Richard Mille..a plastic watch.

So what? Two completely different watches you can’t compare them

[@nicklevi5537]

RM, its a cosmetic.

[@superlameusername362]

When that yellow or green color catches someone's eyes, you can brag to them how much the watch costs.

[@RockyOwl]

F.P. Journe is one of those cases where "if it ain't broke don't fix it" meets a man that's like "I'mma try and fix it anyway". That among his charity, motivation to be involved in everything he does, and the way the Journe boutique's treat their employee's and customers all like family is why I will always love F.P. Journe.

I had the privilege to see this watch in person and handle it two weeks ago. All I can say is that it is absolutely spectacular. Sure, I'd have to sell my car over 30 times to get one, but it would definitely be worth it.

Please make sure you have the highest quality when watching the video... also the information you get about horology is great. A lange has something similiar with reseting the secconds hand

[@1D0N]

That moment where you read “tourbillon” and you just know you’re not buying this watch.

[@anno1602]

The "FP Journe" gave it away much sooner

[@Redonepunch]

“Heritage” is overrated. I’ll take a special watch from a special watchmaker over heritage any day.

[@vidurashevan1224]

Totally agreed💯👌

[@mantouism]

this is probably why richard mille is so popular lmao

[@jasondoe2596]

What "heritage" does is establish a baseline of expectations, which is occasionally useful for consumers. When the watch speaks for itself, and exceeds any possible expectation, heritage is superfluous.

[@JLchevz]

I mean yeah, but reputation isn't. You would not pay 100k for a no name watch brand

[@0brand0brand34]

I understand your point but can’t say I agree. With heritage comes expectation as well as ‘fit’ in terms of what that brand and its heritage stands for. It means that where a brand with heritage does something different, it is forgiven if not quite the best. Like how BMWs heritage centres around compact sports saloons, but people will buy the 7 series and forgive it for not being the best limo all round (the S-Class). Lexus tried to muscle in and scientifically did all the limo things - quietness, comfyness, etc - better than both 7 and S-Class but it’s lack of heritage was its downfall.

[@andrewlawson3694]

I've been buying & selling watches for decades privately without knowing much about there history & inner workings. Your videos give such detail & insight at 77 I am now able to appreciate their history & complexity. So perhaps you can teach an old dog new tricks ?

The narration, use of language, the simple uncluttered elegance of your videos keep me addicted to reviews by Watchfinder & Co. Briiliant!!

[@richarddavis7548]

As usual, another fabulous video and this time about my favorite brand. I have had the pleasure to meet FP in person and even have dinner with him. He was extremely pleasant but the language barrier did not allow for real communication and perhaps that is why he seems distant. Next time, I am bringing my French speaking friend to help me communicate!

Can I ask you to make your videos available in 1440p? Currently 1080p is the maximum you offer. You camera work is so amazing, so detailed, so incredible that you'd really make my day if you offered higher definition. That and 1440p (2560x1440) resolution monitors are becoming very common these days.

[@lucioledizerot196]

JLC has the Gyrotourbillon, and brands such as Greubel Forsey have inclined tourbillons. FP isn't the only one having cracked that problem.

[@andikappradana]

If it so, then you have to mention Grand Seiko with its Spring Drive movement

[@thewristwatchexperience8153]

Great back story and explanation of this special timepiece

[@thisisbadstuff]

A tourbillon is ineffective when it's oriented horizontally. How often does a watch find itself laying flat in daily wear if you set it down on its side at bed time? How does having it in this configuration help at all? I would say it even exacerbates the problem by orientating the balance horizontally in the crown left position -- the position best associated with a wearer sitting(which is a good part of a day for many people), arm rested on arm rest, lap, or desk.

[@noice9709]

Thanks for this education in horology! Neat watch strap attachment curving around the dial like that! A perfect blend of art + science.

[@noice9709]

Pocket watches riding upright when worn so that that the escapement is always vertical, and using the jar of honey analogy, the honey will evenly coat the edge of the glass as it spins; however, when this watch is worn with the hand down at one's side, the escapement will be horizontal and the honey will fall to the bottom of the jar. I think the only way to have a tourbillon work at all angles/positions is to have it pivot a full 360 degrees such that the escapement is always vertical no matter which way you tilt or rest the watch.

I wouldn't wear it because the second hand doesn't sweep 😂😂😂 This thing is just epic, as your videos always are! Tnx!

[@DavidDatura]

But in the end is this particular watch anymore accurate than the best mechanical movements from Omega and Rolex? I doubt it. I think this watch is more about the journey than the result, to put it politely.

[@herbhandyman8933]

I think it about the 'Journe'. A Casio will give you the time. This is engineering as sculpture.

[@geo40211]

Wonderful..as expected..a true poetry for a contemporary Breguet (and Berthoud?) genius. Thank you, Watchfinder!!

[@dvl973]

One thing I see as a potential problem... I often wear watches and most of the time the face of the watch is not parallel to the floor but rather the position of my wrist is facing it away from my body so actually the watch face is perpendicular to the floor, either when I'm holding something, or talking and gesticulating, or when my hands are just resting at my sides. In all of these cases the tourbillon is actually more useful in a traditional watch than this watch (when they're in use) because actually being used on the wrist, they spend more time being perpendicular to the ground. Of course storing them would mean to hang them off of something or having them be on their side, but that's easier than having your wrist and watchface constantly parallel to the ground 🤷🏼‍♂️
