How To Craft a Milanese Bracelet Or Any Types of Chains

[@douglarboy201]

This art doesn't have to fade away. I too love chain making but have no avenue to learn. If he starts a channel I will be his first and biggest supporter.

[@gregpost7396]

This video is very interesting. One of the most informative I've seen. I don't understand why the industry and country of Switzerland would let this great tradition fade away. Thanks for making this.

[@watchestv-com]

Unfortunately good question! Thanks for the comment and best to you

[@pustapustka]

When I heard that he was the last chainmaker, I felt sorry for all those unknown and underestimated amazing craftsmen who create beautiful and spectacular things (including chains) with ordinary pliers and files in their hands, not machines for several hundred thousand euros. Kudos to them!

[@Kpiotr]

My favorite watch channel just overdid itself. I never thought my jaw would drop to the floor because of a watch strap. Just incredible. Thanks for sharing.

[@watchestv-com]

Oh, that's super nice to read, thanks so much 🙏🙏🙏

[@SwissWatchGang]

So many beautiful bracelet choices!

[@watchestv-com]

They are!

[@johnmcdonagh1607]

Your scream 😱, me too 😂. What a wonderful craftsman. Thanks , Marc Andre 👍.

[@watchestv-com]

Very happy you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching

[@deborahduthie4519]

What charming, honest talented Artist. I’ll be giving these chain making techniques a try in one of the Lapidary Club classes, this year. Thank-you very much.

[@watchestv-com]

You are very welcome and thanks so much for your comment, always very appreciated! Happy new Year

[@ekaterinas.1330]

This was the widest selection of chain design, all in one place! Thank you for sharing your ideas.♥️

[@watchestv-com]

You are very welcome and thanks a lot for your comment, highly appreciated, very happy you liked it!!

[@Kusanagi_aoi]

It’s a shame. There used to be so many of them. Patek, Chopard and all these brands used to use them. Now it’s so rare. Merci Marc-André for covering this! It’s incredible!❤️

[@watchestv-com]

Happy you like this different one 👍🙏

[@danhunt9002]

Thank you for making this video. I am in awe. Laurent is a master, and so young. I want to make most of the chains in the video. If I can't find instructions, I'll figure it out, which will obviously be difficult for some. I have the utmost respect and admiration for Mr. Jolliet.

[@serapiopereziii3741]

IF Laurent Jolliet would put together a set of DVD's showing the chain making process, the art wouldn't be lost. Maybe there isn't enough interest locally, but on a global scale I'm sure there would be a market for the DVD's. Just the views on this video are currently at 72,910 views. I would love to see this art form kept alive.

[@MsJake199]

I love these fine fluid milanaise bracelets, hope his craft stays alive. The simple milanaise and the beads of rice bracelet had some sort of comeback it seems but they are mostly made in industrial quality but even they are fun to wear so I can only imagine how such a bracelet in handmade quality must feel in the hands and on the wrist...

[@watchestv-com]

Extremely nice, I confirm you this ;) All the very best to you

[@handsometoast5589]

I’d like to start selling chains/bracelets in the near future. Gold, silver, titanium. I have a Milanese loop Apple Watch and I very much want to learn the Milanese chain. Also got them Italian roots so keep an eye out for an Italian name brand :)

[@yahyamuamer1]

Hey Marc, definitely give him feedback to upgrade the website, I would love to see his work, get an idea of cost and timelines and maybe even design a necklace, it's tough when not knowing even the baseline cost

[@watchestv-com]

Will tell him so 😉👍👍

[@2.Panzerdivision]

I absolutely agree! This craft should be preserved. Thank you for this great interview.

[@watchestv-com]

Very welcome and thanks for the comment

[@ruisilva8954]

Chain links are my favourite jewellery type, I loved this video, thank you guys for sharing I would love to see more thing like this.

[@TheBelse]

I'm all about the internals ..i thought lets see one of the other artisan crafts which make up the whole piece ....and WOW ...just wow...i was amazed. What a guy. ..his work is immense ..like so many in watchmaking.

[@watchestv-com]

Thanks for the appreciative comment 🙏🙏

[@jenniferavenoso7162]

Absolutely gorgeous and amazing to watch the process

[@watchestv-com]

Thanks so much and very happy you enjoyed it! Best to you

[@davidvenegas6401]

Some of these bracelets would look great on a luxury watch. Especially with the hand finished polishing that high end watchmakers do. You'd think his business would be booming in Switzerland.

[@watchestv-com]

One would hope so, but bot really so i really hope things will go in the right direction, both for him and for the craft in itself.

[@davidwalker4386]

Love the video. I like making pocket watch chains, l would love to find the guide used in the making of the milanese chain. I have the mandriles and a hand winder. One can but hope and keep looking.

[@karloft]

J’adore qu’est-ce que vous faites🥰

[@alejandroquiroz3255]

Un trabajo espectacular y un gusto exquisito para lograr tan maravillosos diseños. Felicidades!

[@mohammadkooheji1286]

Beautiful Craft that should be supported to last .

[@Mr.wizard.mix.]

Благодарю вас я очень много подчеркнул из вашего видео.Дело не пропадет,пусть не переживает...только бы хотелось узнать,как делаются многоцветные браслеты, и на полукруглый корпус часов.А есче хотелось бы научиться и такой формы...()

[@eddstudd]

Hi. I am a goldsmith and I have always wondered how the milanese bracelet is made. Truly beautiful. I would like to learn how to introduce this craft into my designs. Now the fun begins.

[@Pindi44]

What a joy it is to watch a master craftsman at work. I will, in future, give the Milanese bracelet the respect it deserves. Great video, thanks.

[@watchestv-com]

Thank you very much!

[@sujeetverma7208]

Love this.. Please make videos of every chain... I want to learn..

This gentleman is a treasure. I always wanted a watch with nice Milanese bracelet. I wonder if there are watches that comes with great Milanese bracelet of this great craftsmanship or if there is any bracelet ready to purchase from him without making custom order.

He doesn’t have any stock since he really adapts for each situation

How do I contact him to Commission a piece of jewelry. Also how do I stay informed on his progress with an apprenticeship program. Would love to learn his craft.

[@andrewsoliveira1996]

There is any archive of the coin craft shown at this video !? Would be amazing if it’s possible to recreate this handcraft chain

[@richardmclean5913]

Excellent craftsmanship! Can he work with exotic materials like titanium? I see Citizen has their Super Titanium, and Tissot uses it also.
