3 Chronograph Watches That Will Surprise You | Watchfinder & Co.

There’s not a whole lot that watchmaking has to throw at us that we would be surprised by these days. Tudor’s P01, for example, that was close-but it really was only a matter of time before that unusual prototype was dusted off and wheeled out. What with whole watches being made from sapphire and dials with spiders in them, it’s come to the point where we’ve seen practically everything-and that makes the secrets of the three chronographs we’ve got coming up all the more surprising.

My jaw dropped when I saw the Roger Dubuis caseback

[@JTMarlin8]

Same, my jaw went down and my penis went up.

[@axln3725]

How I got divorced: I was on my way for buying a new house when I saw this cool watch...

[@SuperSsheikh]

haha

[@billclifton731]

That Girard Perregaux is awesome.... and I don't usually like gold especially when it's rose :)

[@AmarDamani]

Was going to say so...

[@timward9968]

I don't own one, but have been up close and personal with one of these and it is without doubt the most stunning watch I've had the pleasure to wear. And similarly, I'm not normally a fan of gold/rose gold.

[@LudicInterface]

I think the silk screen printing on the face is terrible. My Casio has more precise printing than that watch!

[@alex1.2]

If I had £100k to spend on a watch it would go on an A. Lange & Söhne not a Richard Mille

[@samuelg1944]

Second that. Richard Milles look like toys.

Jimmy I mean fair enough to you if you enjoy them but RM definitely attracts a unique clientel 😂

[@watchandspray]

damn straight. Datograph

[@samuelg1944]

Purnell Charles personally I would get a gold 1601 and keep the rest of the money. One can only dream... I’ll just stick with my bond seamaster for now haha

[@samuelg1944]

Jimmy Can’t go wrong with those, particularly the broad arrow. As we speak I have added a second watch to my collection. Just picked up a brand new seiko cocktail time (white dial) for just 135!

[@maszhiv]

Richard Mille is rich man's G-shock tbh

[@lifeoftennis1285]

Kamir Yeh...so shit of a watch it steals the purpose of one. You’d literally have to squint your eyes at it and keep staring for a good 5-6 seconds to realise the time. Also let’s not forget how disgusting it looks...hugest bezel that encloses a maze with thick as fuck lines and microscopic numbers. WTF Would all day any day buy an A Lange & Söhne over any Richard Mille.

[@WorldsWorstFishing]

That Roger Dubuis!! WOW

[@5thcrx]

I concur.

[@MarkFenimore]

Anybody notice what looked like corrosion on the Roger Dubuis small seconds hand? Had a rusty or oily finish to it...not sure what's going on there.

[@kellingtonlink956]

Impressive watches. Very impressive video and editing. I appreciate the smallest details you provide and your unique discoveries. Thanks.

What makes this Channel the Best, is the Respect U get for all these lesser known Brands. For example A lange & Sohne, then learn about Glashutte, selling their own watches. I know it's kinda flashy, but I do like the Roger Dubuis, very elegant Chrono ! Greetings to All !

[@17industries42]

Your videos just scream quality! The audio is awesome, the videos are shot on a very non-distracting background. I love how many facts and history information you include. These are honestly the highest quality videos on this site. Maybe can we get a video of just close up/magnified shots of a bunch of watches? However you guys do those shots so well is beyond me, but they are incredible.

[@TheGuitarBling]

Love this video and others. Any chance you could do a video on the Hamilton Ventura/Pacer?

[@ID-Guy]

I really, really, really appreciate the attention to detail of the RM's, but I just cannot for the life of me see the appeal of them. And I'm a designer (someone who should be all over this watch because of it's outlandishness) but it just looks like something you'd give a kid as their first watch in the early 90's (that preferably dispenses sweets)

[@sdemosi]

I struggle with them too. A Lange & Sohne are magnificent and beautiful but I just don't get Richard Mille. I couldn't justify spending that much on a watch anyway so I'm not their target market but I don't even aspire to own one.

