Masters of Fine Watchmaking
« on: March 19, 2012, 08:43:33 PM »
Discovered this on another forum.

A series of beautiful short videos which showcases watchmaking at its finest. You can tell they are passionate about their craft.

My favourites:
The Guillocheur http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uN-zN8OLh_w
The Engraver http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sm1O1Y5F0UI
Check out the links and you'll get the rest of the series under the same channel.

The Watch Designer
Designing the case
The Movement Designer
The Dial Maker
The Hands Maker
The Enameller
The Strap Maker
The Stone-setter
The Crystal Maker

Unfortunately for Malaysia, this kind of job does not pay too well.
Look at most watch maker/repairer. What most Malaysian want is "cheap and good", hence not many choose this vocation in Malaysia.
