At first when I subscribed to your channel, I thought you were one of many many many guys who just sit in his room, rant about watches they don't own but videos like these really shows your authentic enthusiasm. thank you and cheers

Same, in all honesty I thought you were just another loser worh no skill and bad paid job so that you are trying to capitalize on the growing market and bored people by being another youtuber with no character or brains .. but now I see you have a passion for watches...who knows maybe one day you will become a master ( meaning of kung fu - being a master ) in watch making and you will start living for watches

Long and geeky you say? That was the quickest 12 minutes of my life! Top marks Adrian!

Thanks so much Joshua. I’m really glad you liked it. This took so much work to edit, so I’m glad it’s appreciated. 👍🏻

Lovely to see in this day and age of automation urgency and cost efficiencies, that there still exist technically skilled blokes like this.

Automation urgency and cost efficiencies require a mountain of technical skill... inefficiency is easy to achieve.

This is the apprentice of that old master sorcerer who invented the co-axial escapement, isn't it? Epic. Maybe B&J's best video yet.

@@BarkandJack We'll look forward to the rest of the series.

I watched a video on Roger Smith a few years back. Pretty much a self trained watch maker, until taken under the wing of George Daniels. Being a Dental Technologist, I fully under stand what attention to detail is, but this is a whole different level. What an amazing guy. I have always been fascinated by watches, and when my father was in the Military, he bought a Rolex Oyster Perpetual, in the early 60’s when he was on tour in the Middle East. I always loved that watch as a kid. When he died I was given the watch, and have cherished the watch, and still do, and wear it, to this day. I have a small collection, and have just recently purchased my second Rolex. Love your channel, thanks so much for the time you put into your videos. Cheers from Canada.

What a humble man! Been looking forward to this for such a long time! Worth the wait

Absolutely brilliant video, every time I see Roger being interviewed he's always such a humble Gent. Looking forward to the next video.

Great video again Adrian, love how a lot of the watchmaker wear a Rolex explorer. Just class

George and roger are my hero's i completely understand the mentality of ill figure it out myself iv done this my whole life i make most things i use and now im learning how to make a watch these guys are the inspiration the drive me to keep going so thanks Adrienne for the video i cant wait for the rest of the series

Your best video Adrian, and Roger Smith is the best, and so humble! He doesn’t worry about guarding his methods and ideas, unlike the big manufacturers. They can learn from him. Humble Explorer on the wrist! You did say audio was a problem, slightly out of sync, but didn’t detract. Thanks, can’t wait for the next instalment!

Excellent, thank you Adrian. Very interesting and extremely insightful. Looking forward to Pt.2

Now this is what we were waiting for ! Thank you Adrian and thank you Roger. Epic. Part 2 please....

Can't wait for part 2. And hey, 12:47s ain't long if the subject matter is interesting. I'd gladly watch something a lot longer. Hey, this is one of the few videos I've watched on normal speed. Keep up the good work =)

Mr. Smith's timepieces are astonishing objects of art. Beautiful! 👍

Great insight to the man himself...well done Adrian, & also many thanks to Roger for giving up his time for the channel .. keep up the great work ...really enjoy the videos, great channel....well done

Excellent video......truly handmade timepieces.

What an absolute pleasure to sit and watch a video so different to all the other “same old, same old” stuff out there on KZread about watches. You seem to have, for me, the perfect way of presenting what you do without falling into the trap of making it all about yourself, like so many others seem to do. I’ve really enjoyed all the stuff you’ve put out so far Adrian so keep it up mate and I’m sure you will get to where you want to go. I’ve just subscribed so I hope that helps you along the way.

Very interesting video. Look forward to the next one

Loved watching all the stuff on Roger absolute genius and so down to earth. Wow those dials are out of this world!!

Great work here. A joy to watch. You know how to let your subject talk.

Great stuff. Learning a lot! Thanks!

Brilliant. You lucky bugger - what an honour. A pleasure to watch and the film work was superb. Congrats.

Absolutely amazing!

Brilliant video. Roger is a legend so thank you to both of you for creating it.

Isle of Man watchmaker Roger Smith wearing a Rolex 114270 Explorer ... nice touch as Rolex had roots in Great Britain.

The story behind it is pretty cool. When he graduated watchmaking school he saved up and bought himself a Rolex OP to mark the occasion. When he stared making his own watches he quickly ran out of money, so he sold his OP to fund the watchmaking. When he started making good money, his wife surprised him with a watch she recognised to be similar to his OP that he wore when they met.

Fantastic Adrian. Thanks for bringing us along on this journey. Geeking out to the max. Nice editing too 👌

Amazing project Adrian! Will defo enjoy the episodes to come

Brilliant. Thanks for making this.

Absolutely fascinating, one of your best videos and the stereo definitely adds to the quality 👍

This is brilliant Adrian, thanks for this

Absolutely brilliant Adrian...I can't wait for the rest of the series :)

This is a great video Adrian , i have seen a few interviews with Roger and i am always amazed at how humble the man is , a true craftsman and gentleman , The moonphase watch is jaw dropping !! absolutely gorgeous .

Well worth the wait. Look forward to seeing the next part. Enjoying the new nato strap. Definitely a better feel to it than my other straps.

BRILLIANT cant wait for the next part you are a lucky lucky man

wow! An interview with the Jedi of Watchmaking! What an experience, great vid Adrian!

So interesting and great insight. I can see his logic thank you for the video.

What a supper interview, great subject and nice chp.

Great info and amazing craftsmanship, thanks for the video Adrian!

Congratulations. really enjoy it

There is a man from France, Zimmerman MOF, who made his watches by hand one to two years wait time. I bought two from him and they are the jewels in the crown of my collection. MOF means 'Meilleur ouvrier de France' a great honor in France where watchmaking goes back further than the Swiss.

Knock it out of the park Adrian.... your production has stepped up 10 fold with this video. Keep up the great work! Really enjoyed this one.

Great stuff 🤓 roll on Friday! Loving the passion from both sides. Thanks.

Your content keeps getting better. This is the first bell icon I’ve ever clicked. Can’t wait to see part 2. I’ll post this to some of the groups now.

Wonderful video Adrian. Roger is a true horological hero.

Brilliant video! He seems like a fantastic person. Thanks for sharing man !

You are the man! Congratulation. Smiths is a Legend.

Superb episode. Bravo!

What an absolute treat to speak with him.

Roger Smith is amazing. He's a real throwback to traditional watchmaking in a modern world. Good to know there are still artisans like Roger in the world. I'm surprised he hasn't made an automatic watch yet. I'm sure he'll come up with some innovation that makes it better when he does. This is your best videos yet! I can't wait for part 2. Your time spent editing was totally worth it. Keep up the good work! Now you'll excuse me while I figure out how to buy one of Roger's watches.

Wow! Brilliant video thank you.

Looking forward to the next video cheers

Love these field trips of yours, Adrian. Not only do they provide insight, but they reinforce my decision to purchase mechanical movements. Thanks

Nice review , thank you and keep the good work .

Well done Adrian, as an engineer and watch lover you've visited my grail workshop. Don't mind admitting I'm very jealous, cannot wait for part 2!
