? Congratulations if it is, and a remarkable choice to compliment such a video. MB&F and GF are some of those rare companies who manage to create pieces of such a deep and almost organic nature. Keep the good work coming !

[@watchestv-com]

Thanks and indeed it is an LM1 by MB&F, just love love love this timepiece.

[@stevstomatoe6456]

This series was amazing. My favorite was showing how Patek Philippe re-services all its watches. It's so cool that they have such amazing dedication to their legacy.

[@watchestv-com]

And that's precisely what we love with watchmaking; this passion, this dedication!! Thanks a lot for your kind comment. All the best to you

[@danny77670000]

Well done, outstanding

[@kennethtape3362]

a vocation of a higher calling :) it seemed so spiritual. greubul fosrsey almost has a halo around it :) surely to become a real heavyweight sometime in the future :)

[@alligatorpc]

I love the watchmaking roadtrips !!

[@watchestv-com]

Thanks a lot, it was a great adventure! All the best to you

[@Crypto_369_Trader]

Best content ever As always !

[@watchestv-com]

Thanks for the nice comment!

[@robertwestinghouse4098]

Excellent. I felt I was almost there...

[@watchestv-com]

Thanks and really take this as a compliment! Best to you

[@alllllll1]

man I love this chnnel

[@watchestv-com]

Thanks ;)

[@FirestormAA]

Wow what a dream trip for watch lovers! Totally rocks! Marc great effort to have put in to make this happen.

[@watchestv-com]

Many thanks and this was indeed a blast!

[@jfrschnell]

I think Neil (min 9:18) just summed up of what is a mechanical watch is... live thing

[@watchestv-com]

Very true, a mechanical live object!!!!

[@Moose-ez1oo]

Thanks for the sharing: GF and Jc Dufour probably the best experience of all

[@watchestv-com]

Very special moments indeed, but again everyone is important and has a place in watchmaking ;)

[@Moose-ez1oo]

no doubt of course Two days ago Pequignet announced very bad financial news…sad for the Calibre Royal

[@SoCalFreelance]

I say embrace the newest technology to make mechanical wonderment for the wrist

[@watchestv-com]

Exactly!

[@camerongupta6994]

Was that a snide comment towards Rolex? 😜

[@watchestv-com]

They don't pretend to do things by hand, no problem at all with the Crown ;) a very respectful company.

[@florianthomas7852]

One day a Greubel Forsey watch will complement my wrist.

[@watchestv-com]

We all dream the same...
