Patek Philippe Grandmaster Chime 5175R -

THE SOUND OF HISTORY
To pay tribute to its 175th anniversary, Patek Philippe created a collection of limited-edition commemorative timepieces, and one of them stands out in particular. It is the so far most complicated wristwatch of the eminent family-owned watchmaking companies and decidedly one of the world's most elaborate wristwatches. This is due not only to the number of complications involved but also to the horological degrees of complexity, two of which have been added to the annals of watchmaking for the first time. Moreover, the Grandmaster Chime is the first double-face wristwatch presented by Patek Philippe that can be worn with either dial facing up: the one that focuses on the time and the sonnerie, the other dedicated to the full instantaneous perpetual calendar. Changing the face is very simple thanks to the ingenious reversing mechanism in the lugs. It is amazingly easy to operate and firmly secures the case in the selected position. Incidentally, the information for which a watch is most frequently consulted - the current time and the date - is displayed on both dials. The ultimate in user-friendliness and safety is assured with intelligent mechanisms that prevent potentially damaging manipulations and thus reliably protect the highly complex movement with its intricate cosmos of tiny parts.
Patek Philippe's Grandmaster Chime is a wrist-format timekeeping instrument of absolutely unprecedented complexity and ingenuity that establishes new benchmarks in terms of technical and aesthetic elegance. Its double-face case with a diameter of 47 mm, it accommodates four spring barrels and no fewer than 20 complications, including coveted functions such as a Grande and Petite Sonnerie, a minute repeater, an instantaneous perpetual calendar with a four-digit year display, a second time zone, and two patented global debuts in the domain of chiming watches: an acoustic alarm that strikes the alarm time and a date repeater that sounds the date on demand.

They've given all their secrets away now - I'm gonna make one tomorrow.

[@largol33t1]

Might take a few months. I've been to their museum and the curator said some of the most complex ones they make involved over a YEAR of design and assembly. And then they sell them for a million bucks... The museum also has Rudyard Kipling's pocket watch!

[@axonoxa]

@@largol33t1 True you need a master precision and good hands.

[@JasonsAustraliana]

One of the most beautiful things I have ever seen.

[@mrbluethailand]

one of the best short Movies ever on youtube. uplifting and amazing.

[@anasbru414]

what's uplifting about it?

[@CoyotePark]

That was absolutely insane.... and the music was great!

[@crazyguy248]

The watch is a masterpiece, and the video was incredibly well produced. Above all though, whoever is responsible for the music + sound production of this video is truly a master of their craft.

[@xro1589]

I love watches, and watching the making of this one gives me goose bumps.

[@cookingprof]

A masterwork of engineering on the wrist. Only Patek could make a watch like this.

[@qaching]

cookingprof Rolex?

[@davidgarcia100]

OMG! Very very elegant, i love Patek Philippe! Thank you grandmaster.

[@rootsoftheland9040]

I love this video & the detailed work & focus that goes into the time pieces

[@npaul4171]

Artwork like this goes even deeper than the physical beauty: an approach towards perfection that is ridiculously over the top to such a degree would not be possible without passion, and if that type of passion does not characterize the human experience, I don't know what does. As a researcher involved in QA/QC protocol development, I have always wondered how Patek tests something like this. Certain functions of this watch practically require an astrophysicist to explain them...Neil degrass Tyson could narrate a movie dedicated solely to the various things this watch can do & why certain complications were used as they were. There are so many individual components on that watch that they could spend their next 175 years testing it!

[@porschecarrera3684]

This is such an extraordinary piece of art, absolutely stunning :) It will certainly blow my mind when I see it in person.

[@PegranHimself]

sneeze once, and you lost your job

[@rc9597]

No shit

[@DMAC2296]

This is a marvel of craftsmanship, intelligence, and beauty this is the epitome of master timepieces . Only if I had 2.5 million I would buy this in a heartbeat. Life goals I guess

[@Ishanamin]

In case anyone is wondering: The Patek Philippe Grand Master Chime ref. 5175R will be a limited edition of seven pieces, with one residing in the Patek Philippe museum in Geneva. The other six will be priced at 2.5 million Swiss Francs (approximately $2.6 million at time of publishing).

[@RobertoLopez-he5mx]

best part of the video 00:00-10:37

[@haydarhannachi9374]

Roberto López it's my favorite part too 😁

[@vxveleno]

Very very emotional video. I cry for this mechanical miracle of watch manufactory.

[@zacharyaghdaei9283]

This is the most magnificent thing I have ever seen

[@Mystipaoniz]

this is just amazing :o Incredible work!

[@DavidSylvester7]

aesthetically speaking not a fan of the case whatsoever, but a phenomenal achievement horologically speaking, love how they show you the care and attention to detail that's entailed in the process

[@kenchi7686]

I love the ink stamp. That was satisfying.

[@lepierrelpe1655]

Really amazing watch!!!

[@andygore1028]

By the end of this video I noticed my 5 year old daughter was also completely captivated by your worksmanship. She then told me she would buy me one some day. ❤

[@user-by6bg5eu6c]

Really?! 5 years old and already so smart and cute!

