When I saw how much has to come together and with such precision I am
grateful they don't cost much more.
Be Safe, Frank.

I've seen a similar programme in the past, but it's still well worth a watch. Good find Fred. :thumbsup:

It always amazes me how many of the processes are still entirely manual. It goes a long way (well, let's say a reasonable way! :wink: ) to justifying the ever increasing prices.

:yeahthat Nice video. I was very surprised on how much labor was manual. One comparison... I've seen Rolex's video and noticed their bracelets are made by automation.

Makes me almost want to buy a Chronomat. Almost. :wink: (that damn bezel font)

Really enjoyed the video. Wish they had talked a little bit more about some of the other watches, like the Quartz or SuperQuartz movements.

Really enjoyed this. Thank you for posting. It's made me really want this model now. I loved seeing the detail up close that I would have otherwise missed just viewing the images online.

Very interesting, thanks for posting (although quite similar to the Breitling Superfactory video that was posted some time ago in an other thread).

I thought it was the same as the Super Factory video, is it now?

There are a few factories that are mentioned in this video. Different parts of the watch are made in different factories. Is that what you're referring to?

No, I was responding to gbuergisser's post that it is similar to the Super Factories video, which implies that there are two separate but similar videos out there. Just wondering what the other video is.

They look like the same video to me, at least the active links. Oh well.
