Thanks Book, great video to share and indeed, relaxing.

Keep in mind this is a 2.6 million dollar watch. Nonetheless, mechanical watch making absolutely fascinates me. I have a swiss mechanical watch, which I wore to work for over six months. I beat the shit out of this watch. I went through 5 watch bands during the time, and the thing kept on ticking. The sapphire crystal, not a scratch. Scratches on the stainless bezel yes, but the it remained water tight. All the gears and tiny parts kept moving and it kept accurate time.

I finally retired it from work duty. I upgraded the band to a stainless one, and it's my favorite watch to wear. How they kept all those little tiny parts moving through the beating this watch took, amazes me.

What a masterpiece that is, and handcrafted on top of that!

After 20+ years of mechanic work, watching that drove me nuts. Working on tiny mechanisms is harder than putting together a D8. Then there is the impracticality of it all. You can't compete with mass production. I could buy a brand new Timex every day for the rest of my life and still be a couple million bucks ahead of that.

But I still respect and admire the guys who can build them.
