In this episode, we will be deconstructing a vintage Vacheron Constantin pocket watch from 1949, a World Time Pocket Watch to be precise.

It had been a while we didn't produce such a video and we really love making them with our good friend Peter. They are always really interesting and instructive and of course something one should avoid trying by oneself!

MB&F just released a series of 8 timepieces taking the Legacy Machine Split Escapement as the vehicle for Mr Eddy Jaquet to express his mastery of the art of engraving. He not only spent more than 3 months to engrave each dial of these watches, but he also came with the design ideas after having read almost every single book written by Jules Verne.

n today’s video we compare two different approaches illustrating the constant force mechanism and we not only do so with our good friend Peter Speake but with two great timepieces coming from Ferdinand Berthoud and the second one from Arnold & Son. Peter comes back on what is constant force and details with us how it has been expressed differently on these two timepieces.

In today’s video we had the great opportunity of visiting the pretty surprising workshop of Laurent Jolliet, the last chain maker still in business here in Switzerland, crafting bracelets by hand and we got to find out how Milanese bracelets were made. There is unfortunately a lot at stake, since this craft is no longer being taught an unfortunately we could well lose this expertise if no one takes over.

In this third and final episode, you will discover what it takes to make a hairspring and balance wheel by hand, mixing traditional know-how with the knowledge of today, before the final assembly of this amazing timepiece. And very importantly the emotion shared by the team after the watch's first tick-tocking!

And here we go for the second part of our documentary approach following the making of Greubel Forsey's Hand Made 1 timepiece. In this video you will see more in details how some of the key components of this watch have been developed and manufactured by hand, such as screws, hands, case and the tools used to achieve this.

We are extremely happy to share with you a behind the scene journey into the making of Grebeul Forsey's Hand Made 1 timepiece. This project not only pays tribute to the very origin of mechanical watchmaking when the hand was the most precious tool used, but also achieving a spectacular end result in terms of performance and level of precision corresponding to today's standards.

Meet Robert Greubel and Stephen Forsey, founders of the brand, and all the team behind this amazing project, discover their motivation, the challenges encountered and the solutions found.

Today, we have quite a special video to share with you as we had the great privilege of following the full restoration carried on an original Ferdinand Berthoud Marine Chronometer, a timekeeping device of historical significance.

You know we love doing those walkthrough videos and that's the main reason why we are delighted to share today with you this visit of our good neighbour Akrivia in the old town of Geneva.

Today we have the pleasure to present yet another facet of watchmaking, as we had the opportunity of visiting our good friend Xavier Dietlin, whose company has revolutionised the way timepieces are presented.

This extensive visit of Kari Voutilainen's set up will show you what it takes to produce some 50 timepieces per year with the super high-quality standards of Kari and his team.

Let’s discover together a very special craft: miniature wood marquetry, as we had the opportunity to meet in Paris a very talented young artisan crafting dials for Hermès and he shared with us the full process of how he works.
