Marc LevesqueHOST
Yeah, the Valjoux 7750 is a remarkable movement.
Marc LevesqueHOST
And when you think about what other brands have done with it, like IWC and their grand complication based off of that movement, I mean, they wouldn't have chose it if it wasn't a spectacular movement in its own right.
Marc LevesqueHOST
So yeah, that's a really great video.
Jonathan BordellGUEST
Yeah, and it works.
DickHOST
Right.

Riste SimnjanovskiHOST
And that guy should ring a bell.
Riste SimnjanovskiHOST
Your ears should perk up.
Riste SimnjanovskiHOST
Blumlein is the guy who ran IWC and Jeje Le Côte.
Riste SimnjanovskiHOST
And he understood exactly what was being attempted here.
Markus HansenSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Similar story, uh, you know, high single digit top line, great margins in the 30 plus percent for this business even more.
Markus HansenSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And then the business also ha- finally just add, has a, uh, high-end watch business Uh, these are watch brands like Vacheron Constantin, Jaeger-LeCoultre, um, those two in particular, IWC, Piaget.
Markus HansenSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
The...
Markus HansenSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
You'd think with the advent of Apple Watches and smart watches, uh, no one's wearing, but in fact, it's the opposite.
Andy ClarkeGUEST
when they would have kind of sales events or new product launches or all this kind of stuff.
Andy ClarkeGUEST
So I've always had a bit of a soft spot for Schaffhausen, which is why I'm wearing an IWC watch as well, because they're based in Schaffhausen.
Andy ClarkeGUEST
But this thing is absolutely incredible.
Andy ClarkeGUEST
It's just a kind of a reminder of not only kind of what I used to do all those years ago, but, you know, The stuff that we did and had to use to take pictures, even as, you know, as little time ago as the 90s.

Brad FrostHOST
There's an appreciation of craft, But there's also just the fact that these things come from a certain time and a certain place.
Andy ClarkeGUEST
Certain place.
Andy ClarkeGUEST
You know, I'm wearing an expensive IWC watch.
Andy ClarkeGUEST
You know, I could have bought any number of luxury watch brands, but, you know, a Rolex or an AP or, you know, whatever makes no sense whatsoever.
Gabe OppenheimGUEST
They made toothpaste, they made buses, um, good manufacturing town.
Gabe OppenheimGUEST
It for, like, it kinda was a Rust Belt city that, that sort of declined for twenty-something years and one of the ways that it's, it's come back is as the, I-- what I say, the best maker of clone Patek, Rolex, and AP movements in the world, um, and also IWC.
Gabe OppenheimGUEST
They, they took an IWC chronograph that has more than four hundred parts and cloned it, and obviously, not all of the parts are finished anywhere near to the same standard, and I'm not saying that the hairspring is the same alloy.
Gabe OppenheimGUEST
That being said, that movement is so close one to one.
Gabe OppenheimGUEST
It is an amazing feat of reverse engineering, but that's a sidetrack.
