Time Machines

[@ronrry16]

It’s been 10 years, still loving this documentary!

[@harrystoller4147]

A watch that works like a Time Machine?

[@Doggieman1111]

Despite its flaws, this 30 minute vid has sort of become a legendary documentary in the watch industry. I find it entertaining and have watched it in full several times.

[@malthus101]

+Doggieman1111 Yeah, I just watched it twice in a row!

[@coldcarlsberg]

+Doggieman1111 yes me too. my 3rd time now

[@JCW80]

Agreed. After finishing it...again...I was just sitting here trying to pin point the first time I watched it. I believe it's been about four years now that I've consistently watched it again and again, every few months or so. I've probably watched this thing 15 times at this point. I just see so much of myself in all the collectors being interviewed...except it appears that I have a fraction of the disposable income. :-)

[@phmwu7368]

Felicity Kendal , Henry Dent-Brocklehurst , John Bardigger , ...

[@Doggieman1111]

Three years later, I still agree with myself ;)

[@Chida_o_0]

I wish there was an extended version of this documentary - more of the interviews...

[@grapevinelover1]

You and me both.

[@ianmedium]

I would love if you would do an update film with the same people. This video has become a legend amongst watch enthusiasts, thank you. It has to be the best video on watches out there!

[@catfancy1708]

I hope they make another one in 2021, still watching this every now and then :)

[@ARCHIELUXURY]

I think this video is very professional.... Nice music, great editing..... WHINGERS - make your own video!!!!

[@adolaminii]

Great Documentary, don't understand why people can't hear the dialogue properly with the music, maybe I just have good selective hearing, could hear every word crystal clear.

[@Doggieman1111]

Happy 10th anniversary to this video

[@likeris2]

the Best watches video ever. timeless

[@edison4eva]

Thank you for putting time into making this film. I really enjoyed it. :) No pun intended.

[@andyboy134]

This is by far the best documentary on watches ever produced!!!!!

[@Grizza603]

Thanks for putting this video up. One of the best documentries on watches and watch collecting I have seen!!!

[@paneraiferrari829]

24:38 Nice Jugs in the background

[@soniksmurf]

How much coke was consumed in the making of this documentary.

[@dpleja]

We need PART 2 of this!!!

[@harrystoller4147]

Is this only part 1?

[@Doggieman1111]

Enjoyable little documentary, would like to see it expanded to an hour.

[@Doggieman1111]

11 years later I still agree ;)

[@clapyourhandseverybody]

Would love to see an updated episode of this now. These watches values have gone up and up!

[@samadrid6321]

I must be ADD 'cause I like this video, and it has entertained me several times in each viewing. The passion for watches throughout and in all the people is obvious and fun to...... watch. I like the comment about men drawn to watches and/or cars. He's correct they aren't the best people on the planet and I too don't especially care for the type, making it ironic that I am one who likes watches but not so much cars.

[@lifes2shrt2dowithout]

Amazing video

[@paranoid9687]

wish there was more documentaries like this

[@unbelievableproductions]

One the best (first) wrist watch documentary ever, this is like Hodinkee's first Talking Watches episode. This is watch people documentary. Watches, Fountain Pens & Fragrances, are the Holy Trinity of Collecting.

[@DDWGG1]

turn down the fucking music

[@Animalkisser]

DDWGG1 I stoped watching after 5 mins. because of the loud guitar.

[@richcorner8142]

Watch this all the time. Tom needs to make another one!

[@z00h]

Great documentary but it seems that a 5 year old was in charge of audio mixing.

[@Michael-4]

I'm sure I've seen this before and the background music level was far less intrusive.

[@z00h]

Ah, that would make sense. I'm guessing someone did a shit job at downmixing 5.1 to stereo.

[@Michael-4]

Exactly.

[@amirdickey1]

Very Inspiring!

[@Doggieman1111]

@YuenVincent true, the mixing is off

[@harrystoller4147]

Are there any directions to build one all by yourself?

[@12345compaq6789]

Is there another show like this?

