Title: Masters of Fine Watchmaking
Post by: HusH 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 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uN-zN8OLh_w)
The Engraver http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sm1O1Y5F0UI (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sm1O1Y5F0UI)
Check out the links and you'll get the rest of the series under the same channel.

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.
