Keeper of Time

This documentary was recommend by my dad because enjoys watches and when I watched it with him I was shocked. The quality and directing of the it was spectacular with beautiful watches and creations over the span of human history. I especially enjoyed all the wonderful places they visited throughout it and it was stunning to look at. Aside from that, I was blown away by the magnificent watches it showed and other clocks that were created way back in time. It was engaging and educating and leaves the watcher quaking with his watch. I would highly recommend this documentary to anyone of all ages.

If you, like me, adore a conversation with someone who is such a nerdy enthusiast about their topic of interest, this film is for you. Full disclosure: I could listen to anyone who loves their craft/hobby/collection and shares it with the historical and technical and artistry of that field for hours. And although time is not one of my particular interests, this film carried you along with the history and craftspersonship and conservation of clocks and watches. There is historical eye candy, and contemporary art. The engineering is amazing, but layered with the beauty of these pieces.... Remarkable stuff.

But it also touches on the human perceptions of time and the philosophy of time. It's not just precision nerds with loupes. It's the full package.

This film is worth your time.