[@cameronwilliams7272]

Anyone know the watch at 2:04

[@SP-pn7xx]

+Cameron Williams Richard Mille Tourbillon. I don't know the reference.

[@davidcote8644]

I love looking at this video still today, But what I can not understand is why you got rid of the Zenith Daytona??

[@matthewdale956]

He was advised to buy the guy who’s probably just sold it 😂

[@DriveThruo]

The background music is soo loud that it covers the foreground narration

[@BAAAASJE]

great video!

[@ro1098s]

Hi, I wonder if you can tell me in what page you bought the Patek?

[@mountainhobo]

23:29 "It is estimated that replica watches cost the Swiss watch industry something in the region of $1.6 billion a year" -- That is complete BS. People who buy those $200 - $300 fakes would never spend tens of thousands of dollars on a genuine article.

[@seanlukecorroon]

So guys......? Part 2?

[@EVILSPAWN1003]

"The one watch" is now (after the launch at baselworld 2017) the 126600 Sea Dweller redline. Can`t wait for a mint 2nd hand one to pop up in a few years time

[@DeOmnibusDubitandum76]

The prices quoted for some signature timepieces here make you laugh now! Amazing bargains!!

[@jaranyachan4324]

can u tell me how to make a watch time machine

[@rudyelizondo1935]

This is a great piece of work with the shocking reality of perfection and the copy. The fakes will dwindle away but the real watches will continue as their owners continue to enjoy them.

[@unbelievableproductions]

Precisely, no one will take their fakes to have them serviced, that would be pretty embarrassing.

[@12345compaq6789]

Do you have any other watch documentaries to recommend?

[@mountainhobo]

Having watched this video my first thought is I should buy cheap Seikos for the rest of my life just so I would never run a risk of running into any of those people.

[@valebliz]

mountainhobo lol those diamond encrusted rolexes presented like high horology were pure shit

[@jacc88888]

Well said! This video reeked of bad taste.

[@lindsayhengehold5341]

Love time machines!

[@erikolsson]

Someone seems to have fucked-up the soundtrack on this piece with a lunatic horn-player let loose all over the track, completely drowning the badly recorded dialogue.

[@WildlifeMoto]

Hello from 2019 - you should have held the Zenith Daytona. Oops.

[@freshramses]

Great fun!

[@stevanz1]

This was good but I feel like it was too rushed, it chopped and changed at unusual places, it could have been such a great documentary if it was a little bit longer.

[@ScottyBennitone]

gold sub phuckas, gold sub! I gotta tell you!

[@UXXV]

I was really enjoying the music but then every so often the sound editor fucked up and you could actually hear the people talking!

[@oclvcarbon123]

great docu, absolutely loved it. Best part was when the guru said: "Watch makers today... I think they take the piss"

[@compguild]

These things are worth what the people selling them tell you they are worth, like they said at the end, a Chinese manufacturer can put something together that will look identical, be as functional, last as long, and cost a fraction of the price.....thats asking BIG questions from the high-end watch companies. What else, apart from their NAME and BRAND are their customers buying into ? Watches are a mug-fest. If you want to spend 300k buy a flat or a piece of our shrinking planet and do something productive with it. Wearing that sort of money on your wrist is just telling everyone you are a complete dick. BTW, Gold Rolexes make you look like a pimp, a drug seller, or a premier league football player.....none of which are nice things to look like.....really, grow up boys.

[@CoffeePoints]

Jeroen Speak "a Chinese manufacturer can put something together that will look identical, be as functional, last as long, and cost a fraction of the price", but will it have the same movement? Because if not, then you just missed the whole point of buying high end mechanical watches. No one buys these because they look nice and tell the time, people spend this much money for the insides of the watches, which is something the Chinese can't copy.

[@SP-pn7xx]

+Jeroen Speak Go to the mall and look through the case back of a Seiko 5. Then go into town and look through the case back of a Patek Philippe and tell me it's the same thing.

[@HenrikE81]

I agree, it is the same with diamonds vs a really good replica, or really any market. The main reason people choose the more expensive alternative is brag rights.

