Youtube playlist on wristwatches, 1

I'm experimenting with making playlists for myself on a specific topic.

For fun, I like watching videos on horology and specifically wristwatches.

They could be on repair or theory or reviews or interviews (with buyers or watchmakers or sellers) or state-of-the-industry commentary. I asked Gemini for a 2+ hour playlist based on these themes:

• review of a watch (or watches),
• repair and service of a watch,
• the science of horology,
• the watch industry,
• interviews with watch professionals.

Based on these themes, I asked Gemini to create a list of youtube video IDs that can use used in a playlist of this format:

It came up with this: playlist (click to play).

Here are the topics of the videos that Gemini selected:
