Read this on SJX: Watchmaker hours spent per watch, for each brand
By: lm6 : December 1st, 2022-19:20
There is of course many objections that can be raised about an article like this. But reading it as a very generalised and in many ways simplified way of looking at different brands, I found it quite interesting. This message has been edited by India Whis...
thanks for pointing this out

with the exception of JLC, that actually maps very well on my view of the watch world. Best Andreas
I'd say one more exception:

GO! Don't want to ruffle any feathers here but their stuff looks and feels to me a lot more like stuff in the "Industrial Fine Watchmaking" group than the "Industrial Haute Horlogerie" group.
I used to own a GO

I used to own a panomatic lunar. While the finishing is exceptional in its market price range, it is no where near ALS level or most of the brands in "Industrial Haute Horlogerie" group. They tried to do a lot of decoration stuff, but most of them are jus...

Both SJX and the author of this article are Purists. I believe you met the author last year in NYC if I recall correctly.

Always appreciated these SJX articles on finishing, engineering etc. interesting to see Journe and Lange as major outliers, leaving patek and AP in the dust (so to speak)
I'd say this is in line with my observations and collection

Funny I love high finishing as a visual spectacle and to respect the hand made/luxurious nature of these pieces, but my best piece by far is my rolex ND or omega speedy auto. This is in regards to construction feel, chronicity, and taking whatever I throw...
SJX once again showing that they are the best in the business

Whether or not you appreciate the premise of the article, I don't see the other mainstream publications putting out content this interesting. Fabulous read, props to Brandon. My two favorite articles (both co-authored by Moore): watchesbysjx.com watch...
Surprising FPJ is that high

I've always associated them with horological innovation and design aesthetics, and would have placed their finishing more at the level of patek than Lange and Laurent Ferrier.
Wouldn't we all....

I think I'll have to take a serious discussion with Santa Claus!
This is perhaps the most accurate article that echos my thoughts.

Sure we could nitpick here or there, but overall well written, nicely organized data, and it shows a metric that a basic to the more experienced enthusiasts can understand. Imho this is especially true as modern horology is really bringing forward amazing...
