Wife Said "Buy What YOU WANT"...So I Bought This Watch

Recently on a trip to Noosa, I dropped in to visit and finally meet face to face with Peter from Define Watches .
My intentions were to purchase a German watch...namely Sinn, Muhle Glashutte or even a Hanhart.
As soon as I saw this D. Dornblüth & Sohn watch, I completely forgot why I was there....I fell in love with this watch instantly and could not get it out of my mind for so many days

Watch featured : D. Dornblüth & Sohn 99.1 Ceramic Sea

Thanks for watching..

[@AndrewMorganWatches]

Congratulations on the amazing watch, and thank you for the shoutout ❤

[@PeterKotsa]

Thank you for planting a seed in my heart many years ago with your video Andrew 🙏

[@europaexplorer1]

I think I know this watch though Andrew’s video and it has become a grail watch for me ❤

[@curt4930]

Great review Peter, it was brilliant to meet you both at Define thanks for taking the time to come back for a meet & greet,very much appreciated. It’s absolutely clear that the Dornbluth decision was the right one,the smile hasn’t faded! Good advice to all of us watch tragics about buying what speaks to you,it is a stunning time piece,well done.

[@PeterKotsa]

Thanks Curt, yeah it was great meeting you too brother. I pulled the trigger in the end and I think it was the right choice for me..so pleased 😊

[@jono493]

Have had my Dornbluth & Sohn for about 3 years.... It is an incredible watch and completely unique to me and a watch that will never be sold whatever the circumstances. The experience of ordering and the personal touches are unlike anyone else, i still even get a Christmas card every year. I will definately be ordering from them again and as for videos like this I have mixed feelings - I wish them success but like it being a secret

[@PeterKotsa]

My sentiments exactly...but I was compelled to share my journey 😊 Hopefully the prices stay within reach in the coming years

[@ID-Guy]

Brilliant as always Peter! Thank you for sharing this and I hope you're having a wonderful Easter, brother 🥃

[@PeterKotsa]

Thanks! You too brother 🥃🇦🇺

[@chca4768]

Congrats Peter. This is a stunningly beautiful watch both inside and out. Well deserved.

[@PheasantPluckersMate]

Absolutely stunning piece Peter - a real gem! Happy for you!!

[@chrisbluma7942]

You can tell it's a thoughtfully made piece when even the box is brilliant. Love that viewing window.

I purchased a Sinn 104 from Peter from Define watches and had nothing but great customer service! Congratulations mate it’s gorgeous!

[@Unknown-zs9sx]

Moral of the Lesson: Its a blessing to have a partner who understands you!

[@UltraDoug]

Gosh, Peter. I’ve wanted a Dornbluth for years. I have to say, this one just checks ALL the boxes doesn’t it? That dial, that case, that movement and that in house craftsmanship. You have to have the right wrist to handle it (and you do) but beyond that, it’s darn near perfection. Congrats, brother and enjoy. Also, your wife…😎👍🏼

[@PeterKotsa]

Yeah it was the right fit for me for sure..also being in the right shop at the right time helped 😊

[@brandtl1486]

That watch is exactly what, if I had to put a lot of money on a timepiece, I would buy. It is exactly what I think a watch should be. Legible. Gorgeous dial. Leather strap. Elegant layout. Symmetry. Stunner.

[@tiderider]

This is the best watch video I've seen in forever. True passion. Beautiful timepiece. I wish you many years enjoying this watch.

[@PeterKotsa]

Thank you for sharing, glad you enjoyed the video, I also enjoyed making it

[@Robert32064]

I wish to send my most sincere compliments for the sentiment you express about your wife. You seem to be a very fortunate couple. Best to you both.

[@nintendokings]

Stunning! As you say $13k AUD is a bargain for what it is. That money gets you a basic mass-produced luxury watch from omega or Rolex. Whereas this is next level craftsmanship, just doesn’t have the brand recognition. I genuinely feel Germany has the real enthusiast brands. I feel they always deliver more for your money. The only I would say is get that deployant off the strap so you can fully see that beautiful movement!

[@nellyt2807]

Blimey the way he was banging on I thought it was an expensive watch he's obviously tight the watch itself does nothing for me but we all like and appreciate different things. My wife purchased me a watch at Christmas knowing I was also 60 the timepiece she acquired for me was something very special Made on the isle of Mann to me it's perfection.