[@mcstyle24]

This video made my hairs stand up and gives me a refreshing shrivels which is nice!

[@TheLudeness]

A face of time sculpted at the hands man measured in time and patients and what a beautiful face it is.

[@bluetablepainting]

Breathtaking...

MY GOD! how beautiful

[@javipadilla9696]

Espectacular, una obra de arte.

[@bobby9124]

i'm not gonna cry

[@asieffhusein8270]

Such a complicated things to make this watch done, and that hardness make this watch costs a million

[@clinthymes5067]

Everyone loves art. Whether it transforming someone’s trash to mold a masterpiece or painting a Sistine chapel. This is as beautiful to me as the Sistine chapel is to some because of the art. Will I ever own one? Yeah right. I’m a civil engineer by trade and love to see how things work. I build roads and bridges that are on a different scale obviously but how they work is what makes me tick. I’ll never understand how this piece of art “works”. But damn it’s beautiful

[@user-by6bg5eu6c]

Are you fascinated in your own construction? That's cool.

[@taotao23730]

Piece of grand art .....

[@dheerajmangotra5977]

Money for art. But many artists who never get value for there hard work

[@luislazcano5563]

Hermoso trabajo....

[@220519722009]

Amazing!

[@lmcoopie]

Can you get it with a NATO strap? Just magnificent.

[@Ox5f3759df]

I've got it on a rubber strap for daily use

[@unwarranteddumbassery9263]

Ox5f3759df i traded it for a seiko 5 because it's more practical

[@claywilliams3812]

i wish there were more videos like this

[@jallalabadreturns]

Awesome!

[@emiltrifonov9520]

Perfection

[@nk2ti]

You have more engineering in this watch than a Rolls Royce Engine!

[@towrnghrybear]

I LOVE this time piece. It is wonderful to see a watch that wouldn't look like I was wearing a child's tiny little wrist watch. Heck, my wrest measures 9" around and I am very tall compared to the "average" 5'9" U.S. male - I was that size in junior high at 12 years old. Now, if I could just figure out how to pay for this beauty and be high enough of the list that they would even sell it to me.....:/

[@AjaySharma-ug8ti]

really nice

[@CursedheartMiki]

This is just unreal....... :O

[@saifa6359]

Fuck the watch, I want that pencil sharpener in the beginning!

[@yadder75]

)))

[@adv6464]

Well know that it's for 2mm lead used in clutch pencils. It's called the Gedess lead pointer and is made by DUX now.

[@saifa6359]

adv6464 fam, you just sent me on the wildest Google search to Google everything you just said.

[@PirulitoGames]

Impressionante

Me encanta como trabajáis la tecnología que utiliza is

[@sahitwahyu]

[@user-wp1ti4ub7n]

Нереально круто!

[@alchemistrose928]

i like the video but what kind of pencil sharpener was that in the beginning?

[@qmechkeys]

minor invisible imperfections: *exist* patek philippe: unacceptable conditionnnnnnnnnn

[@xg....]

Now, some people just do not understand what a Bugatti is, and why it demands $2m price, vs similar per se spec GT-R... but $20m for a watch is unfathomable!!!

[@nomansaeed9022]

NOW THIS IS FUCKING ROYAL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@TITAN3084]

So much more valuable then "stupid" diomonds. I could imagine the feeling, wearing one Grandmaster.

[@Confused_Carrot]

The fact that all that beautiful machinery is totally hidden after assembly, bothers me way more than it should.

[@largol33t1]

They should have put a mineral crystal back so you can flip it over. That way the watch face is protected and you can see it ticking.

[@heyzahthecoolkid]

*Aşık oldum saate*

Thanks god that I am not a watch maker ! Must be very tense working there ...

That's fucking beautiful.

4.20 blew my mind

[@Alagathevictor]

David Smith Why?

[@massive.dynamic]

i knew i wasn't the only one haha

[@gavincurtis]

It was pretty neat. Ironically, one of the simplest parts of the watch construction too.

[@largol33t1]

Hahaha! I thought the numbers were carved and glued on. Wrong!

[@avarmauk]

Well they sure took their time

[@eetan3702]

I love analog

Good

If this is not ALIEN technology.....what it is? Awesome

[@AiMXIII]

One day..

[@Limou551]

Mechanical watches are absolutly amazing and fascinating. Its a pitty that industry dont develop more this. Automatics should have more bigger power reserve and be more reliable, without need servicing.(fixing) so soon.

YOU ARE THE PAN 💯

[@rudywijaya1457]

[@user-gu3nq7kl6i]

Вот внатуре вещь!

[@roninovrendi6485]

8:57 watchmaker : "finally, you are born son" love this watch, love this video, love the music masterpiece btw, why they use IIII ? why not use IV ?

[@nguyenhuytoan18]

think different

[@llgselement]

roni novrendi its so the symmetry is better because IV is small compared to VII but IIII is better

[@gr8hax]

For historical accuracy. IV was recent, IIII was the original in time pieces (pocket watches)
