Fully agree, too much hype in the title Let the content speaks for it self

I worked at Spam for 33 years, but never got beyond putting pig bits in grinder section. One day Gerald had a stroke and I took over adding salt for the afternoon though. That was quite advanced, but nothing to do with the fancy ring-pull.

Gerald was my father, he had saved his spot at spam for me when he died. Then they informed me they had given the job to one of the young guys who had worked in the pig bits dept. I had all forgotten about this painful time in my life. Thank you

This a VERY good idea!

The JLC skeleton minute repeater you showed a couple of years ago was very loud, very clear, and nicely sonorous - and a fraction of the cost of this Patek. Oddly, it used the crystal as a "speaker" which is where the Patek got the idea?!

You’re probably right. JLC have been described as “the watchmaker’s watchmaker” so it wouldn’t surprise me at all if that was the case. They have also made stuff for Patek in the past.

A very British way of poking fun at one of the world’s best watch makers without being disrespectful! Entertaining and informative, keep them coming guys!

Regarding the "key-less Spam container", the ring pull was invented by Ermal Fraze, in 1963, in Dayton, Ohio. The idea for the ring pull came about while Ermal Cleon Fraze was having a picnic and couldn’t open his beer can after forgetting his can opener. I believe that all subsequent ring pull opening containers were inspired by the design of Mr. Emal Fraze. Fred

Love this format as much as the original. You guys working together, for one, have nudged several discussions toward the extremes of what most people regard as 'affordable.' Items between $200 - $1,500. Which offers appreciation of a watch’s qualities that might be overlook in lieu of being thought of as merely cheap. Thank You for doing these. - Champagne Taste with a Pint or Two Purse, Esq.

Great British sense of humour excercised in horology!

Actually that robot warrior watch holder looked awesome. I looked it up: Taurus Robot Watch Stand Holder ... $199.00

Give the editor a raise!

Hilarious- thanks guys, loved the chat. Awesome format, would be great to chat over a pint in the pub I'm sure!

All my humorous KZread entertainment is now derived from this and "The Critical Drinker". Thanks boys.

I think the JLC Reverso minute repeater uses the sapphire crystal as part of the gong and this obviously faces forward - or not if required!

If I weren't already subbed, that Hall and Oates cameo would've absolutely clinched it.

Frederique Constant is doing some interesting things with minimising the component counts in a watch mechanism. And it supposedly runs at an incredibly high beat rate…who knows where it will lead?

Really enjoyed this one! Super funny, great show

Love this format keep up the good work

You know one company that I haven't heard much about or new models from recently is Vacheron Constantin?

you guys are a delight to listen to. you've had me giggling out loud (gol) many times, and the pieces are wondrous. thank you.😀

Guys: you should be in the marketing dept. of Patek! You’re teasing (build-up) us without letting us hear the watch, letting see it from all angles to make us drool. Merry Christmas, John

This is like the old top gear for watches, you have bits about the main content, watches in this case, and bits like this, which is similar to the conversation in the studio (conversation street in the grand tour)

I like the hands on stuff but keep doing what you enjoy!

Good fun, lads. Enjoyed and was informed....I think :)

This format is fantastic.

always with the most in depth, very informational content!

Maybe on their next watch Patek can use Advanced Research to make a dial that is actually legible.

"Play your watch again, charlie!" lmfo that made me laugh outloud

I wonder how shock resistant the acoustic assembly is? How would it hold up if one was to slam their fist on their office desk?

I love this show, the only suggestion I have is at the end to have a short non watch related segment where you can talk about anything. You can call it "out of time". 😋

I don’t know about Spam’s research team, but I know my old neighbor was on the development team that designed one of the first aluminum soda cans with a pop top for a company called Kaiser Aluminum.

Ya know, I don’t think a $650,000 minute repeater is a game changer. That kind of just seems like the same game.

The Hodinkee x Johh Mayer G-Shock Limited Edition syncs up to a bluetooth speaker for optimal acoustics when the hours change.

Just a quibble: the diaphragm does not "amplify" the sound, it only resonates. Meaning that it doesn't add additional energy to system, but it does sort of spread the sound waves out over a larger area. For their next watch, I'd like to see the back diaphragm actually driven by the mainspring. :)

Good episode. I like this format.

I mean, with the way they put an aftermarket wheel/rim on the watchface, having a subwoofer in the back is just the logical conclusion. Underbody lighting and a turbocharger will be next.

Pretty sure Jacob & Co did just that with their " Bugatti watch " . I'm not too sure about the mechanics of it though

The Chopard Full Strike employs a similar "crystal amplifier" concept, back in 2017!

