Well spoken Nico, surprisingly nothing bad about these watches. All sentimental and valuable watches

Thank you for the kind words for our late and great Queen, your country of The Netherlands also had great royalty in William III was born on 4th November 1650. A Dutchman by birth, part of the House of Orange, he would later reign as King of England, Scotland and Ireland until his death in 1702, who landed in my home town of Carrickfergus who then went on to win at the Battle of the Boyne in 1690. I have friends from Netherlands who have never heard of King William due to not being taught in history lessons in their schools and were amazed with how well he is knowen over here in Northern Ireland and that there is a statue of him in front of our castle here in Carrickfergus. 💂 🟠 💂

This is probably the best tribute to her majesty I have seen so far. Was thoroughly enjoyable and very educational.

Nico you are seriously one of the funniest and entertaining ppl to watch.

fantastic review of the Royal watches , and thanks for your love of the Queen

There were indeed some very thin watches before the invention of the balance spring in 1675, but they got rather thicker afterwards. Prior to 1675, watches would have a wildly erratic rate. After 1675, +/-5 minutes a day became common. In fact, some early 18th century verge watches could keep within a minute a day. The lever escapement wasn't installed into a watch until 1770 and even then it had teething issues. Mudge himself didn't want to pursue it and Josiah Emery made the next lever watches over a decade later. Precision watches had duplex or detent escapements; the lever wouldn't catch on until about 1810 or so.

NGL, Nico, I'm not a watch fanatic, I just enjoy how you make the video entertaining and slightly educational.

Man the knowledge Nico has is insane blows me away all the details the dates and all its mind-blowing

God Bless our Queen! RIP! Quality always shines through!
