That was one story about the luxury watch industry that was actually well done and not superficially silly like most of them are, the interview with Philippe Dufour and his daughter was good. Also with Max Busser.

I met Phillipe back in the 1990s. Really nice guy. Glad to see that he is still at it.

Really encapsulates the most important aspects of the industry, and the art, of watchmaking and makes it really accessible for all audiences.

This really encapsulates mechanical watchmaking in the past five decades. Time is an art. I lean toward the watches before the watch crisis era but appreciate the craft and art they have evolved to become.

Thanks, but no, there is a geo barrier preventing access, I could probably view it if I was to be arsed buggerising about with setting a VPN, but that would require me to actually be arsed to do it!

Dufour's teeth were very distracting.

Really captures the absurd genius behind the irrelevant purpose of this wonderful capture of science, math, craftsmanship, spirit and especially, artistry, that we all so love.