Outstanding 👍🏻👏🏻

Hey chaps, didn't it occur to you that the design of the dial works for exactly what Patek wanted to accomplish - waveguidingf and amplification. Here is a quick and dirty on it: the membrane oscillates, creating sound waves. Those waves travel backward (towards the backside of the case) and forward (towards the dial). Then, it probably has been designed, so the wave, reflected from the bottom, interfere with the wave traveling towards the dial to amplify the sound, which then "exits" through the mesh dial for you, and others around you, to enjoy. Sounds plausible?

More of this please.

love this show. could this somewhat be on podcast platform like Spotify?

That was fun.

Halls And Oates.. was expecting Rick Astley

Hilarious. Your best so far. Especially because it was not only very funny but informative and really interesting for us mere mortals who will never ever see any of these marvels in the flesh. I am ecstatic.

This must be the watch Emerson, Lake and Powell were singing about in "Touch and Go".

Well done again chaps. Informative and funny as per

The advanced research division of SPAM, indeed! Thanks for brightening my day! 🙂

A high-quality thirty minute video on a $650,000 in a foreign accent. Peak perfection.

Speaking of innovation in watchmaking, what's your take on Frederique Constant's Monolithic concept?

A great name for these episodes would be "Talk Time" I like the sound of that at least.

Why does the watch at about 17:40 have the word "email" on it? I did some searching, and can't find the reason for this.

the exact same micro pattern on the dial as in 22:05on my myota 9015 automatic

Love the show! But I can't not ask, why does the dial on 17:39 say email? I've seen it before and I can't help but chuckle whenever I do. What does it even mean?

beautiful watch!!! 😊😎👍

I looked around, and wasn't sure where to actually post a question for the talking hands...er, microphones...so I will throw it out here, and see what happens. Q: most worthless complication? A guy I work with brought his late fathers Omega Seamaster to show me. Beautiful vintage piece! He got so excited that he decided to buy a new watch off a Grey Market site. Spent a lot of $ on a watch I hadn't heard of...thats a chronograph. Got me thinking: why would he, or I, ever want, let alone use, a chronograph? Then I wondered, "what's the most unused complication in watchdom??" Any thoughts? ...I it just to say you have it?

Loving these videos, more please guy's

My favourite watch channel… sorry meant channel (full stop)

Can you imagine Casio's advanced research department? They were making the sounds in the 80s!

You guys are the Click & Clack of watches. Great fun! :-)

very well explained by the "two mikes"

Is there any video of this watch series like they made grandchime's video?

Two guys shooting the breeze, and not taking stuff so seriously...great stuff!! Spam lol

why are there no spring driven tourbillon clocks? if there is an argument for one in a pocket watch, can't that argument be used for a clock on a wall or desktop?

@Gajoobles

2 жыл бұрын

Defeats the point of it since it was to increase accuracy due to gravity affecting the movement if the watch didn't rotate much (i.e. a pocket watch). On the wrist it is also debatable because your arm is always moving so for those it is just because it looks cool and is fascinating to look at (and probably build). A wall or desktop clock it would be even more pointless in terms of accuracy but what about decoration? I guess that would depend on how big you can get them, I read somewhere 27mm was one of the biggest? Not sure I will look around a bit more, but if so then it would just be too small to appreciate on a wall, maybe a small desktop one yeah but good point.

Gentlemen, love your shows, sound of voice, knowledge. Listening to you is pure pleasure. I have just one remark though, maybe you can take it under consideration. Whenn pronouncing “Patek Philippe” you should change your accent slightly. Since Antoni Patek, founder of the company, was Polish, you should put stress on the FIRST syllabus of the word, while Philippe, who was French is accented correctly. So it is not pa-TEK phi-LIPPE, but PA-tek phi-LIPPE. Mr Stern pronounces it correctly ;). Great job guys anyway.

Yall seen the new Chopard minute repertor? It uses a one piece crystal sapphire gong and front plate. They say the sound is crystal clear. Har har har.

images are on point

A 'hyperwatch' - Beautiful!

But how do you tell the time with a dial *designed* to disguise the hands away???

Got to admit the system they came out with in genius. A fully mechanical watch and now what is a mechanical speaker system. It's pure mechanical artwork.

Comparing the base movement of this watch to a Citroen Saxo might just have disqualified you from an invitation to PP...

If I'm not mistaken there is something that is called a dumb repeater. IMHO there are watches that perform ultra-quiet dumb functions and have the ability to perform with chimes as well. Please tell me if I am wrong.

the quick insert of the hall and oates album reinforced my decision to subscribe.

I enjoy the show, But, the flick between the microphone makes me dizzy. I suggest not to change the screen so fast.
