That video focuses on the assembly of one of fanciest and most complicated Patek Philippe watches ever made. You can read more about it here: hodinkee.com Patek Philippe is considered one of the greatest watchmakers and is still private and family owned. In the mid 2000s and early 2010s they expanded their production, as well as introducing more complicated movements into sportier stainless steel cases which historically they'd been reluctant. Some purists have complained the QC quotient declined then and have listened to compelling anecdotal evidence supporting that. Nevertheless, something as fancy as what you posted is not made on their "assembly line", if you can call it that and likely a different section if not separate building altogether but don't quote me on that! :-) One of my favorite brands is Lange in Germany and long part of the Richemont luxury conglomerate based in Switzerland. alange-soehne.com They have a practice of assembling the watch, testing it, and then disassembling it, reassembling and testing it again before unleashed unto the public. Unaware of any other noteworthy brand using the same process.
