    The problem is he does nothing for the normal person. No ordinary person could afford his watch and he only makes a few just for the elites;)

    He speaks in great detail about the reduced amount of sliding friction during impulse but doesn't at all bring into consideration the sliding friction during locking and unlocking...I'd like to ask him about this!

    I’m sure clearly experienced in escapements, but oration not so much. Is hard to watch him fumbling through.

    This guy never worked for Rolex, who cares what he does and says?

    This guy can build every part of a watch by hand and sells them for $500k.

    From a watchmakers perspective, Rolex must be the most boring watch manufacturer to work for.

    The Rolex he's wearing (Explorer 1) has a completely re-designed movement incorporating his and his Master's (George Daniels) Co-axial Escapement. The accuracy and sheer genius of which is something ordinary Rolex watch wearers can only dream of.
