I like time pieces and can well understand the fascination of a manufactured 20k watch. However, I have a problem with it. You mostly pay for things that you don't see and feel, and that don't give you any advantage over basically any watch that costs 100 Euros. The mechanics may be handcrafted, super detailed and made by the most skilled people in the industry. But still, you really can't see any of it. What you see (if even) is that the watch is Gold instead of Steel. I've just bought a Davosa "Batman" for 1.300 Euros and I love it. However, apart from the fantastic bezel there is not much difference to a couple of 400-500 Euro Tissot that I own. I even own an Invicta für 140 and a Parnis for 130 Euros. Both outstanding for their respective prices. Neither the Tissot and not even the Davosa are really "a lot" better. Sure, you can see a difference, but only when looking close. Is the Davosa 10 times as good as the Invicta? Nope. And is a Rolex 10 times as good as the Davosa? Nope. My point is, you pay an aweful lot of money for things that don't make the watch better. If I compare a VW Golf to a Porsche 911, I can at least see and feel what I'm paying for. And there it's only double or triple the price of the Golf. I would go as far as to say, most watches are not worth more than maybe 2.000 Euros. The rest is image and brand. BTW: 2.000 pounds is NOT a cheap watch. It's expensive. Saying it is cheap is like calling an Audi A6 cheap just because there is also Lamborghini.

That is a very valid argument. The only value proposition I can see is the pride of ownership on top of the real value of the watch. This brings in the case of the the likes of Christopher Ward etc.

I've been a collector for decades, I had no idea the extreme microscopic differences of attention to detail like this, great video!

It's worth mentioning that the Vacheron Constantin's Guilloché dial is also made out of solid 18k 5N pink gold, all hand turned on the rose engine. The JLC featured is actually closer to £15k than £10k.

You're the only person who can convince me , for a minute atleast, that these watches are actually worth their price.

Super video as always and a perfect example of why people are willing to pay much more for watches, and at the same time why people aren't willing to pay. Whilst the VC and JLC are beautiful and more work has gone into them are they worth 5/10 X the price of the FC, especially when in order to see the extra work you need a lens 🔍🤔?

He showed many of the elements that make a watch expensive, sure the name certainly can add something to the price but we can also see the details that cost money here too.

it's a good thing I carry a 5 pound microscope with me so that I can enjoy the finest things in life..

This was a great video. Though I am sure I will never buy watches like these learning more about what sets the apart is worthwhile.

Watchfinder needs to do an episode of the HYT series of watches. They have some of the most unique movements. That or Ressence.

2,000 is the entry price for a luxury watch, it depends on how you view it, of course it's not cheap for everyone, but compared to the trinity ( Patek, AP, Vacheron, which cost more than 20k and even RM watch at 100k++, 2,000 watch suddenly sounds cheap, aint it ?

Twe Foju You have absolutely no clue what you are talking about. The holy trinity is PP, VC and JLC, not AP, also not all of their watches cost more than 20 thousand pounds, and did you seriously just use RM as your prime example for really expensive watches? Try A. Lange or Patek Phillipe Grand Complications, watches that are expensive for their finish and watchmaking and not just because they’re crazy looking, and artificially priced.

I rather get tissot powermatic 80 with eta movement for less than $300 than a £2,000 Frederick constant with a sellita movement...

Great video!! we need a 2nd video.😍

Does the 2k pound watch with the Sellita have a flaw on the printed 10 o clock index?

Not convinved by your argumet for the VC's superiority, I am afraid. Pitting on the bezel, corrosion on the second hand, less than pleasing aesthetics... JLC all the way, absolutely no question about it.

The finish on that JLC is eye bleeding. How the fuck do you conclude that JLC is better than VC. Although the VC's finish is terrible compare to the independents or even the Patek. It is miles better than that JLC. You can like the JLC more than the VC, there's no problem for liking JLC at all. But if you say that JLC is objectively better than VC as a watch, you should seriously get your eyes checked.

@@CYC_JP The JLC is leagues ahead as a watch: a device for keeping time, purely by it having automatic wind, to say nothing of the moon and date complications. That said, a cheap casio quartz is objectively a better watch than any featured in this video.

Sooo to justify an expensive watch you need to view it with a magnifying glass. Incredible.

The watch industry is a bit of a funky beast adding things that the average person or casual enthusiast will never notice. Price is highly subjective also. Look at a Rolex Submariner and you'd absolutely laugh at the quality/finishing vs price tag.

Great video quality! I usually mute the sound and play your videos at 1.75x speed, just look at those beautiful watches!

I’ve watched this channel for years because I’m fascinated with these tiny parts and the skill required. One day I hope to own a Seamaster. Not super expensive but checks my boxes and is a beautiful watch. I want to buy to do my part in keeping mechanical watches alive.

I still think a 20$ casio packs more engineering and features

Please also feature some SEIKO, Orient and CITIZEN in next video.

Miguel Alejandro Quezada Morando a cheap house is £80,000 but that’s 2 to 4 years of work so the idea of what cheap is very changeable.

Who are the Muppets that have this video a thumbs down?

I just now became a fan of patterned watch dials. That Vacheron Constantin looks absolutely perfect
