In this video, we head to the Vallée de Joux in the Jura Mountains of Switzerland to visit JLC's historic manufacturing facility and headquarters. While I've often heard the brand called "the watchmaker's watchmaker", this trip confirmed the special things going on at JLC. Thanks again to Matthew Sauret, the brand's director of heritage, for showing us around. What do you guys think of JLC?

Small annoyance in the cinematography; the short one image cutaways interrupt the flow of the video, works better if you cut away through multiple shots or longer single image shots.

Thats what im basically saying. A tope a1 fake? Will be a long way from a rolex in accuracy and finish and still cost around 800 dollars. They are faking the appearance and the movements do not have the same systems in them even. Amd whilst yiu are here advocating for child labour too. There is some stuff that they simply cannot replicate. Ask anoyine who bought even an expensive fake. They stop working after a year or two. The little screw that holds a tourbillion has to be perfectly balanced in concert with the other three, its why noone fakes tourbillions. Seagull do make one at a very reasonable orice.. And its a good movement but it certainly isnt an automatic. Get a pocket watch amd just try to service it . Then come back and tell me its easy. Even those chinese kids need significant training amd oractice to produce rudimentary movements tgat will function for a year, and the chinese dont come up with manufacturing techniques, they copy.

There are quite a few behind-the-scenes videos of the JLC HQ by other KZbinrs. Adrian Barker comes to mind, but there are others. I agree with you, amazing brand. Just some unsolicited advice lol; I bought a Reverso during the height of covid without trying it on due to the circumstances, and it just didn’t fit. I sold it at a loss. Do yourself a favor if you’re considering a Reverso, and make sure it fits you. Square and rectangular watches are notorious for fit issues, as I have subsequently discovered. Good luck!

Congratulations to you and the team for putting together this fascinating film. On a side note when Notre Dame was damaged by fire a couple of years ago, although horrible, I immediately thought, what a great opportunity there will be to rediscover so many lost skills and give employment for young to learn from older masters that have not had a chance or projects with budgets to exercise their great skills for decades.

JLC Truly is and will always be the "The Watchmakers, him Watchmaker" I mean they have just such a rich history of making some of the worlds most beautiful and well made movements ever, their vintage repeaters were some of the best made and many companies actually bought them to use in their own (pocket)watches, even Vacheron Constantin used their movements and even Patek, that alone should tell you all you need to know. I have a gorgeous Vintage Jaeger LeCoultre A-10 Chronoflite from an old Navy war plane and a newer version used by Boeing in some of their aircraft, just absolutely amazing clocks and the attention to detail even in something as mundane as a clock for a plane is just amazing.

I had an affinity for watches because my dad gave me a Casio that glowed in the dark. He then later gifted me a TAG he bought in the late 80s to commemorate a promotion he had received. Those two watches are very meaningful to me, but I never really got fully in to watches until I stumbled on Teddy's channel; I guess I didn't really understand why watches were more than simple timekeeping objects. I have been enjoying all of your content ever since I found your channel, learning more and more about the art that is watchmaking. I am completely consumed by this art,and love videos like this were mastership is displayed (and are not so focused on the cost or status of watches). These types of videos make me even more enthralled by watches. Thanks Teddy! PS: I also took your advice about not rushing into buying any particular piece, but rather spend time saving for a watch that I truly want. I am hoping to get a Reverso and a Skydweller before I turn 40 (33 right now, so definitely achievable). Again, thank you for all your dedication and passion for this niche passion!!

@@JackoWillMakeLives-loveu you know how many brands don't have adjustable on the fly clasps? I gave up on that dream, yes Rolex has it but Rolex completely taints the watch world being used purely as a flex at my age and the ADs are ran like shit. Their movements are solid but not as specialized as a 36000 bpm 80 hour movement or a spring drive which yes I know not everyone likes. The movement in my SLGA009 is thin enough, it's not a pure dress watch, their evolution 9 collection reminds me most of JLCs Polaris collection and those are the types of watches for me that make the most sense as they are durable, and have solid water resistance, solid movement, and unique dials, except grand seiko is innovating way more than them in recent times and really making things that no Swiss manufacturer is making. I could compare their movement finishing to H Moser not JLC for 10k which is crazy for me to even think about. The polishing attracting scratches for me, I could care less, it shows you actually wear the thing and the second I got a few scratches on it I wasn't afraid at all to make it a daily wearer and scratch it up. Mine only really has a few bigger scratches on the bracelet. I hate when people worry about scratching their watch which causes them not to wear it as much, I don't give a shit about the value of it, I just want to enjoy it. I didn't get it because it I thought it was flashy and it's expensive, I got it because it's the best white dial dress it up and down watch with in my case +/- 2 seconds a month for 8.5k (what I personally paid for mine)! It's the most comfortable watch I've ever worn, if I really wanted an adjustable clasp I'd put it on a leather strap. And I don't care if it gets scratched because the real artwork is on the face and is not the case. That polishing under that crystal is incredibly reflective and glimmers beautifully with every outfit I've ever worn with it. The issue I have with it is it makes me want to also get the SLGA021 which is identical in every way except for that beautiful dusk lake dial. I shouldn't be spending that kind of money on watches if I was normal but it's the only artwork I buy and it's the only accessory I wear so to me it brings immense and incredible value. Heck I even met a Swiss guy a few days ago and loved comparing our favorite brands and the pieces we own and we compared JLC to GS for over and hour, not to mention he's been studying for half a decade already to be a watchmaker.

Even a prestige veteran like JLC opens their factory for a visit while Rolex is still a secret to the public, it's funny to think that Rolex with only basic movement has sth to hide other than their manufacturing cost is a tiny micro fraction of the msrp ;)

Teddy you are not only the best watch channel on youtube but among the best channels on youtube, the production quality here is easily on par with TV but what sets your channel apart is that the content is not created "by the committee" but by an obviously inspired person actually caring about the subject matter, well done.

Now this is top-tier watch reporting. It was amazing seeing the parts warehouses and organizing in previous videos, but for as many times as I have seen anglage and seen it mentioned and adored by others, never before have I had the chance to see it done. This is what watchmaking is about, not just hype and market fluctuations, the craftsmanship shown here is truly something to behold, and would I love to see something similar from other brands such as Zenith, A Lange & Söhne, or Vacheron Constantin. The only way these types of videos could possibly be better would be if there was some type of giveaway organized with the manufacturer at the end of the video, but that might cheapen the high-class feeling of the video haha.
