Introducing the AgenGraphe, a radically new chronograph movement!

And here we go for another exclusive on TheWATCHES.tv with the first video sequences of a brand new chronograph movement with a completely different architecture than the ones we've seen for 200 years! Enjoy this video about Agenhor's latest creation after 8 years in the making.

[@batagor9]

this is what I am waiting for,,It's all about chronograph, but really complicated chronograph, looking forward to see it in complete watch,,

[@dallatorretdu]

I can't imagine how the hands go back to the local time afterwards, this is mental!

[@ernanijunior7963]

This is real horology! Behind our beloved watches are incredible people with passion, intelligence, charm, patience in huge quantities. Beautiful video as always, Marc André!

[@watchestv-com]

Thank you so much!

[@pth8888]

Amazing innovation of mechanical chronograph! This is what I have been hoping to see for past years, instead of regular dial design changes and material changes. This is really what horology is all about. Great video! Thanks.

[@ahh1180]

This is just an incredible achievement and I love these videos said it before and say it again best watch channel by far out there. Love from Sydney Australia

[@watchestv-com]

Very nice to hear, thanks a million times!!!

[@kennethtape3362]

It’s so nice to see innovation within the world of horology. I feel ‘honoured’ to bear witness to it all :)

[@brianhinder3652]

Amazing commitment. Amazing movement. Amazing video. Thank you so much Marc for enlightening the viewer to this amazing and fantastic solution.

[@watchestv-com]

That was really nice to read, but just saw it now only!!! Best to you

[@movax20h]

Amazing dedication. Amazing engineering, precision, ingenuity, complexity and beauty.

[@ElianaBenador]

Wow... Swiss ingenuity, creativity, and the mastery of the handicraft, beautiful and amazing. EB

[@watchestv-com]

You totally nailed it, thanks!!!

[@Bert6bc7]

simply AMAZING! such a beautiful movement ... greetings from sunny Mexico ! truly enjoy your channel, you always bring a smile to my face ... MUCHAS GRACIAS!

[@watchestv-com]

Cool, we like that!!!

[@carles_urena]

Wow! Amazing movement, it's incredible how some people can revolution a concept that has been there for so many years. Thanks for this video MAD. I love this technical little pills that let us understand a bit better this fantastic machines!

[@watchestv-com]

Hope to bring you many more like this in the future! Best to you

[@onewatch7750]

This enlightened me very much. Excellent report. Beautiful ingenious movement!

[@watchestv-com]

Cool, thanks a lot and hope to bring you many more of those!

[@gaysilnaubert6734]

This is really a revolutionary movement! simplifies, looks better (novel retrograde action), and is more readable to the wearer. Bravo!

[@watchestv-com]

The most innovative development seen in watchmaking this year!

[@markpercival2619]

Thank you. By far the best channel on KZbin about watches, horology and what's happening in the watch industry. I fear the cost of this movement is going to mean it's for the more expensive market. Maybe, if it catches on, and gets mass produced, it might make its way to the mid-market range of chronographs. Time will tell.

[@watchestv-com]

You're right on that assessment, but time will indeed tell, for now it will remain produced in small quantities.

[@strobemachine]

Fantastic! In your previous video, when I saw the space in the middle and that nothing was missing from a traditional 3 hands movement, I thought it was going to be some kind of romantic/poetic complication, an automata maybe... Never expected to see a new chrono architecture, really cool. I can't wait to see the watches! Thanks for the report and for always sharing the good stuff!

[@jean-marcwiederrecht3532]

Be tuned in March 8th ;-)

[@strobemachine]

J'attend avec impatience. Félicitations à vous et votre équipe!

[@digggert]

This is truly amazing! Great to see a company like this stepping out of the "shadow". I especially like that brands are no longer reluctant to admit which company their movements were developed by, but instead put those people in the focus and use it to their advantage instead of trying to hide this.

