Making A Watch At Frederique Constant

[@rgion29247616]

Do not feel so bad about yourself Ariel. It has taken me some 55 years of constant study and practice to be able to work on watches. I would have loved to have been educated in a watchmaking school mentored by a master watchmaker teacher. Unfortunately for me, my parents would not hear of my desire to be a watchmaker. Okay, so I got the BBA and the MBA and continued my studies. Never stop learning and practicing. Sometimes you will mess up. This is how we all learn especially of what not to do. This is how we all grow in our skills. Best of luck to you Ariel and thank you for a wonderful video.

A very classy company and a wonderful product. I am looking forward to my first Frederique Constant in December. Thanks for the behind the scenes tour. It was wise to choose a surgeon to demonstrate the technique.

What an incredible opportunity to actually go to Geneve and assemble a watch in a professional environment! I am so very envious, happy to see you had the opportunity of a lifetime Dr., this would be a dream for me. I do hope you enjoyed the experience.

Wow, one of the best watch videos I have seen. Great stuff and also gave me a very positive look at the brand. I have always liked their designs but now I know they are the real deal. This is the way for Maurice Lacroix and other newer players. Show your awesomeness and were you really push your limits with new materials, research etc.

[@ablogtowatch]

Thanks so much. We are pleased to share the experience with everyone.

[@ablogtowatch]

Of course. I've known Pim for a few years now. First met him while checking out DeMonaco pieces. Really great guy and good watch maker.

[@supremewhip]

Stop cutting people off when they're talking.

[@ablogtowatch]

Thanks. I love that Alpina diver watch. We needed to take a lot of footage and make something that summed up the trip. We have articles on this coming soon as well.

[@TimeIsMoney2034]

Ariel, this video is very inspiring and I can only suggest you do more of this with other manufacturers. I'm personally not too sure I would have what it takes to be a watchmaker, but I definitely wouldn't say no if I had the chance to have a crack at it. Who knows? I am passionate enough and would probably be a success. Keep up this awesome work.

[@KurzawaJakub]

Great video documentation, Ariel, waiting for more, sometime in the future.

[@celticpride]

Ariel thanks for sharing this video it was awesome to watch. How come it took so long for you to put this up? Love the fact that you wore your Alpina diver as a show of respect.. You the man dog!

[@buzzkilling]

Great video, guys! It's a pleasure to watch.

[@theluxurysavant]

Great video and what an amazing idea to have regular people build a watch. You really appreciate what goes into a mechanical movement I

[@renly2193]

dude, when i thought i could not be anymore jealous of your life. great video!

[@adisooni]

Great video. Wish I was there as well. Ariel, host more videos like this, you have a good manner about you.

[@ablogtowatch]

No, it was an Alpina Extreme Diver if we are talking about the same watch. Also... my wrists aren't really more hairy than the next guys!

[@Luvmyfishes]

Awesome video! Fredrique Constant makes great watches for the price.i have many watches but my favorite is the slimline. Very comfortable.

[@AdamMorin]

nicely done, gentlemen!

[@zsoca31]

Is the guy eating at 11:05 in the back?? He is certainly chewing on something. I was about to buy a frederique constant tourbillion. Please tell me their high end watches ar not produced on a taco

[@zsoca31]

+Rado Petsov I am pretty sure you wont be disappointed ;) But keep me posted, i want to know if breadcrumbs are falling out of it

[@TMike293]

This video managed to dissuade you from buying the watch, guess you never wanted an FC to begin with

[@mtaFTW]

This was a really interesting video, really enjoyed it. I have a question, what are some of your favorite watches?

[@daleschmidt7157]

This is a great video. I too think this would be fun, but I wonder how many watch screws I'd drop and lose in my beard?

[@mpking1374]

2:30 That's December in Geneva? I was there one December, and the weather was not like this at all.

[@amitfromisrael5006]

I am so jealous it is the best watch company in the world !!! love what they stand for!!!

[@b00nsmoviesss]

Ariel you know that Pim Koeslag is dutch and has a watch brand de monaco right?

[@williamhill7312]

I have been struguling with not buying a Bulova but they just do not have the dress watch I want. I want a classic 38 to 40 mm men's dress watch with a Swiss Movement. This video made my mind up; I had it narrowed down to Longines or Frederique Constant. I looked at both of the websites and I really like Mr. and Mrs. Gras' charities, attitude, creation of the factory and now this outstanding video. I'm with you Andrew, I could do that all day too. Frederique Constant for me; I think I want to visit Switzerland for my purchase. Do they allow factory tours? Thanks

[@azael831]

the modernized way of making art.

[@9eightFilms]

Did you get to keep the finger condoms? LOL Great video!

[@chuanjoo]

Love this video... Well done

[@spyman740]

Very jealous. What a great video

[@ExtraneousSolutions]

Great video.

[@piyathatt]

what a great opportunity

[@tomasinacovell4293]

That's "Wheel Train" not "Gear Train" for a watch or clock, "wheels to pinions, pinions to wheels" and "Leaves" not "Teeth". And you never pick up a wheel like that across, or astride its span.

[@sportquyen5505]

very nice watch❤

[@ablogtowatch]

To be honest the regular ones started to choke my fingers so I needed the larger ones...

[@BakersTaste]

I want to do this!!!

[@xUdieToox]

us of Frederique Constant to allow two average joes to assemble watches in their facility!

[@MikeBisney]

Do the same with Rolex and others....it was pretty nice Ariel....

[@LuizCma]

Excelente relógio, Brasil ok.

[@MikeBisney]

Ariel, was that a J. Droz you had wristed up on that very hairy arm if yours?...lol

[@b00nsmoviesss]

i knew i couldn't tell you something new :(

[@MikeBisney]

Opps, of yours...lol

[@thequackdealer8149]

Why are the americans spelling Geneve wrong?

[@mundotaku_org]

+TheQuackDealer the same as color and colour.

[@thequackdealer8149]

+mundotaku Or aluminium and aluminum.

[@4youk]

[@lemonjellies]

Trojan XL no doubt. :P

5min/day is back...

[@janicemcintyre5367]

the filmer/narrator is extremely rude. interrupting speakers constantly. Go back and start again with another person.
