That was really fun to watch. And it's a little bit harder now to complain about how much service costs. I'll probably still manage though. :P

I can' help but wonder if all Omega service centers put this much care into a service... I highly doubt your run of the mill jeweler would though, which would probably explain the price difference.

Fascinating clip, thank you.

And you and Omega have introduced me to Zhang Ziyi too. That won't be easy to get over. What eyes.

Is the music for watchmaking video clips all written by the same computer?

As you say, these videos are compelling to watch.

mesmerising.
what i marvel at is the fact that as soon as the balance wheel is replaced it just leaps into life - as if movement is just inherent in the mechanism.

Apologies for my flippant remark earlier. I should qualify it. The clips themselves are often superb, as it this one, but the soundtracks...could do better! :D

agreed that there seems to be generic watch dismantling music used across the industry!

Thanks for sharing the link with us. This really explains why service cost are as high as they are and why it takes some time to service a watch. The balance wheel is the most fascinating part, indeed.

I don't mind the soundtrack, it's got a björkesque sound, hasn't it. Of course, Björk light or Björk for beginners :D.

Edit: No, it isn't björkesque at all. That must have been a different video :oops:.
