I like videos similar to this, but without an irritating the tune in the background. For example, I've enjoyed reading and learning about the work of Roger Smith: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/magazine-24211691/the-man-who-makes-100000-watches

The ink in the letters looked a little splotchy at 4:26. Send it back and get it right you slackers!

It looks like I'll need to start submitting more videos again, after all the comments I've seen. It's been hard lately. I youtube for hours, but the content has not been so great the past few months.

It's amazing how much craftsmanship goes into these watches only for them to turn out as truly ugly as they do

  Some things are done for practical and aesthetic reasons. And some things are done purely in pursuit of producing the finest and most sophisticated version of something possible. Like that super expensive cut of steak the Japanese love. What’s it called? Wagu or something. As they say, it’s not about the final product per se, it’s about what went into producing the final product. Remember that guy who made a hamburger 100% scratch? Had to grow his own wheat, milk and butcher his own cows, etc etc. basically the same thing I’d say, but more engineerngly geeky.
