Our friends at The Watches TV take on a variety of fascinating subjects in the wide world of horology, and in this video the team headed to Bunter SA to learn just what the term “invisible setting” means (hint: it is a complicated style of gem setting without visible prongs holding the gems so they look like they are floating).

Claude Sanz, owner of Bunter SA, who developed the technique and remains the leader in Switzerland, packs a lot of interesting facts and gemstone knowledge in this easily digestible three-minute video.
