[@noth606]

fariz ascariz you think most people can? Heck even if I had the money I would not put that in a watch. If I was a multimillionaire, I might stretch myself to something like a GS if they make something that actually fits on my small wrist. I like watches for the mechanical aspect but I never wear one these days, I used to wear a 1000¥ Casio when I did wear one, found it on a discount at a watch store in Osaka some years ago. Black plastic case, black dial, black rubber band. Light, actually fits and doesn't get in the way.

I learnt about A&Son in your “5 Open Dials...” video (even though I’m not one for skeleton designs) and now have the A&Son pyramid tourbillon on my list of watches for my own dream collection. I would love to see more videos of this watchmaker.

[@Grant5321]

That watch is absolutely stunning, but the thought of being able to see my fat hairy wrist through it is not enticing.

[@Busterkeatonrules]

There are plenty of people online, for example on Etsy, who can make you a cool custom strap with a bund pad. A bund pad is a piece of leather which goes underneath the watch, preventing direct contact between watch and skin. Initially used by the German Bundeswehr (hence the name) to protect the watch from sweat and the wrist from abrasion, there are also obvious aesthetic advantages. A watch like this would look epic on a bund pad made from some nice leather.

Before the fuseé, they had the stackfreed to supply regulated torque of the mainspring when it winds down.

[@AtheistOrphan]

‘I’d buy that for a dollar!’ Great watch, but I suspect out of my price range.

[@donaldasayers]

There is a well known to engineers. spring power that delivers near constant torque over all of its wind from fully wound to the point when it stops, the "tensator spring". Tensator springs have been used in clocks and the Baygen wind up radio, but has never been used as fr as I know, in a watch. The tensator, made by a company of the same name is essentially a modern version of the fusee.

[@howardjdownes]

@@barfymann362 I'm in complete agreement with you, you have excellent taste ! My favourite period is that of (approximately) the 1930s - early/mid 50s and I have a passion for Art Deco, Duoplan JLC, Reverso, so-called "Bullseye" or two-tone watches and of course Sector Dial watches. From the differently-coloured inner spheres and outer encircling dial faces and "small seconds" found at the 6 O'Clock mark to the beautifully styled Arabic numerals and even appliqué indecises, the detail and craftsmanship found in such watches produced during an era of excesses in poverty and wealth - the Great Depression, the Second World War and postwar austerity or for others, from the Roaring Twenties to Swinging Sixties, conversely a time of unimaginable excesses indulgences, I am somewhat obsessed with the watches of this time period !

[@KC93SE]

I have a suggestion for a future feature, perhaps a series or episode on Field Watches? I love my Hamilton Khaki Field Mechanical, and to be able to see other alternatives above and below this range, and especially your teams input, would be a fantastic view!

[@theonlyredspecial]

Their watches are so underrated. I’ve seen 3 or 4 now and they are absolutely incredible. All in house movements too. ❤

[@harleyboardman9873]

Another epic quality video Andrew!

[@imranchowdhury4972]

So what I understand it is basically two engines, when one runs of fuel another starts the operation to keep the constant torque. Then it is not only Arnold & Sons only but I had seen other watches having having 2 barrels of main springs perform the same task just without 2 separate power reserve indicator. Am I correct?

[@Cervando]

Not exactly. Others use more than one mainspring to give a longer power reserve. Compared to one big mainspring, the drop in torque and therefore accuracy is less for smaller springs. This movement uses one main spring to keep the other one fully wound, so it loses no torque at all, until the second mainspring has run down completely. Thus, for half it's combined power reserve, it suffers no loss of torque and therefore accuracy. For the second half, it suffers torque loss as normal.

[@stevefox8605]

Lovely watch, excellent quality video as always. Thank you. Seriously considering the Black Bay 41, any chance of a review of this less famous Tudor? Cheers 👍🏻👍🏻

[@Jynxedlove]

What if you combine a limiter like in the 8 day wind with a motor fueled by the movement of the arm (weight and air) to wind the springs, or even the secondary spring in this watch? My apologies if I misunderstood, but I am genuinely curious if it would work, and any corrections on my terminology.

[@lazyreuvin]

I shudder to think of the price. What a dream piece

[@TK-gz2sl]

Thank for yet another car reference. You explained it in terms that I can easily understand :)

[@msmith9563]

What if you make it if the spring wounds down the escapemant is making les bpm so the distance is larger on the hands so u got the same accuartie.

[@DirtFather407]

It’s funny this was my favorite watch 5 years ago so I looked it up out of nostalgia and you guys just dropped a video on it 💀

[@northscylla]

2:28 is the roman numeral wrong here? 4 should be IV and not IIII right?

[@luiskp7173]

northscylla It is quite usual to use IIII instead of IV in clocks and watches. Indeed there wasn’t a hard rule to write IV instead of IIII in Roman times, you can find a lot of examples around historical writings. IIII is prefered for symmetry in watches.

[@WilisL]

It's not wrong, but usually it would be IV. It's like comparing two different ways to write 4.

[@Bippy55]

I'm enjoying seeing new and exciting mechanical configurations. Q: Would it be possible to test exotic timepieces for time accuracy? Like measuring an "accuracy rating." With many watches now featuring two torbillions, I'd like to know if the technology pays off for accuracy. Or is it just for show. Thanks for a great series.

[@frankstevenson5013]

To follow up, you could do a video on Grönefeld 1941 Remontoire

[@Paddington2000]

Right, so based on what was stated in the video, that would suggest that an automatic watch would be more accurate than a manual wind watch, assuming the same quality of movement and assuming it's kept on your wrist, is this true?

[@wingracer1614]

The problem is he is completely wrong. That's not how balance wheels work. The amplitude goes down with lower spring tension but the frequency remains the same. That's the whole point of it. Watches would be pretty useless if this was not the case.
