How a $2M Patek Philippe Made! Switzerland Manual Finishing of Movement Parts | Technology Solutions

[@kimsiewers]

It's amazing the effort, expense and equipment that went into making a watch which is almost as accurate as a solar powered, waterproof Casio for $100. (it receives signals from atomic clocks) Clocks and watches were invented to tell the time; today it costs $16 to have an accurate timepiece.

[@ludmillamantovanni9073]

Kim Siewers you deserve a Casio, I deserve a Patek XD

[@rsemrad2]

Ludmilla, what have you accomplished in your life such that you deserve anything?

[@kuntowicaksono9737]

We can just look at our smartphone to get time accurate time, calendar and even more😁

[@Untgrade]

Whatever they say, a watch like this is a jewel first and a time piece second. It is more or less the men's version of a diamond necklace. The sheer beauty and craftsmanship going into a piece like this is without equal. And it might even be the most accurate time keeper, apart from atomic clock solutions. But if keeping time was so important, they could also buy a Casio. The owners could care less about time, they care about excellence.

[@818Yankee]

Art at its purest!!!

[@bombkuan]

The lesson of the video is, 1) Craft out something fine (is ok to be unnecessary, the most important thing is show the passionate and handcrafted) 2) Marketing, telling how expensive the product could be. Make it famous. If possible, telling how long the brand established, even the figure is nothing much related to the quality. People will just perceive that must be good anyhow. 3) Those social racer (who trying to tell people they just can afford expensive things) will just buy it. Win win strategy. You get the money, they get the fame.

[@cookingprof]

My Patek is close to it's 70th birthday. It keeps better time than my; Rolex, Vacheron ,Baume Capeland Chrono, Cartier Pascha Chronograph, AND, just about ALL the wrist watches in my collection. The only timepiece that I own matches the accuracy of my Patek is even OLDER . It is a pocket watch w/39 jewels as a high grade railroad watch. It is a pain to keep winding that watch due to the fact the fact you need you need to open the back of the case to wind it. The design of the plates are consistent with a Waltham in the US . The marking on the plate is: PT0004. I've not be able to trace that.

[@alanparks7919]

I know! Rolex are decent, tough, middle tier watches; but there’s nothing in any of their models that’s a fair comparison with an even simple Patek.

[@alanparks7919]

My Patek may be a bit older and simpler, but I love it no less. It keeps better time than any watches I’ve ever bought - Rolexes, Omega, Cartier, Blancpain, etc.

[@str1xt]

Whilst this is beautifull, I would like to see it made by hand for 2 mill. Then It would be a work of art.

[@TwoFingeredMamma]

People with two million to splurge on a watch are paying for the label not for the craftsmanship. Watch the movie "Branded".

yep, not "hand" made, but machined by million dollar machining tools..... i agree, a little lame, pure hand etched hand cut would really be crazy but prolly cost 10x more!!, check out some china watches with a open mind

[@cookingprof]

You can't question the potential of ownership of a Patek. I've made a bit of money purchasing their smaller ladies movements that were made in the 1920's & 1930's. I've found that some of these older watches need no more than a cleaning.

[@oak6845]

Forget the $500,000 dollar Patek Philippe that will have to be completely disassembled every five years for service at a cost of $5000 dollars to keep it functioning. My Grand Seiko Spring Dive cost $5,800 dollars and never needs to serviced ever and only gains one second per day, when the Patek loses are gains three seconds per day. Now what really the best timepiece in the world Grand Seiko!

[@lucabrasi5070]

My Invicta for $46 will run for years and never need a service. Looks great. It’s a watch. Tells time. Reality check.

[@timbonator1]

But thats kinda a cheat because spring drive works with technology from Quartz watches. So its not a fair comparison. But i get what you're saying. However then you could also say that my 30€ Casio is the better watch.

[@Gusto20000]

Thanks, I’ll stick to my $250 Garmin that syncs time with GPS satellites

[@tesmat1243]

Spring drive needs servicing man it's like 90% a mechanical watch

[@timbonator1]

@@tesmat1243 right. I don't have any experience but maybe the movement actually doesn't need servicing. But not because it doesn't wear out. It probably still does, but because the Quarz part of the watch regulates the speed of the watch, it can go against the changing speed that comes from worn out parts

I am surprised that the watchmaker is not wearing finger cots around 10:30. I am surprised also that loupes (and contorted positions) are used instead of microscopes. Possibly - hopefully for their eye and back health - this is just staged for the video.

[@ianmedium]

Václav Štěpán they both have merits but if you want best then larger scale Gruebel Forsey or the independents like Roger Smith or Dufour. Saying Lange is the best is like saying Mercedes is the best. Lange equals Mercedes, Smith and Dufour equals Rolls Royce or Bugatti, different leagues but in mainstream mass manufacture I reckon Patek and Lange are pretty much even though I find Lange a bit boring

[@7071t6]

I wonder if those round hole marks or swirls are going to make a wave of air pockets to destabilize the movements inside the watch i know they are sealed units, but still anything which has like a golf ball holes in the coated metal ,will make any movements near it change due to the difference in the wavelength of the sound created as part of the moving part on top of those golf ball like swirl holes? Just saying thats all i am sure the engineers would have looked at that and what it might do to any of the movement of parts near those swirl golf ball holes etc. 🦘🦘👌👌✌✌👍👍
