This Insane Chinese Watch Is Cheaper Than You Think

[@tbread1128]

The price is $13,5K if that’s all you want to know 6:57

[@Jack_the_rider]

Certainly not a cheap watch but the price is totally justified considering the amount of engineering and hard work it took to make this watch... It's a piece of art❤️

[@angelvalle9963]

America money ? 😂😂😂😂😂

[@gigachad3113]

still expensive

[@cdaack]

Love this for the watch industry; Chinese factories have the machinery and skill to forge Daytonas to almost their exact specs, but nobody prominent in the country has made an incredible AND original watch…until now!

[@andyc7724]

I like it, but it'll be a really tough sell at that price point. Not because it's overpriced, but because if I were looking to spend that much on a watch, I'd want to be sure it came with a long-term manufacturer's warranty and support, and was sufficiently well-known in the market that I'd have a chance of selling it again at some point in the future. I had a poor experience with Zeroo last year which highlighted just how important it is to be able to take a faulty watch into a relatively local jeweller to be fixed. There's no way I'd spend close to 10x the price of that watch on one for which the only service or warranty option involves shipping it back to China myself.

[@parmenides130e]

This is the best comment in the entire feed, and it nicely captures the entire problem with the current state of Chinese products -- great technical virtuosity but far from consistent or dependable reliability and customer service and nowhere near the track record of (the admittedly over-priced) watch houses referenced at the beginning of the video.

[@charliebad]

Love my open heart Ali watches, but when I buy, one of the reasons is that I'm OK if it fails within 5 years....thing is none have (àpart from one very short energy bank) so at what point do we say yeah, we've been kinda ripped off in the past and you all know it!

[@baxoutthebox5682]

I’ve found zeroo’s customer service to be great. What happened with yours?

[@andyc7724]

@@baxoutthebox5682 A few months after I received my T4, the winding mechanism stopped working. They asked for photos of the watch, which I was happy to provide. They then made it clear they thought I'd damaged the mechanism through abuse, and insisted that I arrange as well as pay for insured shipping to and from Japan in order to fix it. That's a costly and time consuming exercise even if you don't get stung for import taxes because you failed to tick some box on a form somewhere. For a while I wondered if perhaps I had somehow managed to damage the watch, though it's far from being the only watch in my collection, and the only one that I've ever had break. I couldn't think of any occasion when I'd carried on winding past the point at which the crown stops turning easily. After all, why would I? Eventually I realised it didn't really matter either way. If you're making a complicated product at this price point, and especially if you're a relative newcomer to the market trying to establish a name for yourself, you accept that occasionally things will go wrong. It's more important to look after your customers - even if one or two are a bit clumsy - than it is to save a few $$ on shipping. At the very least, even if you feel the need to charge the customer, you offer to arrange the courier through your own shipping dept who are far more familiar with the right way to send expensive watches around the world than your customer is. To add insult to injury, I could see from the comments on their crowdfunder site that I wasn't the first to have a T4 break, but for some reason I had to pay while others before me had been properly taken care of by Zeroo customer service. That left a particularly sour taste. As soon as it came back I checked it was working, then immediately sold it. I knew I'd never enjoy wearing it, always worrying about how fragile it might be, and what a costly and time consuming exercise it would be to get it fixed if it did break again.

[@ariantosetiawan9927]

This is an in house movement, behrens manufactured it and marketed themselves, zeroo in the other hand does not, zeroo uses chinese movement, and asembled in japan. So don’t expect the same quality.

[@redarmywatches_my]

Behrens is absolutely killing it in the avant-garde attainable watch range and we are loving it!

[@Aztec1050]

But it’s made in China it won’t last as long as a Seiko

Super cool piece again by this brand. I really hope Behrens have huge success because we need brands like this giving the Swiss some well needed competition.

[@TheWitchfinderGenral]

I like this, I'm also intrigued by the Apolar, Space Traveler, and Mars. It's good to see such unique designs that are relatively inexpensive.

[@abhikumar24]

USD 13,500 and Limited to only 200 pcs worldwide!

[@jonathanblanco3100]

I have been lucky enough to see one of these on the flesh. It is big, it is bulky but it is also impressive. I don't see it as a watch. It is a demonstration of what it can be done. I will keep a close eye on what they do as if they continue like this they will become very interesting. Thanks for showing us around Andrew

[@pauloalvesdesouza7911]

It's almost there, but not quite. Exquisite craftsmanship and (apparently) quality. As soon as they can overcome the existing prejudice, their place in the sun is guaranteed as long they keep being innovative and creative.

[@dannysimenauer5745]

Behrens' creativity reminds me of MB&F and Jacobs & Co.

[@pashow6486]

Well, no watch is really a "bargain", most are too expensive. But compared to the rest of the market, this price is pretty impressive!

[@hereb4theend]

How are they "too expensive"?

[@BabyJesus66]

​@@hereb4theendhow are they not too expensive?

[@adriancox-thesantjordigolf3646]

My casio cost a hundred and fifteen euros. My frederick constant cost one thousand four hundred euros and i'm happy with both of them to form part of my collection.

[@Chenxi_love_music_fairy]

This is another fun and creative watch. For a watch collector for fun and casual watches, I would prefer a wearable, lightweight and comfortable with lots of fun, especially with childish look and feel. A Swatch watch therefore is my most favorite watch.

[@wanmangeng5957]

The problem with Chinese quality is the wide birth of quality control. You could GET an item that would last for ten years, or 10 seconds. THAT disparity is too great.

[@alexito9213]

China is far and could I trust in good customer service? Then I remembered how many months I waited for a brand new JLC perpetual with misaligned day and date. Or the Lange where the Hand had fallen off although it was brand new and still unworn. Could it be worse?

