One thing I absolutely love about horology is the collision of beauty, expression, precision, and history; simultaneously connecting past, present and future.

[@cormacoreilly7120]

You just keep producing better and better videos. The way you make use of history, art, culture, music, science, architecture, scenery, food, drink etc and wrap it all in a watch or time related theme is absolutely incredible and so compelling. Us Irish people don't compliment each other much... but my God... you did an incredible job again with this video.

[@FeroxDefense]

I almost literally never comment on ANYTHING on KZbin. I preface with that to apply emphasis to the magnitude of my respect and admiration for the production of this video. Truly brilliant. Your channel is excellent, but this? This is exceptional. Thanks for your time, expertise, and vision. Sincerely.

[@robs_watches3882]

Please don’t stop making these videos Oisin, absolutely brilliant. You are so different from all the rest of the same old KZbin gang. The visuals, the music, the information, it’s great. 👏👏

[@muldune]

One of the best videos I've seen. It must have taken a lot of time and effort to create and produce. Well done, Oisin!

[@davidburwin5285]

You’ve done it again Oisin. Absolutely captivating piece.

[@axb9]

Your artistry and passion oozes throughout. The Galileo of the watch community. A pleasure to watch (pun intended). Bravo.

[@chiguyxi8992]

This is you at your BEST Oisin. THANK YOU for the thought provoking content!

Correction: Cesium-133 is stable. It's 134 & 137 that are radioactive. (looking forward to all you experts chiming in in the comments)

[@imtomaustin]

Wait until they start with the "duhhh a feather cant fall at the same speed as a bowling ball Oisin...." 😂

[@petequintanilla4237]

Oh yeah? I have a bunch of Cesium 137 and it's really stable. So there.

This must be one of the best videos about watches, time, history of time calculation out there. Well done man much better than other content we recently get from the channel

[@UncleFrankDrinksWine]

I watched a ton of watch content but this one is truly a masterpiece. Bravo.

[@deanjohnson160]

This has to be one of your best videos…actually one of the best videos I’ve watched on KZbin!!! So educating and informative,I almost feel Vindicated for spending 5k+ on a watch now. Please keep ‘em coming Oisin…never tire of the content you post!!

[@russellc7322]

Fantastic work Oisin, truly beautiful and artistic demonstration of horology. Must have taken so much time to actually reveal time. Bravo !

[@ScubaDrunk]

This video is an artistic masterpiece. This video demonstrates your ability, talent, class and dignity, that (unfortunately) certain others (you know who you are) lack in the watch world social media space. Keep up the great work Oisín O Malley.

[@jacquigrinter9428]

Brilliant, never disappointing. Thank you for all of your hard work that masterpiece must have taken to make. Bravo

[@daniell2217]

Idk what to say…you just keep getting better, my man. Thank you for sharing your art with us.

[@drloch]

Well done, sir. In the wasteland of Watches and Wonders videos this is truly refreshing and gives us time to reconsider why we have this passion. Keep it up mate! 🎉

[@thewatchapprentice3858]

Oisin, I always knew Time was an interesting subject, but you have brought Time to a whole new level, another masterclass of Video making, as someone mentioned earlier, you are an artist, thank you for your time and effort in making these videos for us, please may it continue

[@jarrodlee1506]

Without any business involved his content just oozes so much more passion

[@highdesertforester]

In the late 1960's I was a young airman at a remote site that depended on precise timekeeping. We were visited every year by a team that hand carried a cesium beam clock to synchronize our clock to the US Naval Observatory in Annapolis. The clock had its own seat on the plane.

[@johnnyringo4893]

Terrific video, Oisin ! ....It is really amazing to reflect on how your watch channel has evolved over these few years into a channel very often about watches, yes...but also so much more: cultural, historical, scientific, musical and even philosophical elements are often mixed into the equation. The photography is worthy of awards, in my humble opinion. These added layers make your channel quite unique, highly entertaining... and actually "timeless". Someone watching these videos 10, 15 or 20 years later will certainly be as entertained as we are now. Not a bad legacy to add to your achievements as a musician and producer. Nice job.

[@laikatravels]

Brilliant. Never even thought about how a watch works until now! What a brilliant production Oisin 👏

[@saulsaul467]

Absolutely Amazing content!! It doesn't matter how much money we have we can never buy time. I have parked a small percentage of my money in watches so that I can appreciate my time.

