What a beautiful watch. As always one of the most quality and well lit video on youtube!

My all time favorite channel, made me love watchfinder brand so much more, you’re doing a great job 👏🏼

Please make a video of the Seiko Cocktail Time watches. Would love the Macro shots!

Thanks, well appreciated, but going straight to the point sometimes is fine, smaller histories also. Cheers!

So much love for this channel. Thank you so much for the education and culture provided folks. The dream is to someday somehow be able to afford masterpieces like this one.

I know there are lots of people who want you to talk about the watch rather than give a history lesson or talk about horological significance of movements etc, i am here to say please continue what you’re doing. If I want a review of a watch there are endless other videos about that, what you do is much more interesting and the reason i keep coming back.

I was really bummed that you spent the whole video on the definition of digital, which you’ve already talked on other watch videos. I subscribed to hear about the watches

Again and again a further excellent review of an excellent SMART mechanical miracle... Thanks so much. Wished that IWC would be somehow more affordable :-)

I could watch this eyes closed and still enjoy it very much, but I wouldn't want to miss out on such crisp footage.

A bit of constructive criticism here: I appreciate the stories you tell, but they are getting harder to watch. Way too much droning on before you get to the point... or the watch. Here, we didn't hear about the watch until almost 8 minutes, and barely scratched the surface. I'd love to see you go back to how you did some of your older videos, where the focus is more on what makes the watch unique and tell us about it. Recently, it feels like you're getting further and further away from that.

Fascinating

I appreciate Watchfinder introducing this Ingenieur Digital Perpetual Calendar watch. I think it is vastly under-rated and under-appreciated. However, I should point out this movement design is not new, and this Ingenieur is not the first model to use it. IWC has had it for years. In fact, its first variation was used way back in 2009 on their Da Vinci Perpetual Calendar (IW3761). Since then, this movement has been used in various models, including Pilot, Portugieser and even the previous generation (Genta-inspired) Ingenieur.

I can understand why some might not like all the poetry and so little about the watch. This is like Top Gear, the Talking Hands can't make everybody happy all of the time. But they sure are trying their best. This kind of balance is very hard to maintain, trust me. But as long as The Hands are going to keep talking i am going to keep watching and listening to them.

I need the Track ID of the music. Anyone?

All the shots left out how oversized and thick that watch is to accommodate all the complexity + automatic rotor. I had an IWC 8 day power reserve automatic once, and it had a simply gorgeous movement, like shown above, but damn it was just too thick to wear. If the power reserve's that long, go with manual...

Words cannot describe my desire to own this beautiful marvel of engineering. Sigh ...

CASIO's digital technology is so legendary its even mentioned here. I didn't expect that 😂👍

F91W is still the best wrist watch ever made and likely will be for ever. Accurate, dirt cheap, looks nice and it's comfortable.

Oh you had to say pinky toe connecting with the edge of a bed!! Cringeworthy for sure!

I’ve watched your videos for ages, but the format is starting to shift in a way that is increasingly frustrating. 90% of the videos are now about completely tangential issues (like the etymology of the word “smart”, even though this watch legitimately isn’t a smartwatch, making the subject completely irrelevant) and massive deep dives into a year in the life of a watchmaker, as opposed to simply talking about the watch in the video. I can’t be the only one who’s getting annoyed by this “we need to make the video over 10 minutes for extra ad revenue” mentality.

And from this atrocity, frederique constant was born

Gees. Big fan of the show, but last couple of videos got me thinking. Are you ever going to talk about the watch itself? I skipped around this vid, still don’t know what’s smart about it.

Its just a uglier and more recent version of my IW379107. Still, much less money that the ALS version.

Uuggley.........

If it don’t talk to my iPhone then it’s a Dumb Watch!

Begins with too much rambling, trying too hard to be poetic. Great footage.

Humorless horologists panning this video: He’s trying to sell a watch. One way is to tell a story. Another is to list features, benefits, and construction like a furnace salesman. He uses both approaches at times. If you like this watch you’ll go learn more. If you don’t you won’t.