[@dor-si9145]

What's the service cost and interval?

[@omarkabbani4002]

Behrens have released some really innovative pieces over the years. The Rotary series is sublime and if you're a Mazda fan you absolutely should get one. And it's a heck of a lot smaller and wearable than this one. These watches are worth buying to put in a display case and just stare at. Not all that practical but art has many forms.

[@appleratpipe]

Imagine being a mazda fan rofl

[@omarkabbani4002]

Haha the RX8 and other rotary engine cars have a bit of a cult following

[@ruffifuffler8711]

I would call it a museum piece, ...can't say it's sublime, just different. Like the coatings and rounded components to differentiate the look, but, to be beautiful, needs symmetry, 3 complementary colors on the skeleton, and an immediate eye performance register. In future, can see a hologram dancing on the lense?

[@behemothinferno]

I am all for such brands. Producing fakes hurts the original manufacturers and are terrible for the industry. Glad that there are such Chinese brands that are breaking the cycle of fakes and actually coming up with original designs. If I was on the market for such a watch but don't have hundreds of thousands to spend, it's awesome to know that I there are options in my budget. Hopefully more companies producing fakes will switch to creating original designs instead. There's always a market for high value pieces and this seems to be one of them.

[@JoleneLin78]

Am wearing the Behrens Star Trek watch now as I watch this and it is very exciting stuff.

[@patrickandkennafenwick3958]

Love it, but I can’t imagine what it would cost to service it. Gems at EACH link - plus all the complications. It’s gotta be a fortune. There are tiny screws needed for the iPhone, no one in America can male them anymore - China’s taken up all production.

[@silvaanosvs8783]

I don't know... 😐

[@youeverseethesehandsfly5334]

$13,500 is not a bargain to 99.99% of people in the world lol. Cool watch though

Great choice for a review, and what a design! It would be intriguing to visit the company- a human connection would go some way to convincing me to buy. Great stuff!

[@ifnyou]

Amazing piece, impressive even ignoring the amazing price. If my budget were anywhere near that amount, I'd definitely think about it.

[@junkyardog6621]

In 20 years time, we will look back at the Chinese watch market and those who own the standard Rolex will be dissapointed. In fact, I believe they will take over the market. Screw the richy rich and give me my clean Sub for less than 1k. And before those start jumping in saying it isn’t quality…..you keep on thinking that. Lucky the swiss are still making their own parts. When it comes to the price of them, the Chinese are much more efficient and just may supply the parts for everyone. Assembled in “x”. Time is coming

[@brotherandrew3393]

Not regarding the fact that I don't have so much money to buy a watch this thing would be too complicated to read the time for me. But I guess this watch is not meant to be an everyday watch.

[@notetec1]

I agree that it is not about the 'Made in...' but about quality, creativity and complications. I'm also not against China production, only about crap products flooding global markets. This is not one of them.

[@user-ym7zb9xl9k]

[@wololo10]

Another truly great job! Much prefer this to Seal watches.

[@HGSolberg]

Nope, you're wrong. It isn't cheaper than I thought. 🙂

[@chris555]

Ive been browsing Sea-Gulls & Stuhrling watches as it'd be nice to add a "real" watch from China to my small but ever growing collection. One thing that i can say about these Chinese watches is that they certainly offer value for money irrespective of wether or not they are durable and/or easy to service.

[@nickhayes4169]

I thought the same when I saw the Agelocer tourbillon. The men behind it must be applauded & I too felt a connection, I was also thinking about the technology that China have produced over the years. There's videos od their ultra modern cities & all the futuristic things in them . Bit what did make me think, was this. China ,ancient China were very creative, if you had a Ming vase on your sideboard you'd be extremely proud & the same goes for this watch. I'll have to save to buy one,but i definitely want one. Thank you China 🇨🇳 I can't wait to open my Tourbillon.

[@sylversyrfer6894]

Amazing watch! Great job, Berhens!!

[@gunnerman1880]

I have seen this before but not sure if it was you who I saw reviewing it but I enjoyed your review so I think for a collector who had that sort of cash to blow then why not it's a fascinating piece and would catch the eye of others for sure. A special occasion watch I think but I would love to own one personally as I'm into space stuff. But I think it's going to be a good thing that China are stepping up the quality I mean they pretty much have the monopoly on most things and soon maybe!! Watches next, I won't hold my breath tho.

I quite like their 20G model. My only "problem" with the brand is that they don't really have distinct style. They make impressive and special watches, but there's no theme or real identity and it makes them feel a little gimmicky. Every watch feels like showing off their technical skills but forgetting the style element. It's like a really impressive drum solo that goes on for a couple of minutes to long. We get it, you're really good at what you do, but we do also want to hear the rest of the song.

Disclaimer: This insane watch is cheaper than you think, but not cheaper than you afford.

[@daintiestquarters3411]

Comparing this watch to a Rolex or an Omega is pointless. Those brands do not make spectacular watches, just high quality watches, perfectly finished. You can compare this one to Jacob & Co timepieces, for example, because that company confuses watchmaking with a circus act. I think the Chinese are great for many things, even watches; their technological means are amazing. But watches like this one don't impress me at all. It looks like a completely unnecessary toy, rather ugly. Sorry but... 13K for a watch like this is almost a joke.

So yes…the concerns about warranty and ongoing service are warranted. I’m not ready to take that risk…yet. If they can produce this with great quality control and slowly build a reputation of quality, longevity, and adequately easy and reliable servicing and warranty work….and they make smart decisions with production numbers…then I can see the supply/demand curve shifting in a manner that’ll make people wish they’d taken the risk when these were merely 13k. That’s a lot of ifs that are based on factors beyond the control of the company and its patrons…but creating amazing pieces like this is a good start.
