What a beautiful watch.

This is the first time I’ve watched you and throughly enjoyed the watch , no pun intended. I’ll be looking forward to seeing your next video.

Voltei aqui para dizer , acho que vou ter insônia e vertigens com esta pequena correia que parece ser correia de bicicleta, parabéns amei o vídeo❤ e seu exímio trabalho

Incredible work! Amazing

Meu Deus !!! ❤ parabéns ao restaueador👏👏👏 um trabalho digno feito igualmente como se interpretasse Johann Sebastian Bach, sem palavras❤

[47.44]: _"...and honestly it's kind of strange to think about how one day _*_we'll all be gone_*_ from this earth and..."_ And stranger still is the fact that one day time itself won't even exist, being replaced by an eternity of "perpetual-eternal-timelessness" *for all* mankind. “Seek the Lord *while He may be found.* Call on Him *while he is near"* Isaiah 55 v6 [Btw; nicely done and beautiful timepiece].

Show ✨

Well done Chris, I’m glad you added your own label as your repairs are worth noting. Maybe your video will be available to ancient archaeologists in 200 years. 😂😂

That’s not just a time piece, it’s a hand made work of art. Beautiful job on restoring it and I hope you left a note like the repairer from Scotland did.

How was the time-lapse effect achieved in this video?

Seeing all those cleaned up parts does put a smiley on my screen. From delicate restoration like this to the 1 ton axles made by abom79, I like these videos. So much more straightforward than my day job (software), but similar problem solving.

I'm always amazed by how many tiny pieces go into a watch and wonder who invented them all.

Having finished watching this video, I have to say that you, young man , are very talented. This is one of the best watch repair videos I've seen in a long time. As far as learning something from this video, yes, I did. That is to keep my big sausage fingers and shake hands away from this type of watch. Lol. Very nicely done, and what an incredible piece of history. Keep up the great work!

11:54 Really liked this shot. I have watched several of your videos now and the close-ups are really nice but I had been having a little trouble staring at my wristwatch and envisioning the size of all the little gears and stuff, but that shot really put it into perspective for me just how small all these parts are. Really am in awe of your knowledge and skill. Plus I am in love with all the old tools you showcase.

Just started watching this video and immediately fell in love just with the history of this watch. The stories it could tell are impossible to fathom. This is the most ornate work of art in a watch I've ever seen from that era. Truly exquisite.!

The word "complication" does not do this movement justice. Magnificent job.

I was wondering, why was the wind up ratchet that keeps the wind up key moving one direction not fitted to the square pin? The square hole for the square pin was way larger than the pin. Were they jammed together to fit, or what?

why don't you put your own little sigel paper in the back so watchmakers in 100 years can see that you were the last one to service it?

I think this was an excellent and instructive video. Thank you.

I love mechanical watches especially of this vintage think of all its seen imagine the stories it could tell if it could talk the people who have held it.🤔

King of Clock ,hello from Serbia 😊

Awesome…..keep it up…very interesting and educational

Super esatto

Riveting.

are those 2 red gears made of plastic ?

Esta genial los dedos con preservativo, para las ETS digitales ...Na , ahora sin broma . Un trabajo extraordinario

This might be a dumb question but since you are so close to precise at 3 minutes a day, would adjusting the fast/slow feature on the watch improve its accuracy or is it impossible to make a difference?

2:32 Gold for sure and some kind of hard alloy, because brass would have tarnish no doubt but this is still perfect.

That was a lot of work. Good Stuff Boss 🫡🤝

Talking is better IMHO thanks 🙏

I think the most amazing things are the crude tools that it must have been built with…and the fact that its accurate to 3 minutes a day 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

Hoy desperte viendo este video y jamas paso por mi mente que estaba observando unos de los mejores videos sobre relojes de bolsillo!!! Muchas gracias por este regalo...!!!

I remember the first time I tried fixing a repeater. No instructions, no tutorials, for some reason I was just not able to find them at the time. I was able to figure out how things worked and eventually (with enough literal blood, sweet and tears) I got the watch fixed and resorted, it was a 1920s student watch practice that keep jamming. One tip I learned is you should never guarantee work on a repeater like this, all the little adjustable components tend to drift over time and you will need to break into it again. Also nice job in the teeth. I always found wheel cutting to be the most difficult part of watchmaking, and I am looking for better alternatives.

I love that you play harpsichord music during the cleaning. Also, I've spun a few camshafts in my life, but those screws...

If the crystal popped out(I dropped the crystal and ring) how do you get it back in? It’s glass so I don’t want to try popping it in. I was thinking about heating the ring in some very hot water to expand the ring then placing the crystal into the space and letting it cool and shrink down. Is that a thing? Thermodynamically it makes sense but I’m not sure of the process.

Wow!

Video was dropped only FOUR days ago.. Seems like I've had to wait an eternity for uninterrupted time to view... Such a cool way to unwind in the evening... I appreciate your respectful, sympathetic work done on this piece.. Thanks again for incredible content.

nice job

Nice work! Some of these watches were made with diamond endstone bearings..did this one have it (I could not see). Thanks!

Marin county has some beautiful mountain biking!

I hope you added your own slip of paper into the watch case to record your repairs! It would be cool to keep a running history in there. Thank you for the great video.

I had some form of railroad pocket watch, or train 🚆 watch, until I dropped 🫳 it, breaking the balance staff. The pocket watch costed me $80.00. I had it cleaned and oiled 🛢 for $110.00. It's going to cost me $300.00 to have the balance staff (and balance wheel) custom made. I'm not even sure if I'm considering saving the watch or not. It's been in my parts bin since 2018 or so. Could you help me on a balance staff? Your friend, Jeff.

Nice work awesome watch. 🫡

Awesome work. Simply brilliant how much time & patience was invested in the work without counting the research & the master watchmaker who helped you. Ninety attempts to engage the chain is unbelievable & the work to adjust the watch, make the brass bolts & screws yourself & then bluing the screws is a true masterpiece no matter how old the watch is. Thank you for this great work & the upload of this watchmaking craft. Again a true Masterpiece of work & patience. All the best.

I think I managed to time my 1814 Fusee to lose 1 minute per day. How‘s that? Edit: Also it has a seconds hand.

Nice to have the tools and knowledge . So was it Howard or Dennisson who can up with the interchange of parts ?

Класс!!!!

Just picked up an Elgin A-11 and hoping to try my hand at learning this as a hobby. Disabled veteran needing something I can do with my hands while sitting. Thank you for these videos.
