  It was about time that these people got the recognition they deserve.

  I like how Cameron goes out of his way several times to explain that he's standing on the shoulders of the amazing work of previous watchmakers who designed these marvelously complex movements.

  When I first saw a Weiss in the I wild I asked the gentleman “is that a Weiss?” He then simply took it off his wrist and handed it to me for an up close and personal look at it. He knew it was an if you know, you know situation and trusted me with it.

  There’s a lot of integrity here, appreciate the transparency of where all the parts come from.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-f3TS7pwc3A&amp;t=650">10:50</a> that level of humbleness to make sure several times during the video to admit the majority of the design was not acredited to you; is just rare now days

  This was fantastic. I&apos;m one of the younger set and a self-taught sewing machine mechanic. I&apos;m self taught b/c (at least in my area) none of the &quot;old guys&quot; are still around. There was no one left to train under. The saddest part to me is that even after learning these skills on my own, I don&apos;t see myself teaching this to someone just coming up in the world. In my region, there are too many people who see a job where they might get their hands dirty as utterly beneath them.<br><br>I am a forensic scientist in my day job and repair donated sewing machines as a volunteer at a local charity shop. My machines all go out on the floor clean, inspected, repaired, lubed, and adjusted. Now, the shop can charge more for something that absolutely works. All the money earned goes toward the local foodbank and to buying toys for kids at Xmas.

  I met Cameron when he worked at AP, and then later toured Weiss. &nbsp;He is the real deal, and a heck of cool person.

  As a machinist teacher, I love showing my students videos like this before we hit the workshop. &nbsp;It humbles and inspires. &nbsp;It shows what is possible with the right amounts patience, attention to detail, hard work, and skill. &nbsp;Thank you all that allowed this to be filmed in your workshops, you are helping to inspire another generation of tradespeople.

  Makes me happy that there is a place for master craftsmen in the world still,<br>that they can make a living doing what they do so well.

  Mr Weiss&apos;s brutal honesty is a godsend.