[@haelscheirs_haven]

A touch off topic, but I'd have to say that the thumbnail really caught my complication senses. Let's say I've been looking for a good horological CAD software having first desired Autodesk Inventor as a student. I initially doubted its capabilities compared to SolidWorks or a more specialized software, but if they could design this with Inventor, I have myself a winner. It's certainly quite fascinating seeing these new and innovative solutions coalesce into a beautiful mechanical symphony. I delayed my CAD decision and design work so I could focus on tooling up for my "wooden horology" project, but something as simple as a screenshot with the distinct Autodesk interface has inspired me to get started. This channel never ceases to provide me with horological delight.

[@stardust4711]

I ve never heard about this manufacture. Thank you for introducing them. In future I´ll keep an eye on them. They are amazing

[@watchestv-com]

+stardust4711 and we'll do a nice special on them soon, totally deserve it!

[@dartagnanx1]

incredible! Thanks for sharing this!

[@tapemaster8252]

always astonished with your videos, looking forward to the finished product!

[@watchestv-com]

+OG Wavy thanks a lot!

[@watchestv-com]

+OG Wavy thanks a lot!

[@ollianddelphine]

Just a fantastic design. Form, function and beauty. It makes me happy to see such engineering skill and vision.

[@watchestv-com]

+Ollie S still interesting and innovative things being developed

[@galja6889]

Great video as usual and fascinating topic of a radically new movementI must be honest though I had difficulty understanding itReminded me of a graduate level physiology class where the professor wrote a blackboard full of equations and at the end he said the only person who fully understood this was the fella that wrote the rtext book.I dont think this was that hard,but I will need to rewatch the. video a few times.Thanks again

[@kw.7142]

Thank you for another great video! Always learn so much from your channel =)

[@watchestv-com]

+Kevin Wang makes us happy, thanks!

[@davec3651]

What a beautiful watchmaker in the background there.. Uhh, and that movement is quite a looker too!

[@djangopat]

Incredible mouvement. Thanks

[@jordanlapointe8207]

unbelievable, your video quality always seems to impress me. when I finish my wooden escapement I will do my best to share it with you.

[@watchestv-com]

Great!!

[@jordanlapointe8207]

TheWATCHES.tv hello Marc, what do you think about the Hamilton Ventura XXL Automatic? and Hamilton as a brand? I am considering purchasing one.

[@watchestv-com]

To be honest, I don't know enough about this brand to have a sound judgement... Best to you and promise I will look more into it!

[@amintaslneto]

Wow! Love the innovation!! Wish Agenor was a timepiece manufacturer but it's known they prefer the creation side of the house.. Looking forward to seeing this amazing movement in action on some of the brands who collaborate with Agenor soon!

[@watchestv-com]

+Amintas Neto soon soon!

[@samadrid6321]

I'd never considered a chrono watch and now I have an Omega Triple Date from 2002 love that little watch it has day, date, month functions and the standard three subdials of a chronograph and it's waterproof to one hundred meters. I also have a 2010 G series black dial steel Daytona. The Daytona is my favorite watch.

[@stardust4711]

what an unbelievable movement what a finish. perfect like a datograph 😍

[@watchestv-com]

That would make them proud I think!

[@aguspr3749]

Totally awesome module! Let see which brands show this chronograph movement in Basel!

[@SoCalFreelance]

The cam system action reminds me of a mechanical shutter in older cameras. The collaboration mentioned at the end doesn't surprise me. Speaking of which, my everyday pocket carry includes a Victorinox Swiss Army Executive multi-tool. Comes in very handy.

[@Jasongy827]

Wow! Amazing!

[@watchestv-com]

Yes, something really new!!!

[@galacliva]

had a hard time focusing on the text with the Pretty girl in the background working on a watch.

[@watchestv-com]

We have to test your resistance to watchmaking rigour ;)

[@xtomzta]

thanks for YOUR time!

[@watchestv-com]

Very very welcome!!!

[@dominiklo9010]

[@neobourgeoischristum5540]

I like this type of innovation.

[@watchestv-com]

We all do!! Very inspiring

[@neobourgeoischristum5540]

No mistakes in the universe that's for sure, even time gets a needed makeover:)

[@cwxdaf152]

Beautiful movement. Must be a great job to have, though with my allergies, I'd be scared of sneezing the cogs everywhere!

[@watchestv-com]

;)

[@ahpadt]

Cool engineering!

