Quite interesting engine out landing video.

While he was cruising along, I decided I would take a particular field
as it looked longer than the rest. He then looked like he was setting
up a circuit into that same field, except far with the base leg far
too close in and he flew over it and seemed to barely make it over a
stone fence into the next one (maybe even touched it?).

If the propeller is connected to the crankshaft and the engine seized
why was it windmilling all the way to the ground?

Broken crank?

Can't quite see the relevance to "Bremont" watches:

Is it that you feel calmer in an emergency because you know that
you can look down at your wrist at the exact moment you plough
into a dry stone wall and be reassured that you know the correct
time it happened?

Doubt this was their intent, but this comes to mind:

"When asked what the first reaction to an emergency should be, an old
airline captain replied that he would reach up and wind the clock on the
instrument panel. There is a prevailing myth that says that pilots must
have ultra-fast reflexes to survive. The truth is that flying is much more
of a thinking game than a purely reactive one."

Why didn't he put the gear down? Base turn seemed way to low to me,
especially with no power.

He may have hit the stone wall. It was very very close.
