The mechanical product is quite amazing but the video is absolutely ugly, a new picture every 0,2 second you can see nothing of this very nice watch. i just see some very surprising gear tooth , this form is not adapted for non parallel axes, but as the video is too fast and very badly done I may be wrong . this kind of video is made by a so called "artist" in French a "communicant " : some people who knows nothing about nothing but speaks make video and son on ; Jason Quote Link to comment

[...] Well... it's a youtube video probably made by someone who is passionate with mechanical watches but with limited video editing skills. My point in sharing these videos was just giving an idea of what watch makers do because I think it's deeply amazing. If you search the watchmakers' website you'll find videos in HD Quote Link to comment

AnalogKid2DigitalMan Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 Sweet mechanisms. Here is a true atomic reference wristwatch, I don't think a ladies version is in the works, though. http://www.leapsecond.com/pages/atomic-bill/ Quote Link to comment

It says http://www.coolhunting.com/archives/2008/04/de_grisogono_me.php' rel='nofollow' target="_blank">here that there were 177 produced. I did find one site that claimed to have one for sale, it said "Call for price." I wonder if they would do a credit check on me before telling me how much it costs? Quote Link to comment