[@mahamza86]

Great Educational video. A lot of information for us watch lovers. Thanks. Off the topic, can you make a video about your camera gear and lighting setup. Because taking your setup to various locations like that seems interesting.

[@watchestv-com]

Will for sure think about it, since you're not the first one to ask us this. Best to you

[@Poldax]

Awesome!

[@rafaellastracom6411]

Very impressive.

[@jfrschnell]

I thought "haut horologerie" had not much to give in terms of inovations. We have seen crazy things (HYT and the list goes on) ... bon... je tire mon chapeau a Mr. Jean-Marc Wiederrecht et a son equipe... Bravo!!

[@watchestv-com]

Indeed rare to see something as innovative as this!

[@BobbyDazzler888]

I believe the Clutch mechanism has diamond and nickel dust embedded on the toothless wheels that meet and grip in the agenhor chronograph.

[@ciscokid8866]

Brilliant 🏆

[@Moose-ez1oo]

Impressionnant comme quoi l'horlogerie peut encore évoluer...

[@watchestv-com]

Et ça fait plaisir!!!

[@firatyildirim2288]

If you want precision go for quartz :)

[@watchestv-com]

Sure or even you phone, but the not exactly comparable ;) Best to you

[@ianmedium]

Wonderful report Marc Andre, please be sure to point out which watch this movement is in when you are at Basel World. I am really looking forward to the in depth report on this company also.

[@watchestv-com]

Will do!!! count on us

[@martyyip9668]

I read this video twice and now I understand the new chronograph system will only have simply three hands to indicate the time and stop watch function by switching between them with a clutch system.

[@watchestv-com]

It's not exactly like this, the time indications will be placed on the periphery actually

[@martyyip9668]

TheWATCHES.tv I want to see it soon!

[@jordanlapointe8207]

at one point in the interview he mentions that fresh energy arose during the process come up my question would inevitably be: great who did you replace? group projects always go much faster after you remove the non contributors.

[@abhishes]

0:38...... what a beauty.......

[@Wytnucls]

The Lemania 5100 movement had the chrono minute hand on the central arbor already. The chrono hour hand was on a subdial. The watch still displayed the current time while the chrono was running. If I understand this movement correctly, the watch doesn't show the time anymore, when the chronograph is being used. That would be a shame, if true.

[@HRM.H]

I hope to see more brands use this movement. And maybe in some year i will also be able to afford it !!! 🤣

[@watchesaliswiss714]

hi marc its mi ali;u make only the best video of watches,..

[@watchestv-com]

Thanks ali!!!

[@karlmansson8319]

Ingenious! Are the hands showing time when the chronograph is not running or is the time shown elsewhere on the dial? Or maybe it is more of a stopwatch mechanism?

[@watchestv-com]

In fact the time is shown on the periphery of the dial.

[@rs666sathan666pk]

Impressive mechanism, although I got distracted now and then by the ravishing horloger doing her magic in the back :).

[@watchestv-com]

+scheven architect haha;)

[@SnowmansApartment]

at 2:30 the second hand jumps a little bit when the minute hand jumps.. it that what it is like at the end too?.. the second hand should definitely be optimized not to be influenced by the minute hands movement..

[@jimevans1809]

Not sure I'd call this a game changer. It's a neat trick. Absolutely brilliant craftsmanship, however. I am wondering about the longevity and servicing of the toothless wheels.future complication?

[@watchestv-com]

Interesting, will ask!

[@SnowmansApartment]

damn this is awesome

[@arnauda5311]

Incroyable, j'adore !!! Par contre deux barillets pour 60h de rdm, ça fait un mouvement assez gourmand non? A cause des frottements de l'embrayage horizontal justement? Merci pour cette super vidéo encore une fois et félicitations à toute l'équipe d'Agenhor !!

[@vivinopoulos]

On dirait oui, mais en général les complications ça mange un peu quand même. Et puis je pense que les barillets sont peut être moins performants étant donné qu'ils se retrouvevent sur le coté pour laisser le milieu libre pour le module chronographe. Enfin c'est juste une hypothèse hein :)

[@jean-marcwiederrecht3532]

Arnaud A Bonne remarque! Mais en fait les barillets sont relativement petits car le trou central prend un peu de place! En plus il s'agit d'une garantie de rdm avec le chrono enclenché, en marche normale la rdm est supérieure à 68h

[@jean-marcwiederrecht3532]

vivinopoulos Bien vu! le «trou» pour le chrono central prend un peu de place et il s'agit de la rdm avec chrono enclenché!

