    Request: -Can you make a video about watches from the brand Ebel? I love some of their watches like the 1911 BTR QP and the 1911 Tekton chrono. I havn't found a decent video about them although several major football clubs love their watches and I personally think they are beautiful! Cheers, keep up the good work!

  • @thewristwatchexperience8153

    It seems to me that the outsourced movement vs quartz, vs In-house automatic movements affects the customers' perception based on their philosophy on buying the time piece. Is it jewelry? is it art? is it a necessity? or is it all of them? the more in depth you know about watches, the less satisfied you tend to be with 'less complicated' production processes involved in the making of the watch.

    Those quartz Breitling aviation watches were so cool when I was growing up in the 80s. Huge ads in the Financial Times proclaimed this as the watch for the adventurer. That and the Tag Heuer S/el with those gorgeous links on the bracelet and the association with Ayrton Senna. Both the S/el with its iconic links & the Breitling Emergency were designed by the same guy, Eddie Schopfer.

Bracelet cuts, no brushing on the eta caliber, dust or paint on hour marker, no way to regulate seconds and a long hair on the back of the glass.. when I look at my 89 euros 20433 invicta I was suprised that it had none of these issues.
