Like most art, it holds a special meaning to the owner when they understand the craftsmanship and skill needed to create it. A smaller brand could reproduce this watch with a printed design, or even an injection mold, and it might look identical today, but the owner of this piece knows, deep down, that someone’s years of training is resting right there on their wrist.

My thoughts exactly. In general, PP seems to not pay any attention to typefaces, using very generic ones, which is a huge mistake IMO. Being conservative is one thing, but using Arial on a timepiece worth thousands, is a completely different story.

As a type designer and graphic designer, I second that. It's a crime against humanity using the default all caps for a script typeface, and the letter spacing is awful, everything is butted up against each other, it's as though the designer just picked the free font from the list without even choosing ligatures or swashes.

I know it's very small but the gold wire looks terrible in comparison to the finish of the mechanism!

Look at us looking at videos about watched we cannot afford.

Patek 5131J was an application piece. Rhone products allocates the watch to the customer and was not available for "walk - in" customers. Therefore the comment "back in 2013, you could have walked in to a Patek Philippe boutique and purchased this for £ 45000" is not entirely accurate.

Cloisonne is beautiful, but doesn't make a € 100.000,- watch per sé. I have cloisonne vases from China, a hundred years old, beautiful colors, same technique as this PF dial, but worth somewhere around € 100,- Either the vases are terrible underrated, or the dial is overrated. I think both statements are true...

@BonDijon

Well Patek didnt think so either considering the original price point of 45,000, but the market has said otherwise lolol. Also, the price is not just for the Cloisonne, but for the movement, finishing of the movement, brand name, etc, etc im sure ;)

Watchmaking isnt a formulae where all inputs equal an exact output ( price). The cost of the materials isnt worth over a grand. so is the workmanship worth 100 000? are the watchmaker getting paid that money? or the stockholders who get all the profits but merely pay the watchmakers a salary? bet they got profit margins of 90%

I’d hardly say that enameling is as hard as watch making as an entirety. Hard yes but the movement is still more impressive in this case. The dial is impressive don’t get me wrong but the amount of work put into the movement is probably double that of the dial.

I read comments about the cloissone technique not up to par, and ugly font...but no one mentions engraving the brand name/place of birth on the bezel? IMHO this is much more terrible than the Rolex YMII where the name of the watch was engraved on the ceramic bezel!

You people are the best at describing the details

Well said the Patek Phillipe 5131J World Timer is a piece of art on your wrist, you look at it all day long when you look for the time of the day. the people who have bought this watch in 2013 for $56,000 are very lucky because now the watch is worth $130,251.

Another funfair claw-crane drop from PP. I jest, but I think it looks kitschy at first blush. Great work though, both from PP and you.

How about a comparison between Vacheron Constantin Tradition and Patek Calatrava 5119G?

So beautiful. Im sad though. I came here after watching one of your older videos from last year, and i immediately noticed how i got pulled out of the beautiful atmosphere of the story by the promo voiceover interrupting the flow from intro to body.

If you read these comments, then greetings to you and my well wishes continue.

for 100,000 I would buy the following watches: JLC Duometre Chronographe, JLC Geophysic True Seconds pink gold, JLC Duometre Unique Travel Time, JLC Master Ultra Thin Perpetual pink gold and Reverso Tribute Calendar pink gold, and would be left with 25,000 GBP

How about a review of the Omega World Time

The font and typesetting really look like an accident. What were they thinking? The font wasn't made to be used all-caps and is illegible at this size. Just look at "NE" of New York, "NV" of Denver or Anchorage as a whole.

I wonder how much the guys who painted/worked on the dial got paid...

how does this compare to the VC 37 time zone

im looking for an affordable explorer 1/airking style watch with a flat crystal (not raised) to wear with a leather strap. something very simple, clean looking, 36-40mm $250-300 budget any suggestions?

could you do a comparison of this and the JLC Universal Time? I don't know if the PP is worth 10x times the price.

Amazing! What a story behind this masterpiece!

After all that talk of precision, the color coding of Africa is wrong. It has arid areas in top and grasslands and tropical forests in the middle and the west. Not to mention, there is no accuracy in the maps. They'd get more followers with a simpler dial for this watch

I don’t like being negative, but I have to say the workmanship of that cloisonné is... brutal. For a great dial from a comparable watch look at the Laurent Ferrier galet traveller. For better cloisonné at 1/10 the price look at the ulysse nardin classico dragon. Comparing enamel work on vases and such is different because there is so much more space to work with, but even other watch dials are much more well executed than this. Great video as always.

Ok, but this doesn't justify that pricetag.

If it were the artistry that justified the cost, then it always would have been worth 100k. This is basically just marketing and upcharging driving the cost.

"equatorial deserts" ehm...

Because someone priced it at $100k Arbitrary

Still no idea why it did double in value tho. All good craftsmanship and all, but doubling in value is huge. Why?

To make one thing clear: No paint brush has just a single hair, because the hair is for storing the paint. A single hair cannot store paint. Also, its not that important how many hairs you have in a paint brush, but its important how this hair is formed - especially the brush tip. The best brush for the finest details has a big belly to store the paint and a very sharp tip for finest details.

Pls take a look at the most recent speedmaster racing!!!

At 03:30 it doesn't look al that well done to me. I have a feeling that there are better ways to do this then bending copper by hand.

It would not surprise me at all if this work is actually done in some third world country to save money.