[@arnauda5311]

Merci pour cette réponse précise et encore félicitations à vous et toute votre équipe pour cet incroyable travail !!! Ca doit être un vrai bonheur de pouvoir enfin sortir un mouvement viable après 8 ans de travail, et quel mouvement !! Chapeau, ça fait vraiment plaisir de voir de belles innovations comme ça et des gens qui continuent à faire avancer l'art horloger !

[@jean-marcwiederrecht3532]

Arnaud A Merci pour ces mots chaleureux. J'espère que nous aurons l'occasion de nous rencontrer prochainement et que je pourrai vous montrer et expliquer le mouvement réel!

[@feelgeorge]

Do you know what watch brand will adopt this new movement?

[@kegluneqs1011]

I want this lady's job :)

[@danielkatz7516]

Thx Marc, how do you talk sooooooooo smoothly?

;)

[@apowers7783]

This is absolutely amazing! Thanks for bringing us these videos! AP

[@watchestv-com]

Very welcome!

[@douro20]

How long does it take to make one? With the level of hand finishing I would imagine close to a whole month.

[@DMINATOR]

This movement looks extremely complicated (understandable), I wonder how many components they have in total ?

[@jean-marcwiederrecht3532]

This movement is made of 477 parts! Thx for your interest.

[@zeitgeist9299]

Hey Marc, great video! Do you have any recommendations for a watch geek spending a weekend in Genf?

[@watchestv-com]

+Zeitgeist well the patek museum is a must, then plenty of boutiques, even for some quality window shopping!!

[@zeitgeist9299]

TheWATCHES.tv Thank you!

[@VentiVonOsterreich]

Shit, I forgot to click the bell notification I missed a lot of new vids

[@watchestv-com]

In that case you have plenty of new things to see ;) enjoy!

[@takasmaka820]

nice

[@punpck]

I don't understand ... To support the tooth-less discs there are discs with tooth underneath? What's the sense?

[@watchestv-com]

The disks with tooth work only as extra security in case of a violent shock for instance while the chrono is running. Best to you

[@punpck]

And what's the advantage of having toothe-less-discs? :)

[@rage8kage]

3:18 I knew it! They have a team of tiny people making watch parts!

[@Anama_7]

Man, I hope someday I can study about horology and watch making, but how sad ... there's no watch making school in my country, indonesie.

[@watchestv-com]

Too bad, but I hope you will be able to fulfil your interest someway. Best to you

[@DougJDoug]

What happens when you sneeze and all those parts go flying everywhere??

[@SnowmansApartment]

well worth the money 😵

[@marcgoodman4561]

Do we know where this movement found a home?

[@watchestv-com]

Yes, for the time being it went into the Fabergé Visionnaire kzbin.info/www/bejne/e5O3fHp3epmWjqM and into the Singer kzbin.info/www/bejne/d2rZf4Nrq6qJesU . Best to you

[@marcgoodman4561]

Thank you.

[@brunofilleti]

So instead of using 3 round indicators it will show the chronograph time like a day date format and jumping it every x time ? Or by pushing the button it will show the time in the chronograph and after pushing it again it will show the current time? Quite confusing for me

[@watchestv-com]

No, the chrono indications will always be visible in the center of it

[@jean-marcwiederrecht3532]

B Fil In fact this film shows only the central chronograph functions! Stay tuned, March 8th you'll understand better when seeing the hours and minutes displays ;-)

[@brunofilleti]

Jean-Marc Wiederrecht thank you for taking your time Jean-Marc! I can't wait!

+Jean-Marc Wiederrecht so cool!!

[@daddymo7387]

So do they do private labeling or they don't?

[@watchestv-com]

They have customer brands that uses them such as Fabergé, Singer and more recently H. Moser. You can a video we did about it earlier this year. Best to you

[@daddymo7387]