I got my own cutom made Dornbluth 99.1 about 5 years ago, And last year me and my wife went down to visit Dornbluth, where Dirk show us arround. They where just so great and nice and they took so good care of us and gave us one in a lifetime experience, And just before we left Dirk sign my outer and iner box, that was a first for him.😅 Wear it in good health, It still love mine and it is a 100% true keeper.❤

[@PeterKotsa]

Beautiful, thank you for sharing 👍

[@lpg12338]

WOW! Congrats, what a nice story. 👍

[@JacobTab_S7_Plus-sg4ju]

@@lpg12338Thanks. Everything Peter say is 100% how I feel about my watch, I have own many brands like Rolex, Omega and JLC, They are all great watches and I love JLC, but they can't beat the feeling I have for my Dornbluth, And there customer service is so high.(something that is lost in my way in the watch world today) The value for money is crazy and it makes there watches real sleepers, Because you need to be into watches to real understand what you looking at, that is also why I love my Spring Drive Seiko.

[@eggsII]

Beautiful, Peter! Incredibly understated beauty. It oozes function, quality, and craftsmanship.

[@lukaskluba2728]

Dear Peter, I don't need to say anything about the watch because you said described it already so well. It was for me a plassure to see how happy and satiesfied you are about the purchase! I would like to give you my congratulations however in first way because of your wife and how happy you must be to have her (I married somebody who is just like your wife and thats so important) and in second way of course my congratulations about this incredible time piece! I wish you lot of fun in the next years with this watch! 🍻

[@barryvercueil2346]

Gorgeous time piece. love the story. thanks for sharing. Cheers

[@KristianDowling]

Mate this one is an absolute beauty. Seeing it in person was incredible. The takeaway from this video is that a love story with any watch, including this one, can come to an end, however when you meet a woman like yours, she’s a definite keeper!

[@PeterKotsa]

Couldn't have said it better myself Kristian..cheers mate

[@ericgrace9995]

I think I understand. It's beautiful

[@bullnose01]

My 99.1 arrived last month after a 16 month wait. It is mesmerizing. It is a timepiece that wants to be handled as much as worn. And the box with its display cutout is another work of sublime craftsmanship. Imagine if anOrdain and Dornbluth did a collaboration. Of course, the waitlist would be about 10 years. 😕

[@larrysmith9502]

Such a pleasure watching this review, Mr Kotsa. I'm not in a position that would justify purchasing a watch like this (now at least) but I appreciate how the appeal for you is in the care and precision required in it's manufacture. Plus that's a brilliant color!

[@mono1no1aware]

I am so excited for you, Peter, they're truly spectacular. Congrats and thanks for sharing this!

[@stastu7050]

Agree with you Peter. I bought Muhle Glashuette watch from Define watches in 2011. Visited shop in Noosa recently. Excellent team and great service. Congratulations.

[@amirghanbari9906]

[@xN1NJ4smurfx]

Wow, that's a stunning watch! Stoked for you, Pete, that you get to own and love such a beautiful piece with such a great back story. And... pretty awesome that your wife is willing to back your watch collection!

The wife factor is the biggest win here for me brother 🙏

[@morgan97475]

Because my wife said something very similar, I bought a Chronoswiss. Love that piece......and her, of course.

[@frankmanitta4870]

Great story on a very special time piece. Peter and Lydia are truly delightful to deal with. I would love to see you do a video about their back story on how they started Define watches. Their contribution to showcasing German watches to the Australian market cannot be for granted. For me German watch making history Is one of the most Important in the History of Horology

[@johnm9285]

Simply stunning. I really love the color. And your amazing photography has certainly honored the craftsmanship that created this beautiful thing.

[@peterboyce1422]

Lovely watch. Truly something special. The guys at define watches are fantastic with a well curated selection of watches. I visited last year and I am looking forward to purchasing something special from them.

Hi Peter, thanks for sharing. It's a beautiful handmade watch, so there isn't going to be another one that is exactly the same. Love all the craftsmanship that has gone into making it. It cost a lot of money but isn't expensive considering what you have to pay for some well-known luxury brands. Enjoy.

[@wdou451]

I'm so happy for you. I often find myself convincing why I don't need a certain watch, I can buy it, but it may not be logical to spend that much on it. I've been torturing myself by buying homages to scratch the itch. Now that I think about it, the amount of money I've spent on microbrands is like 80% of the watch I wanted. Thank you for sharing this story.