[@HenrikE81]

That is stupid to, just because a painting has a certain person paint it, the value goes up like crazy, even if it look ugly as shit. While the painting that is far more appeling to the eyes, just because it is produce by a nobody or is massproduced, it has low value if any at all. That is just stupid. We do not judge things by what it really is, but by other standards. To much prestige is the reason why there is so much overprice on this old tech. It this days it is just a jewlery that happens to show time, but even as a jewlery it is overpriced.

[@jacc88888]

TheMightyWill Yes you are right about the movements being in a totally different league to Chinese ones BUT I’m not convinced the people in these videos are as interested in the movement as they are in the branding, investment value and look/image of their ‘jewellery’ with these watches.

[@harrystoller4147]

Does it work like a Time Machine?

[@coolb359]

The music is absolutely terrible as in loud. It's so pointless to pump that jazz in the background when all we really wanted was to hear the frigging dialogue. Good show; horrendous sound editing

[@TheAmbSteve]

That gold Sub is amazing.

[@Michael-4]

Did they really need background music at all, never mind at an obtrusive level? Great documentary though.

[@JCW80]

Yeah, this film is really entertaining, but the sound editing is sloppy.

[@MikeBisney]

Good point!

[@Ryansrangereport]

@scdharley Not at all, my wife wears a Rolex Explorer I and it looks amazing on her.

[@maguraboy]

Well made movie with a high"coolness" factor.

[@PeterZandorff]

I like the background music. It almost made me dancing.

[@marktuyet]

I love mechanical watches but could never afford a collection of expensive brands. I have started a collection of vostok russian military watches that I buy from a guy in Florida on eBay . they have mechanical movements and nice cases and dials. Just knowing they are from Russia and mechanical instead of cheap quartz is satisfying. Maybe someday I'll hit the lottery but until then I enjoy my modest collection every day .

[@MrGrentch]

The Vostoks have an interesting history and their solution to water resistance was inspired. If a Swiss company had come up with the design they'd sell for bug bucks.

[@grapevinelover1]

Enjoy!

for the 7th time im watching this, STILL AS GOOD!

[@omegaseamaster300m4]

Love it RM Is the King

[@mrbojangles3519]

Bet he wishes he kept that Daytona. Is everyone in that video coked to the eyeballs or just weird?

[@matthewdale956]

Yeah the guru didn’t advise very well on that one, I bet he knew it was collectible 🤔

[@matthewdale956]

Weird and coked up🤤

[@Bert_Dundee]

Great documentry completely ruined by the unnecessary music. Makes it barely watchable at times. Repost without the music would be good !

[@ieroen]

Jesus. What an absolute steaming mess of a documentary. Tried to follow because it looked super interesting, but it almost gave me a headache.

[@dannyboydreamy9471]

I would blame the stupid background music.

[@mrvivalatang]

Jeroen V I think it's one of the better watch vids on KZbin! As an Aussie it's refreshing to see some British humour and banter in the watch game.

[@oclvcarbon123]

totally agree

[@unbelievableproductions]

The gentleman at Cartier took to offense Bolt's remark about slapping Cartier name onto a banana 😂

[@Ryansrangereport]

He makes it pretty clear why you should buy Rolex over the other brands. Nothing wrong w/ the others I've had them all.

[@dezzux]

I've never seen a 27 minute eyecatch intro to a program but I guess it's a first for everything. Too bad there's not a 60 minute version of this, since the watches and people seem interesting.

[@DavorManojlovic]

next time you do something like this, please, hire a sound editor. The music is friggin too loud 95% of the time.

[@miraclethehousekid9339]

@mandy 100%. I use my rolex deepsea for every day My hublot big bang ss ceramic at the weekend And my AP R. O. 18k on a hornback for going out.

[@NikonFM2n]

I've got an Omega caliber 9605 in blue that my wife got for me for our 21st anniversary. I sold everything,It's all I wear now.

[@NonSequiturism]

What a job!

