Wow, the chance to meet Mr Philippe Dufour. I don't think the vast majority of people grasp the ultra complexity of making a watch from raw materials put into these great micro machinists... The price is correct with how complicate and dear I wish I could afford. Amazing documentary with one of the kings, he's an arc of information dying off quickly.

What a beautiful studio...full of machines and tools. Mr. Dufour is a charismatic person, no question. What he does is art. I imagine him sitting there alone in his studio, concentrated while solving a problem... ...then he glances out the window while big snowflakes are falling continuously... I can literally smell the pipe tobacco in my mind - a wonderful craft that sadly is dying.

I would give my kidneys to have been there. I love Mr Dufour and respect him greatly. His passion and dedication gives me hope that the tradition of hand made watch making will live on. His creative gift is extraordinary and so beautiful. I admire his humbleness, that he would open his home is amazing.. Once again thank you for this post I am blessed.

I love this! A couple of weeks ago I took a high end decoration and finishing for movements taught by a Swiss watchmaker and he taught us some Dufour techniques specifically on polishing sinks and beveling and it was amazing. I love Dufour and think he's one of the greatest watchmakers of all time. His watches are definitely the best finished watches EVER.

Must have been an interesting course!! And yes the finishing is just from another planet on his watches.

What a fantastic man, and he hand indents the rotor teeth too. Pruzisio (sic) I believe uses a team, it seems only Vatuluniian(sic) and that LLoyd chappie in the Isle of Man do the same. He is my favorite Emperor over the entire world of watches. Me little 'ole Blighty shows it's hand too at the summit, which is pleasing. I'll probably buy a C.Ward SH21 in homage. Oh to have been on this tour, I knew nothing about watches in me Swiss cycling tour days.
