There’s a lot of integrity here, appreciate the transparency of where all the parts come from.

Brilliant! Really enjoyed it, thanks.

[@StormRiderXtreme]

800 watches a year? 😮 That's dedication to your craft. ❤

[@edimalan14]

Please do more of these shows!!

[@johanvandersandt8904]

Great stuff Cameron!!!

[@kevindavis7530]

I own and love watches from both RGM and Weiss. Cool video.

[@mrdr9534]

Interesting, informative and entertaining, the trifecta :) Best regards.

We have the world’s greatest living watchmaker in the UK - the Isle of Man to be specific. That’s Roger Smith.

[@blisz2718]

Weiss with 800 watches a year is rookie numbers. Rogers team makes less than 15 watches a year 😂

[@Supercruze]

Great production. These two guys are true artists. Unfortunately, a dying art and not many willing to take their place.

[@doriangasseling]

Awesome stuff. That Leica M3 with the goggles didn't go unnoticed either haha.

Time is the most expensive "thing" in our lifes, the quality of time is just a perception, we all have ups and downs! Watch your time with your family and friends, travel the world and watch how time goes bye bye ✌️😎

Great work but ugly watches

[@yoddeb]

Lost art?? Makes no sense.

[@johanvandersandt8904]

There used to be many watch companies with thousands of workers in America. Companies like Bulova and Elgin and Hamilton. Today only a fraction of those companies remain. Much of it was made by hand and assembled by skilled craftsmen and women. These days many watches are made mostly on machines. Craftsmen like These two are very rare.

[@yoddeb]

​@@johanvandersandt8904it's not a lost art. The practises and methods are well known and documented.

Mechanical watches today are jewelry with a markup to match. Otherwise they would not be worth repair/service. The tool watch was long ago, decades. Many do not wear a watch at all especially mechanical. I wear a quartz virtually 24/7 on my wrist for over 20 years. The same watch. I would not accept a comparatively high maintenance cost mechanical.

[@johanvandersandt8904]

I too enjoy my quartz watches. Especially my Eco-Drive solar watches. That being said mechanical watches remind people of a symbiosis. It moves as you do. If you don't wind it it won't work. There is also that charm of a co-dependant machine that lives on your wrist. They are fascinating and complex and as you say not many people wear auto's these days but those who do clearly appreciate the craft and tradition.
