Setting The Record Straight With Philippe Dufour

We have a very special video to share with you today as we had the chance of meeting our good friend Philippe Dufour the other day who wanted to set the record straight regarding a few things that recently have misleading been said about some of his achievements.
I hope that now everything will be clear and it’s always a great pleasure to meet the great artist in his inspiring workshop with his family by his side.
All the best & Viva Watchmaking!

What a wonderful interview. I especially liked Daniela’s candor about the challenges and pressure of following in her father’s footsteps. I can only imagine how challenging it’s been, but I’m rooting for her success and happiness!

[@WATCHESTVcom]

Thanks and highly appreciated, good vibes there 👍👍

[@ihopetowin]

I agree wholeheartedly.

[@josephknecht4272]

One thing is abundantly clear, Daniella loves her father very much!

[@WATCHESTVcom]

And you got this right 👍👍👍

[@jayebirdjb7143]

I’m sure his daughter will continue his legacy. Great interview.

[@WATCHESTVcom]

Legacy is the right word indeed. Thanks

[@markjob6354]

*Philippe Dufour is without question one of the most courageous, dedicated, and exacting independent cabinauteurs living today. It is no surprise to me to see his watches go for millions at auction. He is an incredible watchmaker.*

[@dreoneful]

I loved when he said him and his daughter are working as a team

[@WATCHESTVcom]

Yes, very nicely said 👍

[@mrleomich]

All I heard was LOVE. The love of a man for his craft. The love of a man for his family. The love of a daughter for her father. Just love.

[@WATCHESTVcom]

Beautifully said, thanks!!

[@aminreviews2311]

Loved this. I hope father and daughter can work together for many more years to come.

[@WATCHESTVcom]

Us too 👍👍👍👍

[@SamWade]

Having had the privilege to visit the workshop and meet the man himself, I can tell you that he lives and breaths his work. He has perfected his craft and his legacy is deserved. Thank you again MAD and Mr Dufour... we're blessed to have an influence like PD in our era...

[@WATCHESTVcom]

Thanks my friend 👍👍👍 hope you’re doing great

[@thevalet2011]

Philippe and Daniela Dufour shows the realities not only of being a mixed family but the struggles being faced by an independent watchmaker. They represent a great continuation of modern watchmaking towards more independence and more representation

[@juleswild9498]

Beautiful! A strong story through and through. Father and daughter have faced hardships and have come out stronger. My greatest respect for both of them for never giving up. Seeing her stepping into her father's footsteps and carrying on the name would be absolutely fantastic. I wish her all the best and may the passion be a constant force by her side!

[@WATCHESTVcom]

That’s very nice of you, really appreciate your message 🙏🙏🙏

[@JamesAlexander14]

What a fantastic guarantee for the future of watchmaking. Philippe is THE master watchmaker and to bring his daughter into the fold will surely and hopefully keep the House of Defour in the prestigious arena of haute horology. Thank you for a wonderful interview. Viva la watchmaking! 🙏❤️

[@WATCHESTVcom]

Really nice of you, thanks sooooo much

[@CaskStrength777]

This is exactly the ethos I admire, respect, and strive towards in my own work. I have more respect and admiration for what this man has done and shown is possible than I have for most humans. I'd love to meet him someday, if only for 5 minutes. His daughter, I loved how candid she was about her position and the challenge. She will go so far, I can see how proud he is of her already. Wonderful interview from a man frank about the real struggle to really do what he has done. Nothing but respect for him and his family

[@WATCHESTVcom]

Fantastic comment, thanks so much 🙏🙏

[@tonylee-UK]

Outstanding interview Marc- thank you. VIVA DANIELA!

[@WATCHESTVcom]

Haha, good one, but couldn’t agree more 👍👍

[@MyVideosWillCalmU]

Amazing interview what a father to have.

[@WATCHESTVcom]

Oh yes, a master father ;)

[@TheGlobetrottingSwede]

Wow, what an interview! Amazing to hear from his daughter too. Will be interesting to follow her journey too.

[@WATCHESTVcom]

Absolutely, especially with her determination 💪👍

[@baronecolonna1387]

Le plus grand MAÎTRE dès notre époque Un grande homme, d une grande humilité et humanité. Je la chance de le connaître personnellement, pour moi un ICÔNE

[@WATCHESTVcom]

Quelqu’un d’admirable et une grande inspiration pour beaucoup d’entre nous 🙏

[@Blueb00st]

One of the best watchmaking stories I've ever seen. These are icons in the making. As a watchmaker the thought of my daughter taking over was precious... If only I could be anywhere near the level of mastery of Mr. Dufour!

[@fabrizioborghesi8906]

Il Maestro Philippe Dufour grandissima bella persona. Grazie per questo video.

[@WATCHESTVcom]

Grazie a lei per questo commentario

[@dudesneeds]

Please do more interviews with his daughter!

[@WATCHESTVcom]

That will come in due times ;)

[@zetoch]

Depuis ses débuts, WATCHES TV s’est démarqué pas la pertinence et l’authenticité de son contenu. Aujourd’hui c’est une grande joie et même un soulagement de découvrir avec tant d’émotions que la relève de P. Dufour est assurée de la plus belle des façons. Chapeau pour cette vidéo, et surtout longue vie aux Dufour en leur souhaitant bonheur et succès tant mérités.

[@WATCHESTVcom]

Ca nous fait tellement plaisir de lire ceci et je vous remercie énormément pour votre commentaire. Bien à vous

[@paulmarkel6233]

[@Javi_C]

[@WATCHESTVcom]

Many many thanks

[@Steveo15]

As a passionate watchmaker i have to applaude...this is, and will be legendary. The legacy will continue in the best way possible for the dufours and fans. Congratulations for that!

[@WATCHESTVcom]

Many many thanks, very happy to read this

[@pedroneto1641]

Wonderful interview and love that they are doing! Having her taking charge and carrying the legendary name is a blessing for all of us to witness.

[@WATCHESTVcom]

Very nicely said, thanks

[@arenbazerkanian9381]

Absolutely wonderful interview & inspiring for the incoming generation. Daniela will do great things!

[@WATCHESTVcom]

That’s very nice of you and couldn’t agree more

[@yiannismerianos]

Master watchmaker! Wise human.

[@WATCHESTVcom]

Very wise, seen many things for sure!!!

[@vaughanpearce3435]

[@WATCHESTVcom]

It was a great pleasure, thanks

[@dreoneful]

To his daughter don't ever give up as everything in life things won't be easy believe in yourself always

[@WATCHESTVcom]

And very true

[@MD-bm8gy]

Really amazing and beautiful to witness this. I'm sure his daughter will do excellent work.

[@WATCHESTVcom]

We think so too 👍👍

[@josephknecht4272]

Marc, you have outdone yourself on this one! Although I think it nearly impossible, my respect for Mr. DuFour has increased!

[@WATCHESTVcom]

Makes me tremendously happy to read this, thanks so much and glad to have contributed to your appreciation

[@paulodr33]

This video deserves a million views but somehow KZbin algorithm wouldn't even put it in my suggestions.

[@WATCHESTVcom]

I hope you will be right, but unfortunately it seems it prefers to promote mainstream things… time will tell

[@rarts2000]

Love the interview, so much more you to learn than an amazing watch maker, and his legacy that will outlives him by her daughter. cheers Marc

[@WATCHESTVcom]

So happy you enjoyed it, makes me happy 👍👍 thanks

[@JizzyNinja]

Daniela absolutely has our support no matter what she wants to do! Honestly wouldn’t even know what it’s like dealing with all the different pressures she’s had, but damn I want her to be happy and succeed - great interview, really loved the end.

[@invisible0truth]

This is an amazing story! This is an example what a modern watch manufacturer should have, a special touch! And this story It is soaked by human and family touch. I wish Dufour family best of luck in future. Hope we get to see new beautiful art creation from young generation.

[@hellotabasco]

Bravo to Daniela! and to Dufour as well! Cheers!

[@WATCHESTVcom]

😉

[@antonygolding1811]

Amazing man and amazing daughter. What a legacy.

[@eletrizuados]

Ohhhhh Philippe you are amazing man, father and husband and incredible professional! Amazing person, professional and I really could see passion in your eyes!!! Your work is amazing! Im professor in computer science, in special university... i'm tired of computer science area... Next year I want to move to Switzerland, be your neighbor, adopt you as my second father and teacher! I don't have my father. He's pass away and you look a lot like him. I was very moved by his video. A VERY, VERY BIG hug from Brazil to you. I certainly can and will buy a watch from you.

[@johnmoorefilm]

Wonderful! Please continue this series! The Swiss government should pay for these crucial historical films.

[@WATCHESTVcom]

Yes, but don’t worry they will never do so since they are sponsored by omega and then there could a conflict of interest for them… very sad and stupid when you consider what is at risk!!! Short term thinking for a few bucks…

[@JohnMirmanesh]

I love Daniella’s focus and drive. Wise for being so young.

[@mohammedwani8515]

Now I know how precious these gems are Because behind it were great men who spent their lives inside these small workshops Thanks Marc, your stories are great 🌹🌼🌷🌻💖💛💜💙

[@WATCHESTVcom]

You are very welcome, very appreciated, thanks

[@neilwade9870]

That’s a cool interview. Big smile on my face 😀

[@hardy3559]

I’m delighted I found this channel, fantastic

[@WATCHESTVcom]

Oh great, really makes us happy and welcome 👍👍👍

[@tockingwatches2377]

Great interview! Thanks for organizing it.

[@DingDong-tj9ce]

This interview was less about watches or watch making but more a life lesson and philosophical- and that's why I loved it- wonderful. It was about the human spirit, the loneliness of not having support when you need it, the selfishness of others when you are successful and the legacy one hopes to leave behind when you're gone. His daughter will need to be strong, she has a heavy responsibility on her shoulders- it is a blessing not a burden- although the path will be difficult, it will be worth the effort.

[@umbertopautasso7879]

Great interview! Thanks for sharing!

[@charlesd820]

Lovely video and a lovely family. I wish them every success.

[@spektrograf]

Much respect and love for legend and legacy of Mr. Dufour. Mad respect and 💪 to Daniela! 💯🚀

What a powerful and inspiring video. You will do well Daniela. No doubt in my mind.

[@WATCHESTVcom]

That’s very nice of you, thanks a lot

[@luisabellon5869]

Certainly the very BEST video I have watched on your channel. Extremely interesting, history in the making! Very nice to see a father passing all this knowledge and passion to the next generation! I got the feeling that owning one of his watches would be much, much more than just “owning a watch.” Keep up the good work!!

[@giuseppequarta7533]

Passion is Passion. Beautiful...

[@WATCHESTVcom]

and carries you to the highest summit!

[@Opal_Spectrum]

all the best for mr.Dufour and his family

[@Nefville]

What an incredible person. One day I hope to own a watch of his, it would be a dream come true. I like everything that he stands for and his watchmaking is second to none. I hope his legacy, his watches get carried on and it looks like it will.

[@WATCHESTVcom]

You are right, it's going in the right direction! Thanks

[@klickme888]

A wonderful and moving interview! Keep up the good work!

[@WATCHESTVcom]

Very happy you felt how genuine this was, thanks for this

[@finewatchclub7150]

great interview Marc André! from start to finish.

[@videochen]

I'm so happy to learn about this. To think that the Dufour legacy will be in the hands of his black, biracial daughter is stunning and beautiful to see. This is incredible history that shouldn't be. But I'm elated to know and see it.

[@eliopascucci4825]

Exceptional interview. Congratulations and many thanks.

[@WATCHESTVcom]

That's really nice of you, thank you so much for this, very appreciated 🙏

[@ramblr78]

Great interview, refreshing to hear some of the personal challenges and (occasionally misguided) criticisms they face as opposed to the oftentimes impersonal (albeit impressive) technical accomplishments of watchmakers in the unique world of Swiss watches.

[@WATCHESTVcom]

Yes, it’s not always easy and it’s good to remember this

[@ljr35]

Bravo. Thanks for this, wonderful to see a family tradition continuing. She is a remarkable young woman, and she will do more amazing things in the future I suspect.

[@WATCHESTVcom]

She has the best teacher on the planet! Best to you and thanks for the comment

[@ewhyte8059]

This was beautiful.Un moment d'importance horlogère. As she continues the legacy I hope we also see timepieces for women with DD on the dial as well! Watches TV surpassed themselves with this episode!

[@richardteevan4480]

amazing interview!!! Daniella carrying the torch... Congrats Phillipe on passing on your great legacy... Jealousy is rampant, so know it for what it is. We all have to learn, enjoy the ride, hopefully, all that crap is behind you. and she can focus on her work and enjoy life... Marc a great interview, you are unique
