A small, round, blue-grey disk with two white circular indicators and a textured surface is delicately placed onto the movement using rose gold-colored tweezers. The disk covers some of the underlying gears and jewels. After placement, the tweezers are used to subtly adjust its position to ensure perfect alignment. The background is a clean, bright white, highlighting the watch components. The lighting is uniform, revealing the fine textures and metallic finishes. The color palette features cool blues and grays of the disk against the silver and magenta of the movement, accented by the gold-toned tweezers, emphasizing the watch's sophisticated design.
0:43watchmaker checking alignment A medium close-up shot captures the watchmaker at his workbench. He wears a white work coat with black trim and black finger cots, with the watchmaker's loupe over his right eye. He holds a watch component with both hands, inspecting it closely through the loupe. He then lifts his head, stretching slightly, and looks up and to the right, perhaps taking a brief break or checking a reference, before bringing his attention back to his work. The background is softly blurred, showing typical workshop elements. The workbench has a light brown surface with a white mat. The lighting is soft and focused on the subject, emphasizing his concentration. The color palette is dominated by muted professional tones, highlighting the watchmaker's steady hands and precise movements.
0:47placing watch dial An extreme close-up shot shows hands, covered in black finger cots, carefully lowering a circular watch dial onto the watch movement, which is held in a black circular stand. The dial is a deep, rich blue with an intricate geometric patterned texture and features three sub-dials for day, date, and month/moon phase. The 'IWC SCHAFFHAUSEN' logo is prominently displayed at the top. The sub-dials have silver indices and lettering. The background is a clean white, making the watch face stand out. The lighting is bright and even, accentuating the fine details and luxurious finish of the dial. The color palette is dominated by the deep blues and silver of the watch face, contrasted with the black finger cots, conveying elegance and precision.
0:51adjusting day dial An extreme close-up shot focuses on the watch's deep blue dial, which has been placed on the movement. The left sub-dial, displaying days of the week, is the primary focus. A thin, pointed pair of tweezers carefully touches a small, white triangular marker on the sub-dial, gently rotating it to adjust the day indicator. The 'IWC SCHAFFHAUSEN' logo is visible at the top of the dial. The textured surface of the main dial and the silver indices of the sub-dial are clearly visible. The lighting is bright and crisp, emphasizing the precision of the adjustment. The color scheme is rich blues and silver, highlighting the fine craftsmanship of the timepiece.
0:55setting watch hands and dials A sequence of extreme close-up shots meticulously details the process of setting the watch's hands and intricate perpetual calendar sub-dials. The watch dial, a rich blue with a textured pattern and 'IWC SCHAFFHAUSEN' branding, is held in a black circular stand. Different tools are used in succession: a small, dark grey pressing tool carefully pushes down a central pin on the watch face; then, a thin pair of silver tweezers precisely places a small, silver minute hand onto the right sub-dial (date indicator); followed by the pressing tool securing it. This is repeated for the month/moon phase sub-dial and then the main hour hand and minute hand, each carefully positioned and pressed into place. The camera frequently shifts focus to the specific area being worked on. The lighting is consistently bright, accentuating the metallic sheen of the hands and the deep blue of the dial. The color palette is dominated by cool blues, silvers, and grays, with the black tools providing contrast, underscoring the precision and elegance of the watchmaking process.
1:43final assembly and inspection This sequence alternates between medium close-ups of the watchmaker and extreme close-ups of the watch, showing the final stages of assembly and inspection. The watchmaker, wearing a loupe and black finger cots, meticulously works on the watch with precision tools. He first inspects the assembled dial, then a close-up shows the watch being carefully lowered onto a black stand, showcasing its complete, intricate blue face within a polished silver case. Another close-up reveals the open back of the watch, highlighting the complex internal mechanism, as a small screw is tightened. The watchmaker's gloved hands are seen placing the clear back cover and then removing the fully assembled watch from the stand for final inspection through his loupe. The scene concludes with an extreme close-up of the watch's metal clasp being secured. The lighting is consistent, bright and clear, emphasizing the fine details of the watch and the careful movements of the watchmaker. The color palette maintains the cool, luxurious tones of silver, deep blue, and black.
