[@watchestv-com]

Many many thanks for this, we like the energy it gives us 🙏🙏🙏

[@SinnerAndSaint]

100%!

[@theselectiveluddite]

Thank you very much for putting this together. Ferdinand Berthoud is one of my favourite 18th Century makers and his work is always interesting. Cheers from Australia

[@watchestv-com]

A real genius of his time who contributed immensely to the science of watchmaking. Thanks for your comment and best to you

[@theselectiveluddite]

@@watchestv-com Yes he was. I'm privileged to own the workings of a 1780's Ferdinand Berthoud quarter repeater. Move the winding key 2 'clicks' on the fusee ratchet and it will start ticking happily away. I have to make a case for it though :) All the Best.

[@BabyJesus66]

Awesome video, I could have watched this for an hour. That clock is a beauty! 👍

[@watchestv-com]

It’s just incredibly satisfying to look at, a pure object of art with poetry and it used to be one of the elaborate piece of science at the time, totally mesmerizing

[@johnburgess6572]

Epoustouflant ! La régulation "thermostatique" est bluffante.

That marine chronometer is older than my country, by a year. What an amazing piece and fantastic video, really well done.

Nice perspective on it 👍🙏

[@lucianolizana446]

[@Mans1810]

Beautiful 😍 Thank you watches TV for the incredible content.

[@watchestv-com]

Very nice of you, thanks so much for this comment

[@garyboyle695]

It's amazing to think that this clock is over 200 years old and kicks modern day watches asses for accuracy.

[@watchestv-com]

Indeed simply amazing and a testimony of human ingenuity

[@beck4218]

1s/week?!

[@hugovel2717]

I know!

[@watchestv-com]

Yes, simply amazing and think where it used to be staying aboard ships and the conditions it had to endure!!!

[@-JohnGalt-]

Very impressive indeed! Check out John Harisson's wood clocks. He made one that is accurate within one second per month! All components made out of wood! If you like marine chronometers, I cannot recommend enough that you read Longitude by Dana Sobel. One of my favorite stories. Its about John Harrison and his pursuit of the Longitude prize offered by the King of England. Accurate clocks turned out to be the key to finding your precise Longitude at sea, and is still the basis of modern day GPS systems. Cheers!

[@FerdinandberthoudCh]

Your video really conveys the passion of all the persons involved in this project. Thank you for your amazing work!

[@watchestv-com]

Always an immense pleasure and a real privilege, thanks so much 🙏🙏🙏

[@donjuan150]

What a treat to see and hear about. Looking sharp with your MB&F!

[@watchclog2979]

mind-blowing! thanks for sharing!

[@watchestv-com]

Most welcome 🙏

[@duckbizniz663]

Great to see the inner workings of a Ferdinand Berthoud timepiece from 1775. The weight driven mechanism along with the detent escapement are an interesting combination. For a marine timepiece I was expecting a main spring drive. All the inner mechanisms are so beautiful to look. Their workmanship and ingenuity is a testament to the achievement of mankind.

[@vik4557]

What a remarkable content. Thanks!

[@watchestv-com]

Many many thanks for your comment, highly appreciated 🙏🙏🙏

[@mrandmrswheels1142]

Really enjoyed that Marc. Thanks for sharing

[@watchestv-com]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@007-i6z8v]

Magnificent piece of history. Interesting to see that clock makers back then made more accurate time telling machines that most of todays makers/brands! +1s/week, puts most quartz moments to shame. Great job Mark, and your team!

[@watchestv-com]

Thanks and indeed an amazing technical/scientific achievement

[@jeremyestevinho9425]

Magnifique et envoûtant cette horloge marine Quelle beauté Très sympas ton MB&F que tu as au poignet 😉

[@watchestv-com]

Cette horloge est vraiment sublime et oui j’aime bcp la porter ;)

[@fixtable]

Dude! ❤ You look great in your new frames! Nice choice GQ

[@Yalrick]

Really lovely, one day I want to have a marine chronometer in my living room. They just have a soul which you don't find much in watches made today

[@watchestv-com]

Totally understand you and getting one soon

[@watchnerds]

5:05 what watch is he wearing? Looks like a Tissot Banana but doesn't seems like it. There's no branding/logo on 12, fully lumed radium numerals and Mercedes hands... That looks cool! Anyone have any idea? Marc, mind to ask him what is he wearing?

[@watchestv-com]

Sincerely don’t know what it was but will ask next time i see him

[@watchestv-com]

It is an anonymous Swiss silver wristwatch from the 1920s, with a bracelet integrated into the case. Its mechanical movement has a cylinder escapement.

[@johnmoorefilm]

Just superb ! Please keep making these! I’d love to know if there are any of these machines lying on the bottom of the ocean?

[@watchestv-com]

There are a few sadly, proving the harsh environment they were faced with

[@christianpachecomedeiros8711]

Viva!

[@glidule]

Quel objet incroyable! Bravo à FB (pas celui de Zuckerberg...) pour financer de telles restaurations.

[@watchestv-com]

Absolument, entièrement d’accord 👍👍🙏🙏🙏

[@sotecluxan4221]

[@watchestv-com]

Thanks 🙏👍

[@snowver]

This is how you reboot a historical brand

[@watchestv-com]

Right 👍👍

[@mohammadjaved5326]

Nice thanks

[@watchestv-com]

Very welcome, thanks

[@khosimokhesi6273]

I mean... Just takes your breath away doesn't it? Where would one see something like this in real life, are there any examples in galleries, museums or are they all in private collections?

[@FerdinandberthoudCh]

The largest public collection is visible in CNAM museum in Paris

[@watchestv-com]

Many thanks for your appreciation, means a lot to us

[@contrnsmagnificndjoobngtaint]

accuracy of +- 1 second a week!?

[@Opal_Spectrum]

wow

[@shadimurwi7170]

Wow