[@murphym3755]

I actually really like the look of RM watches, especially the 62-01, but then again I’m on a bowling team and I order my hamburgers with extra pickles so my tastes aren’t really the most refined.

[@smashexentertainment676]

I can't grow any feelings towards Royal Oak or Nautilus no matter how I try. But after I accquired Franck Muller and had a chance to try out Hublot The Spirit Of The Big Bang, RM looks more and more appealing to me. Tho I'll never get one unless I become a multimillionaire))

[@dodo98989]

I don’t know how much the comments affect the next watch of choice for a video, but here are the two things I’d like to see most: The ultimate dress watch: ALS Saxonia Thin vs. VC Patrimony manual winding vs. PP Calatrava A review/overview of the Leica L1 and L2 watches Try #6

Richard Mille owners (and Hublot) are perhaps the most extreme examples of the fact that money can not buy taste.

[@wongtayu6468]

@@wongtayu6468 Glad we can agree.

@@GODOFLIQUOR LOL. Who cares? I don't care if they have a room full of Pateks. Milles, and Hublots are still gaudy.

[@dariusanghelescu2280]

Wath taste got to do with this?

[@murphym3755]

Fun fact: tastes are subjective and are different for everyone. What you think is the best may not be the best to another person.

[@decoybuilder]

What's the music used in watch finders videos? I love these videos

[@zivkovicable]

Not a watch person, but your presentation is first class, & now i do get why someone would be a watch person having seen a few episodes. I'm a musician & the combination of superb technical brilliance, artistry & adherence to tradition remind of the great instrument makers who end up with a large chunk of my income.. As an aside, i realise the Richard Mille is controversial, but i think it looks amazing. A rock stars watch.

[@l0rdcroissant]

had never heard of the first two and their history is incredible... now I find myself looking at wanting to own them lol awesome video

[@EricFra]

The Richard Mille looks like a road overloaded with signs...

[@Luiehond]

Awesome pieces!

[@badmatt]

Is there corrosion on the backside of that chronograph second hand..... I see some spotting reflecting off the edge polish on the hands of that RM

[@TheAnubite]

The JLC master chronograph looks so much like the Roger Dubuis Hommage in this video. Please do a comparison!

[@DeGoosey]

Can anyone please identify and tell me the name of the music track that is playing in the background? I have tried Shazam but to no avail. Thank you in advance!

[@dhuwdhuwdhuw]

is that a scratch on the top right corner of the RM 011 dial?

[@danowat4302]

Shhhhhh GP is one of the best kept secrets of the secondhand watch market, the prices you can pick them up for is (or should I now saw was?) amazing value.

[@fluffyfreak505]

I'd gladly buy and wear all 3 of those watches, amazing pieces, and beautiful.

[@richardcuthbert69]

Could you tell me about an old watch I have found? It's a YEMA CHRONOMETRE, 17 Ruby, EB Swiss Movement, mechanical wind....It's gold in colour and has no date window. I've searched but can't find anything on this watch.

[@tpark91]

8:56 "A thoroughbred donkey" 🤣🤣🤣

Under the macro lens it looks like the GP dial letters and numerals are a little blurry. The RM still looks crisp under the same macro.

too tipsy to say more than: thanks, fantastic video.

[@watchguy79]

Great job, thanks,

[@detospeaksluxury]

Where can I get the GP chrono, pure owned?

[@ivantan6197]

Didn't really get the RMs at first when i saw them online, but after doing what i thought was stupid and liquidating a chunk of my collection for a white ceramic RM011, i finally get it. It just feels awesome on the wrist and 99.9% will not know what you're wearing. It is a polarizing watch and obviously i would never pay grey market pricing for it. However, the craftsmanship and attention to detail is on par (or dare i say it) surpasses even my ALS Datograph. Sometimes, you need to have the watch in your hands to really judge that it is for you.

[@joshs3916]

Agree. Amazing piece. Congrats on getting it before the madness began 🔥💯