[@o3q]

upload the video again sans the audio

[@harrystoller4147]

Is this about watches that work like Time Machines?

[@cferrel09]

I love my watch

[@stemikger]

When this first came out, I would have said, what's all this about watches? Now that I'm neck deep in this hobby, all I can do is warn others. The Rabbit Hole has no bottom. You have been warned!!

[@zokna]

Music is way to loud!

[@TheMoralHeathen]

Not a bad documentary, but the music was over the top and too loud.

[@redbird963]

If only prices for vintage Daytonas were that low now...

[@Will762]

He said 'scratching to get a piece of the HISTORY'. Meaning that those brands you mention have to invent their heritage in order to justify themselves. And he is absolutely correct. /watch?v=IOGlRNrdHQs talk by head of IWC explaining they simply make up their history in order to create an 'emotional story'.

[@blackjesus1026]

After I bought my daydate a few weeks ago, I realized I'm going to go broke on watches! I said this watch is too nice to wear to work, so I'm looking for another. I fear that I may have a different watch for every occasion if I can't control myself.

[@tomasinacovell4293]

I'd say buy good replica watches, but that takes a whole lot more education than simply buying a genuine watch for a few hundred times more at the very least. The Swatch Watch Industry is lying through its teeth saying that they lose 1.6 billion USD a year, in fact I'd wager it nets it in the millions a year and what it costs them is some maintenance of attorney frees to close operations down, and that those operations operate on the peripheries of their own overseas parts sources. The Swiss are totally full of BS, and everything they've been doing against watchmakers and the consumer proves that since this movie was made. I really wish it would cost them, I really do wish I could do something against their restrictive and totally monopolistic corporations.

[@LuxJewelersLLC]

Who is the woman watch collector in the early parts of the film

[@wristwatchreflections7356]

Felicity Kendal, famous British actress.

[@Spook291]

I think the gold Sub is way to loud for me and him. That watch will make him a "Target" just about anyplace on the earth he travels to even in his own city.

[@SlopedOtter]

I have a 2-tone sub and don't wear it anywhere, not only a target for theft but you're an insult magnet. I stick with an old no-date daily haha

[@lukemac2967]

"because we DIDNT put our name on a banana".. best put down in this video. ha ha ha... banana?! you fool.

[@sillydillydokieo]

@AlexanderM1962 i hate that, and it's a very common problem.

[@battlestart1]

I just realized the watch on my father's wrist is the Patek 5960!

[@Zomgson]

The background music is too load and intrusive.

[@Doggieman1111]

Come on you guys, while yes the audio mixing in this vid is problematic, it's still a fun, interesting and eminently watchable film despite its flaws. I wish the filmmaker had expanded it to an hour because it looks like there were interviews and stories that were cut short.

[@Doggieman1111]

9 years later I still agree ;)

[@martinblanklikeswatches]

Why isn't this a full length doc??? way too interesting for 27min..

[@846524162]

Great video, great information.... but horrible watches! I mean, gold Sub, is there any more blingy random watch? They didn't even mentioned IWC, Omega, Chopard... or Panerai. Watches you buy for yourself, clearly you don't buy gold Rolex for your own enjoyment, you kinda expect from everyone to recognize it.

[@DMSJagXK]

Thing about time machines is that you can only ever travel into the future, never into the past thanks to time dilation at very high velocities. That means anyone that is passed, you will never be able to say hello to again.

[@GustoTheGamer]

grand seiko

[@thebiohackinglab]

The music is a head scratcher for sure, can't hear what people are saying. What the hell were the editors thinking?

[@deiluxx]

half the damn time spent trying to separate the voices from the music !!

[@SneakyFoxZH]

The audio mastering on this docu is truly horrific

[@tombryan1]

timex is a big seller, they must be good

[@stanley-fghijk441]

I'm as onboard with this topic as anyone can be, but the blaring music loops made the dialog impossible to hear when it was playing. Piss poor mixing, people.

[@peterbradshaw8018]

I am impressed by the fake Patek I would wear it. I would buy it for 150 though.
