Saw this over an TZ and thought it was amazing. It's a 30 minute video but it shows just how impressive GO is.

Great video. I watched the whole thing . . . and now I want a Glashutte even more than I previously thought.

Really amazing video, thanks for sharing.

I get the twinge every once in a while that I'd like to be a watchmaker - its glimpses into manufacturers like this that make me realize just how ridiculously meticulous and difficult it really is. A lifelong commitment each of these people to be dedicated microsurgeons. Super cool.

Fascinating video. I still wonder, though: why can't they design a decent website?

Perhaps no one has ever told them that visitors to their website might actually want to see the watches.

Just today I had my nose pressed against the glass at a GO AD...

They're incredible looking aren't they??? I wish I still had mine but it was a good move for me to sell the grey dial and wait for the new white dial PML

I like the grey dial PML but it doesn't grab me like the black. White might be good. For me (and my aging eyes) it would depend on the contrast between the hands and the dial. When is the white due?

AD isn't sure on an exact date, he just says by end of the year. The white dial has blue hands which appear to jump of the dial summarily to how my 5001 does. Well see.

LOL @ the "romantic" 70's music in the beginning. I was not even born then, but I heard all about it in middle school. And why a British guy narrating. I wanted this guy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sfkDxF2kn1I LOL@wii part.
