This is the peak of what humans are capable of creating mechanically & artistically. Unlike everything else in our world today that is disposable or has a limited lifespan the timepieces that Breguet create are immortal timeless pieces of wonder and awe that will be treasured forever.....

One cannot help but have a newfound respect for all the traditional craftsmanship that goes into a Breguet, arguably the finest brand in horology. If I am not wrong Mr Kingston was standing to an old Rose machine used to engrave patterns on the watchface. It's such a pleasure to listen to Mr Kingston's detailed and most knowledgeable insight to the inner workings of a Breguet watch.

Excellent video! Too often treatments like this, dealing with rather sophisticated subject matter, are geared either toward neophyte audiences with little to no knowledge of the technical (and artistic) aspects of these watches, or there is a heavy spin placed on marketing and brand "braggary" about the latest big thing. This video is neither of these. The presenter is obviously knowledgeable and presents an articulate, nicely detailed and objective look at some of Breguet's beautiful work and technical accomplishments, of which the brand can rightly be quite proud, yet never descends into inflated marketing-speak and fluff as so many others are wont to do. In my opinion, this video is meant for an audience possessed of a well rounded understanding and appreciation for the subject matter - as well as the Breguet brand and it's illustrious history - and this presentation speaks very well to that group. Well done!

I'm not a watch expert but i have worked with CAD and the reason is the bit that is used to file down a part is round not a blade edge so creating an angle needs a certain pressure and articulation that cant be done by machines
@jeffkingston6590
@jeffkingston6590 4 жыл бұрын
Here is the answer. Most watch houses don’t edge finish at all. The next rung up, these would be prestige brands, finish the edges with a tool called a touret. It looks like an electric toothbrush. Its rotating tip rounds off the edges. However, a rotating tip can’t finish to a sharp interior angle. Think of the form of the letter Z. The finest finishing is done by hand with a succession of files, each finer than the one before and followed by further hand polishing with wood. This type of finishing is not only traditional it is artistic. It is much more time consuming and expensive. But if you value hand craft, it’s what you want.

Calibrated screw drivers? Hmm, consistent results are obtained only if the driver is consistently kept coaxial with the screw. Any inadvertent offset, such as seen in the video, results in amplification of the torque. In other words, a true calibrated screw driver should have not only a precision blade for engaging the slot in the screw, but also a method for registering and maintaining the alignment of the centerline axes of the driver and screw.
@burritomaker69
@burritomaker69 7 жыл бұрын
sanjursan The amount of torque is not amplified and cannot be simplified as easily as you have stated it. In fact in what has been shown it would most likely decrease. Unless he started using wrist rotation vs finger rotation in order to move the screw that is what it's more dependent on. Of course if he had excellent hand control which I'm sure he does being that he's assembling this complicated of a movement he could more easily apply greater torque but that is not a guarantee and you cannot determine that directly from the video. There is just a greater chance of it.
@burritomaker69

Does a tourbillon make a watch more accurate?, more reliable?, easier to service? Lets face it, a tourbillon is as necessary as a Bugatti 16 cylinder engine in a Kia Forte. The toubillon is just a bragging right. It's an absolutely superfluous add on that does nothing other than become something to worry about if there is a problem. Silly toy, nothing else.
