great video, thanks for posting!

"they will remember your name for 500 years".... "I can't remember who made the first one"

yeah, I caught that irony too. College professors, lol. I do admire the guy for the large amount of effort he put into the presentation though. I mean he disassembled and re-assembled parts of a watch in front of the class, not to mention the slides and models. Pretty sweet.

Is there a way to view this without Flash?

I haven't found a way, but you could try downloading it with youtube-dl or get-flash-videos
