Watchmaking Magic! Rolex Yacht-Master II
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Have you taken a look inside the Rolex Yacht-Master II? At 44mm, it's not only one of the largest watches made by Rolex. It's also one of the most complicated (second only to the Sky-Dweller).
The gold Yacht-Master 2 (reference 116688) shown on the video houses a 360-component Caliber 4161 movement, which powers this beast of a sports watch, equipped with a regatta timer for yacht racing. The watch also contains the same Ring Command bezel as the Sky-Dweller, but uses it instead to control the timing mechanisms.
Join us in this episode of our Watchmaking Magic series as we perform a complete overhaul on the watch, taking every single piece apart with surgical precision before putting them back together again.
Yuri Lopez from Chrono Sky (see Instagram and website links below), our preferred watchmaker, allowed us to take some breathtaking footage of the entire process.

I haven’t read every comment, but apart from the master watchmaker’s obvious skill and talent, no one has mentioned anything about the manufacture of these micro components! Absolutely awesome micro engineering. The mathematics behind even the ratios of the multiple micro gears is mind blowing! 👍👍
Growing up I always knew Rolex was a great name , now I understand why!

Mesmerizing! This is why the watchmaker argument (fine tuning) never dies.
Although its pretty incredible seeing peoples knowledge on disassembling and reassembling watches. I think im even more blown away by the fact that someone actually invented these in the first place. All those pieces just to make 3 hands move. Wow!

Watch making is really under appreciated. Nobody can imagine the level of effort, compassion and most importantly skill that they put in to get these beautiful masterpieces to the people out there. Not mentioning at the price that even premium, it doesn’t justify the their compassion and dedication

I agree. I work in a certified workshop above a Rolex ad and most watches go back to the customer without a thought, it’s just that bit more rewarding when you get a note or message from a colleague from the customer saying how much they appreciate your work.

lol you know it is machine made by humans, right?
Lets see a machine do that. Impressive to see such a craftsman at work .
The Yacht-Master II is my favorite Rolex watch ever. They took the rotating bezel, which was already a brilliant innovation from many years ago, and they made it interface with the internal mechanism. That's what differentiates it from the original Yacht-Master. The original Yacht-Master was just an arguably better version of the Submariner that had nothing to do with yachting. The Yacht-Master II symbolizes Rolex as a brand, because it innovates and creates new things.

There is something about watches that can almost summarize humanity. The outside appearance, inside appearance, art for sale, or art for love. The thought itself cannot be described in full, but only generalized
And I thought tech repair guys we're awesome. Until I saw this. The patience and skill
Even my hands shaking for no reason. This man is incredible.
This is beautiful. It makes me wonder how those tiny pieces were fabricated.
What a fantastic movement
Imagine sitting down and saying this is the watch I’m going to make. The Rolex watchmakers are amazing.
It's so amazing how this watch maker disassemble the watch and put it back together wow. Well done
Nice job 👍
rolex do so well with their movements. Very technically sound and intuitive.
The absolute precision and know how of the watch master are amazing. Every pieces inside the watch are much more complex than putting puzzles together. Now, I understand why Rolex es are so so valuable besides their marketing strategies .Low supply with high demand. A state of Art 🎨

It's less complicated than an average modern automatic transmission. The wonder for me is the small size and the manufacturing pedantry. Re the mechanism, it's a bit like Victorian era infrastructure ie great beauty even for a sewer or pumping station.

All that work just to rotate a clock arm is a testament to the beauty. So many little pieces and you could only imagine how long it took the genius to plan this

With so much precision and accuracy in this watch how does the technician know how tight to make the screws holding everything together? He just screws the screws until the threads causes him to stop? Could he possibly tighten the screws to much to where it would affect the mechanisms accuracy and balance? The guitarist Dan Spitz from my favorite heavy metal band, Anthrax, retired from the band and playing music all together and went off to Switzerland and trained to become a master watchmaker. So cool to see the inside of a watch and how its assembled. Hes the one who got me into watches. Ever since I was little anything mechanical has always intrigued me.
Very professional
