I worked at Spam for 33 years, but never got beyond putting pig bits in grinder section. One day Gerald had a stroke and I took over adding salt for the afternoon though. That was quite advanced, but nothing to do with the fancy ring-pull.

[@no1fibersplicer525]

Gerald was my father, he had saved his spot at spam for me when he died. Then they informed me they had given the job to one of the young guys who had worked in the pig bits dept. I had all forgotten about this painful time in my life. Thank you

My Great grandfather (mothers side) actually helped designed the ring pull mechanism you find on all shoe polish tins

That's awesome. I have a buddy that is involved in weapon designs for the Air Force (he actually put the boot on Air Force One when Trump was in office). But his great grandfather was one of the main engineers to create the submarine. I love these stories

A very British way of poking fun at one of the world’s best watch makers without being disrespectful! Entertaining and informative, keep them coming guys!

[@alanmcgeagh3475]

The JLC skeleton minute repeater you showed a couple of years ago was very loud, very clear, and nicely sonorous - and a fraction of the cost of this Patek. Oddly, it used the crystal as a "speaker" which is where the Patek got the idea?!

[@thethirdman225]

You’re probably right. JLC have been described as “the watchmaker’s watchmaker” so it wouldn’t surprise me at all if that was the case. They have also made stuff for Patek in the past.

[@mrmagoo.3678]

Its the first Watch I thought of too tbh..You're probably right

[@j-dub8558]

Hmnn , interesting 🤔

[@idcook]

Love this format as much as the original. You guys working together, for one, have nudged several discussions toward the extremes of what most people regard as 'affordable.' Items between $200 - $1,500. Which offers appreciation of a watch’s qualities that might be overlook in lieu of being thought of as merely cheap. Thank You for doing these. - Champagne Taste with a Pint or Two Purse, Esq.

[@electronicengineer]

Regarding the "key-less Spam container", the ring pull was invented by Ermal Fraze, in 1963, in Dayton, Ohio. The idea for the ring pull came about while Ermal Cleon Fraze was having a picnic and couldn’t open his beer can after forgetting his can opener. I believe that all subsequent ring pull opening containers were inspired by the design of Mr. Emal Fraze. Fred

Frederique Constant is doing some interesting things with minimising the component counts in a watch mechanism. And it supposedly runs at an incredibly high beat rate…who knows where it will lead?

Guys: you should be in the marketing dept. of Patek! You’re teasing (build-up) us without letting us hear the watch, letting see it from all angles to make us drool. Merry Christmas, John

Ya know, I don’t think a $650,000 minute repeater is a game changer. That kind of just seems like the same game.

But this goes to 11, right? It’s 1 louder.

[@hillskee]

@@caerphoto Welp in that case I'm selling the house, car and my body for it. I'll be the only homeless person with a $650,000 minute repeater, but I think it's a fantastic tradeoff . Any advice on my future endeavor?

Maybe on their next watch Patek can use Advanced Research to make a dial that is actually legible.

[@sinankoramaz1791]

This is like the old top gear for watches, you have bits about the main content, watches in this case, and bits like this, which is similar to the conversation in the studio (conversation street in the grand tour)

[@photohum]

Love these videos. Keep them coming please

[@imafunnykido]

More of this please.

[@Runoratsu]

I mean, with the way they put an aftermarket wheel/rim on the watchface, having a subwoofer in the back is just the logical conclusion. Underbody lighting and a turbocharger will be next.

[@ridetheapex]

Ok, somehow incorporating a tiny snail would be wild. I suppose you could just design the flywheel to look like one.

[@jdiluigi]

I Love this and the original content. Perfect blend. Near perfect watch channel.

[@PhaedrusFell]

Just a quibble: the diaphragm does not "amplify" the sound, it only resonates. Meaning that it doesn't add additional energy to system, but it does sort of spread the sound waves out over a larger area. For their next watch, I'd like to see the back diaphragm actually driven by the mainspring. :)

[@5265vic]

Like a piece of Mica on an old phonograph reproducer

[@filip14528]

It could make more of the energy not get lost as heat

[@jjlad5037]

That was fun.

I love this show, the only suggestion I have is at the end to have a short non watch related segment where you can talk about anything. You can call it "out of time". 😋

I looked around, and wasn't sure where to actually post a question for the talking hands...er, microphones...so I will throw it out here, and see what happens. Q: most worthless complication? A guy I work with brought his late fathers Omega Seamaster to show me. Beautiful vintage piece! He got so excited that he decided to buy a new watch off a Grey Market site. Spent a lot of $ on a watch I hadn't heard of...thats a chronograph. Got me thinking: why would he, or I, ever want, let alone use, a chronograph? Then I wondered, "what's the most unused complication in watchdom??" Any thoughts? ...I it just to say you have it?

[@JBFire97]

Wonderful, more please!

[@sergeyyatskevitch3617]

Hey chaps, didn't it occur to you that the design of the dial works for exactly what Patek wanted to accomplish - waveguidingf and amplification. Here is a quick and dirty on it: the membrane oscillates, creating sound waves. Those waves travel backward (towards the backside of the case) and forward (towards the dial). Then, it probably has been designed, so the wave, reflected from the bottom, interfere with the wave traveling towards the dial to amplify the sound, which then "exits" through the mesh dial for you, and others around you, to enjoy. Sounds plausible?

[@BigJeezie]

Can you imagine Casio's advanced research department? They were making the sounds in the 80s!

The Chopard Full Strike employs a similar "crystal amplifier" concept, back in 2017!

[@tonymellor7979]

My favourite watch channel… sorry meant channel (full stop)

[@The_Angry_BeEconomist]

why are there no spring driven tourbillon clocks? if there is an argument for one in a pocket watch, can't that argument be used for a clock on a wall or desktop?

[@Gajoobles]

Defeats the point of it since it was to increase accuracy due to gravity affecting the movement if the watch didn't rotate much (i.e. a pocket watch). On the wrist it is also debatable because your arm is always moving so for those it is just because it looks cool and is fascinating to look at (and probably build). A wall or desktop clock it would be even more pointless in terms of accuracy but what about decoration? I guess that would depend on how big you can get them, I read somewhere 27mm was one of the biggest? Not sure I will look around a bit more, but if so then it would just be too small to appreciate on a wall, maybe a small desktop one yeah but good point.

[@Butik1]

Gentlemen, love your shows, sound of voice, knowledge. Listening to you is pure pleasure. I have just one remark though, maybe you can take it under consideration. Whenn pronouncing “Patek Philippe” you should change your accent slightly. Since Antoni Patek, founder of the company, was Polish, you should put stress on the FIRST syllabus of the word, while Philippe, who was French is accented correctly. So it is not pa-TEK phi-LIPPE, but PA-tek phi-LIPPE. Mr Stern pronounces it correctly ;). Great job guys anyway.

[@SkywhiteChannel]

Patek can kiss my you know what. I purchased two of their watches and when I contacted with a question they completely ignored my request. If Mr Stern doesn’t stress the importance of his customers to his employees he will completely ruin the reputation of Patek just like Rolex is about to do because of their lack of attention to the grey market craziness. Mark my words.
