Anything in Canada?

Such a beautiful video, highly underrated channel. As a watchmaker I really appreciate your videos, they really convey the spirit of watchmaking.

wauw awesome info .... i am going to scool to become a watchmaker in holland this is so inspiring!!!!!

At 11:38 you say that "we really don't need a watch". True. I could live without a watch, but I would not live without a watch. They are not so much a luxury for me, as much as a tool.

Thank you Cameron for the kind words.

Im still waiting for my family discount !!!

Hi Cameron, I’m starting on my journey to learn watch making as a hobby to basically repair and restore vintage watches. Just wanted to ask, what solvent was you using to manually clean the watch parts?

This feels like a movie

Would watchmakers generally have movement holders for the more common inexpensive commodity watches? For instance, would you have a holder for the 4R36 movement in my Seiko 5 Sport? Then again, and this is getting into a completely different question, might it be that working on a movement like that may not even be financially feasible? Perhaps it would make more sense to simply replace it if it has a problem.

What about the veterans watchmakers?

I've noticed that my mechanical watches, when not worn for a while, usually stopped during the date change but would run for a bit if I advanced the hands past the time when the date change would occur. I've always suspected that toward the end of the power reserve in the mainspring that there wasn't enough energy to run both the movement and the date change complication. Thanks for the explanation. I love your videos, I'm learning a lot about watches and watchmaking.

the north seattle watchmaker course is minimum $36,000 usd per year. the program is 2 years. whats the salary for a new watchmaker thats in about 80 thousand dollars in debt? how many years would it take to pay that off if your salary is lets say.... generously 70k a year. there are far too many other expenses to have watchmaker school even be a reasonable choice at the cost of training and tools.

Absolutely beautiful videos. I'd love to know more about how the escape wheel, pallet fork and balance wheel interact.

Cameron the point we dislike doing the same operation, manufacturing, assembly, cleaning, packing & shipping etc. is when we become artist and perform our insight for the grateful public to the very point the public pay to have our gift. Appreciate!

I like the style of your videos. So calm and floating. Congratulations to your success building an American watch company with everything in-house! I am pondering which watch my next one should be. Sinn U 50 or the Weiss Automatic. I am a fan of good lume. Would you say the lume on your watches is very good? Greetings from Germany. 🕐⚙️🍸

Sliding pinions being challenging to make, do you wear a bracelet made of rejects?

Thanks for answering my question about which CNC machine you recommend. I loved the suggestion of a manual lathe with a milling attachment. If you can make parts with that, you can make parts with anything. I appreciate it!

I love these Q&A's. Particularly excited for the next iteration of the Weiss in-house movement. I just finished completely restoring a 1973 VW Beetle, and a 1975 Honda CB550f Super Sport. I can't think of anything more gratifying than bringing back to life an old, warn out machine, and making it more reliable than when it was new.

I can imagine the balance wheel and sliding pinion being a nightmare to make. I guess when working on that scale to differences come down to a few micron. I agree with you on the lathe point. I am not that strong on the CNC part but I can help myself on a milling machine and lathe. Thank you for answering my Land rover question! They have so much personality and they make great companions! Awesome advice and answers as usual Cameron!

How do I prevent my loop from fogging up??

Your discussion of whether a treasured watch is really the same after having many parts replaced brings to mind the "Ship of Theseus" paradox of ancient Greek mythology & philosophy: Is it the same ship after hundreds of years of maintenance have replaced all the parts?

Cameron, Really fascinating! You have a wealth of knowledge way beyond what you learned at watchmaking school. Thank you for sharing! Your comments on how watches used to be made are fascinating. That's a whole world gone now. It's hard for us in 2024 to envision that world of yesteryear without someone like you. You are so very gifted and have worked so very hard. I admire you. By the way, I love your philosophy of watchmaking. I don't like a cluttered dial, and I think there is much value in 18,000 per hour for a mechanical watch. Before I met your field watches, I've loved working on Hamilton 982M (retired and 65 years old). I now have a goal to one day maybe own a Weiss! Thank you for your Q&A sessions--for caring enough to share. Blessings! David Lee

Your answer for the second question immediately made me think of the German 3/4 plate.

Should released a full featured film.

Good video well done is There any chance to see you fault finding or servicing a watch many thanks Pete

Superb video. I liked it a lot. Good to know whats going on under the bonnet(hood!).

Count me in the email list for the "Weiss Secret Issue 1 breath SCUBA Watch". Excellent choice for a bond feature. Hahaha.

Thank you 🙏

These videos are great.

Thank you 🙏

The way you talk is elegant and relaxing. Nobody talks like that in RUclips, you’re unique. Totally love it

These videos are just great.

Cameron, your concise, clear overview is outstanding and greatly appreciated. Thank you for putting these videos together.

What about Tick Tock Tech, which I heard about on the Rocky & Bullwinkle show? 😃

What is the beautiful piano music at 1:11?

i like to study there to become a legit watchmaker. i hope so

It seems the US and Europe is really the only way to get an education and qualifications in this field. I’ve reached out to nearly every watchmaker, and watch and clock groups. I’ve been rejected as an apprentice. I’ve had my membership for official watchmaker groups and associations refunded to me because I don’t work in the industry. Here in Australia, my only option has been self learning and online courses, while sufficient to some degree, do not offer any official certifications nor does self learning give me a real chance to learn apart from coming across my own problems along the way in a movement I might have purchased with some known and unknown problems to diagnose and resolve.

Listening to him speak and explain watches and the way they work is very relaxing. I like this guy.

Please viewers be respectful. You plumbs.

Very informative, I never k knew what the jewels purpose was .I thought it was for balance. Great explanation for a time piece lover.

American watch manufactures already moved to Swiss, no better choice than Swiss ones

Cameron, Wow! I'm just learning watchmaking, and I very much love your channel and like your easy-going personality and worldview on watchmaking. I have a question. If I buy an ETA Valjoux, top grade, glucydur balance movement for about $495.00 off eBay, do I need to take it apart and lubricate it myself, or does it come lubricated? Thanks, David Lee
