Hi All,

I’m looking for recommendations of good watch-related content to stream (YouTube, Prime, Netflix).
I’ve just watched “The Watchmakers Apprentice” about George Daniels and Roger Smith. It was pretty good but I wanted more detail on how the escapement worked. You can stream it on Netflix or Amazon Prime.

Anything you’d recommend?

Cheers,

Simon

That documentary is a bit weird.

YouTube is your friend, I think. The ‘rwsmithwatches’ channel perhaps a good place to start.

Agreed, the voiceover was far too sycophantic. Thanks for the YouTube suggestions.

It’s a shame because the actual content is pretty good.

I can’t stand the watch finder stuff on YouTube. It’s the same, takes it all far too seriously.