[@MrGMT1992]

This was a truly fantastic video. I learned a ton. I appreciate the pain staking amount of time energy and effort you put into these videos for us.

[@chadlampe4026]

This is a master class of a video. This beats the breaks off of PBS and BBC documentaries I grew up watching.

[@shivwit]

Oisin, WOW just WOW, I have been watching your video's for about a year, like you I have been fascinated in mechanical watches for about 5 years. First it was video's from watch makers , learning how they work and the history of time keeping, the invention of the Escapement, now well down the rabbit hole. This is your best work yet my friend.

[@doubledutch13]

Stunning cinematography Oisin, I was at Emsworth Saturday night to see the FS-1 and all the current ZW watches, its a science right enough, brilliant production, thank you.

[@invacanza]

What a brilliant video. The music throughout perfectly sets the mood of each scene.

[@corychecketts]

Stunning video! Your music choices are always spot on. Max Richter is my favorite modern composer.

[@orricowp]

Wow…for some reason this video made me remember the day I purchased my Accutron 214….I was always fascinated by timekeeping and all types of timepieces….I had the original Pulsar….and when I purchased a Rolex Sea Dweller ….well….finally perfection for me….. at least I thought so then. So many more purchases over the years …..this video really makes you think about the beauty of time…and timekeeping. THANK YOU! True artistry in the creation of this video…Well done Sir.

[@nick000002]

A beautiful documentary that reminds us of our legacy and the convenience we have all inherited.

[@watchwarrior8597]

Oisin, I would love to see you do a video about the Antikythera mechanism that was discovered only 120 years ago off of Kythera island in the Aegean Sea in Greece. I know you would knock it out of the park. Being a Greek I am very proud to know that my ancestors were the predecessors of the modern computer and the automatic watch . Not only a machine that could tell time but show the phases of the moon and all the celestial planets in the sky. This was truly a machine that was able to tell time and give precise data for many things important to the Ancient Greeks . It was truly over 2200 years before it’s time . Imagine if the Antikythera mechanism wasn’t lost 2200 years years ago and it was improved over the centuries just imagine where we would be today .

[@GuyVanderAa]

Beautiful documentary. A jewel in the KZbin watch world in my opinion. Thank you for this. 👍😎

[@lucagragnaniello8070]

Video stupendo, come tutti gli altri. I contenuti che carichi sono cortometraggi, documentari, piacere per occhi e orecchie, si percepisce tutto l'impegno che metti dietro. Complimenti!

Awesome work Oisin. Love the imagery and passion. Thank you!

[@Dani_Sinaci]

A masterpiece of a video!! I finaly understand how a clock works! Thank you Oisin!!

[@rabbit7726]

Your content is next level, this video has not only transcended anything any watch youtuber has ever done, your creative talents are well beyond any other one man band youtuber that I have seen. If I was selfish, I'd say keep it coming, but seriously you are are bound to move into the Producer/creation space where your talents are sorely needed. Thats my opinion. :). ps, how no one has mentioned the principles actually involved in timekeeping in this manner or at all, is actually insane.

[@craigwoolbert2443]

Mr. O Malley you are so damb talented. Another amazing piece of art! Way too go.

[@alicanturk7713]

I never liked to wear a wristwatch. However after this video, especially when he says “we wear them because of they are beautiful instruments,perfect mechanism on the wrist…” I started to love them ❤

[@heiner71]

These kind of videos are your best work. Well done!

[@andrewjames9963]

Thank you Oisin, what a educational video which I think most of us learned something. As always your film making is next level. Brilliant

Wow! Oisin, this is the most interesting watch/clock video I have ever seen. You opened my eyes, and now I understand. I believe a mechanical watch is the most amazing thing I can poses, beautiful and functional, a companion for life, and so personal. Thanks for a wonderful video!

Fascinating. Bring back Tomorrow’s World, I say, but with a ‘yesterday’ twist. Excellent video.

A most excellent overview of the history of time keeping. Thank you! Would have loved it if you'd been able to visit Pisa and drop in some shots walking in Galileo's footsteps.

Thank you for this. Used it as a lesson for my teenager who’s home schooled. Then bought a seamaster 300m to show her in person (not that I wanted the watch)
