A watch is a mechanical microcosmos. It represents one of the highest mechanical levels ever achieved by mankind, and that is reflected directly in the market prices. It is not unusual for one watch to sell for half a million dollars. The Fine Art of Watch Making takes us to Dresden, Germany and the hometown of watches, Geneva, Switzerland to visit some of the finest and most expensive watch factories in the world, such as: A. Lange & Söhne, Patek Phillippe, Jaeger le-Coultre, Vacheron Constantin, Audemars Piguet, IWC, and F.P Journe.
The program follows the making of a watch from the carving and polishing of tiny, almost invisible parts, to the finished work of art, thereby giving a fascinating insight into the production of these mechanical micro masterpieces in these world famous factories. Some consider the mechanical watch to be the only appropriate jewelry accessory for men, and the wristwatch has never been more popular than it is now. Interestingly, the mechanical watch began to fade from the market during the 1970s, with the onset of cheap, Japanese quartz models. Fortunately the passion for the state of the art mechanics was larger than the lust for modern technology and precision. This documentary sheds light on the making of these micro mechanical wonders and illuminates this special tradition and craft, which has miraculously survived against all odds.

I love this documentary. It sits on my desk and gets viewed often. My only regret is that I cannot watch this with my children as there is about 20 seconds that is unnecessary and mildly offensive.
Great for newbies
