The Automata Workshop of Jaquet-Droz

[@elisangelaregina2210]

It,s difficult to think of a finer more perfect marriage of art and micro engineering. Absolutely stunning. !!

[@watchestv-com]

You nailed it!

[@divyanshmishra3551]

Hands down, my favourite KZbin channel!!!

[@watchestv-com]

Nice to hear, thanks a lot!

[@aguspr3749]

No doubts, i totally agree with you.

[@rs666sathan666pk]

So it is!

[@HRM.H]

I love that Droz is still making automaton watches. One of the few.

[@gretek2781]

That flowers are Simply Amezing. Thank you for showing us. 👏👏👏👏

[@watchestv-com]

Very very welcome, thanks!

[@vikgomat]

HOLY CRAP!! That Child writing automata was one of the major plot points in Martin Scorscese's Hugo film... Amazing that its still in mint condition. Thanks for all the great videos man!

[@watchestv-com]

Interesting info, will check it out!

[@Jm4steam]

Excellent!!! Good to see the long history of this company. The automata are amazing.

[@watchestv-com]

Completely are!!!

[@timemachineeddie1146]

Amazing video. Amazing Automata Micro Engineering.Thanks for sharing.

[@ProfessorPesca]

This is incredible - I can't imagine anyone wearing such a thing but the skill, both artistic and technical, is really something else. Great video.

[@rs666sathan666pk]

3 videos in 3 days. These are good times!

[@watchestv-com]

I see, I see, we could do more i guess...

[@mahamza86]

WoW. Simply WoW. Cutting edge of that time and in a lot of ways today as well. Marvelous Video.

[@watchestv-com]

Thanks a lot, happy you liked it!

[@strobemachine]

I love the automata from JD, intriguing and classy! Thanks for sharing the good stuff :)

[@watchestv-com]

Always there for this ;)

[@manduheavyvazquez5268]

When you think that you see all Jaquet shows its arsenal and destroys our heads with greatest designs. Greatness.

[@heliaalves9062]

This is the most beautiful watch I have ever seen! I love the red gold version, with the red flower, my absolute favourite. Absolute perfection!

[@watchestv-com]

You have nice tastes ;)

[@heliaalves9062]

@@watchestv-com Way too expensive for my slim wallet, but at least I get to look at it :) Thank you for the videos, they are much appreciated.

[@jlromero4843]

Beautiful and amazing watches. Too expensives but it's normal when you see all work involved in them. Thanks for sharing this video and my best wishes to everyone from Chile.

[@watchestv-com]

Thanks a lot and happy to know that we're being watched in Chile!!! Best to you

[@warriordrum]

Very informative. I would love to visit that museum and see the original automata. Reminds me of the excellent video game "Syberia and Syberia 2"

[@ahh1180]

Love the channel, you are a complete beast

[@watchestv-com]

;)

[@SinnerAndSaint]

Not my cup of tea but indeed a very impressive achievement in terms of design, creativity, craftmanship and execution! Great work, Jaquet-Droz.

[@philrodriguez558]

truly incredible timepieces! wow !

[@abhishes]

What an amazing video!!!!!

[@watchestv-com]

You like automatas if I recall ;)

[@LutherWallander]

Jacquet Droz never fails to surprise me

[@watchestv-com]

Very beautiful brand!

[@danarief]

Magnificent content! Love it

[@watchestv-com]

Happy to hear it, many thanks

[@amintaslneto]

That's something we'll never see an smart watch doing. Thanks God for that! ;) Great vid Marc

[@watchestv-com]

Absolutely and will always remain magical!

[@ganchoganarev9907]

BEST KZbin CHANNEL EVER!

[@watchestv-com]

Thanks thanks thanks!!!!!

[@tessa3296]

Very informative and inspiring!

[@watchestv-com]

Thanks a lot, happy you enjoyed it

[@craigh5236]

Those people working on those watches must have the steady hands of a surgeon.

[@SoCalFreelance]

It's amazing those automates were created 250 years ago! It's like steampunk in real life -- modern technology adapted in 18th century ways.

[@watchestv-com]

Exactly !!!

[@bhargavapothakamuri4218]

Thank you.

[@watchestv-com]

Very very welcome!

[@davecunningham8476]

This lad was one of the greatest engineers in history. Pity he's not that well known by people

[@EDUTAMARIU]

Song is from Gramatik if Im not mistaken

[@watchestv-com]

You're right!

[@sonofthebeach5278]

Catia V.5 to design a watch, or an aircraft... at this level is almost the same! The challenges behind micro-mechanisms open space for innovations to be used in several applications! Jaquet Droz is unique, is the time alive!

[@ozaawaa56]

I often wonder what our world would look like had we not discovered and harnessed electricity... What amazing mechanical art. Personally my favorite brand

[@watchestv-com]

And can you imagine that these "robot ancestors" were precisely done without any of it; no electricity, no machining... All by hand and talent!

[@afarhan21]

Yep. Electricity and motors ruined mechanicals.

[@todd_vincy4710]

now thats ART

[@watchestv-com]

Absolutely!!!!

[@brianhinder3652]

Exceptional !!!!!!!!!!!

[@petersampson5202]

I WOULD love blessing my mother, Monica and my sister.

[@flyingphoenix113]

Does anyone know of any other watchmakers who have pursued automaton complications besides Jaquet-Droz? Perhaps other micro-brands like Roger Dubois or Bovet? I know a lot of companies make Tourbillions, Minute Repeaters, Perpetual/Annual Calendars, but these automaton complications seem truly unique in the industry. Any thoughts?

[@watchestv-com]

There really aren't that many, because they are simply very complicated to build. Here's a rather crazy example Richard Mille introduced a couple of years ago, really quite something: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r2fPdGitjtWcjZI

[@flyingphoenix113]

Thanks for the information! I was not previously aware for the RM19-02! VERY unique piece. As designers and artists begin to reach the envelope on what can be done with a traditional dial and traditional complications, I think automatons will play an increasingly bigger role in the high horology market. Van Cleef and Arpels is the only one besides Jaquet-Droz which comes to mind, so it will be interesting to see what happens to this segment of the market!

[@Kairosdex]

Mindblowing

[@peterk1167]

I would like my bird of choice if at all possible 😉. A Curl Crested Aracaris or a Collard Aracaris would be my pick since these 2 are actually family members in my house hold . I'm like you Andre , I would have no problem sporting a beautiful bird on my wrist.

[@watchestv-com]

Wow, you know what you want!!! You're super precise on this one ;)

[@redr2012]

Cool~That's truly Steampunk!

[@jemanamurti]

Hmm... I feel like I've seen that flower watch before *cough Richard Mille cough* :D

[@shafserious2805]

Imagine now how complicated the human body is... takes so much time to make and engineer these model to do things. Then we suddenly believe human creation came from a big bang lol amazing

[@micahferguson5721]

Ingenuity merits a genius.

[@watchestv-com]

;)

[@AmatriceBand]

Don’t know about these. Seems that it’s targeted towards Arab market
