    Was wondering where you purchased your main work bench. I am a retired cabinet maker and restore old vintage watches. I enjoyed the tour. Thanks for any help

    • @thewatchmakersworkshop
      @thewatchmakersworkshop 11 часов назад

      I can't remember the makers name, but my main bench I work on was made in Chico CA by a cabinet maker. Jules Borel supplies great watchmaking benches in the USA and tools too.

    I really wished you would have given us viewers a sample of the wages of a watchmaker .. thanks for great video.

    • @thewatchmakersworkshop
      @thewatchmakersworkshop 11 часов назад

      Wages all depend on your skill level, individual qualifications, and the specific role you are working in or applying to. The location of the work is also a large factor in pay because of the cost of living. If you are qualified to work on high complications like perpetual calendars and up from prestigious makers then you will command a much higher wage than a watchmaker fresh out of school with a CFC or equivalent watchmaking certificate. The range is huge. You will find people working in watchmaking roles with pay between $30,000 to $300,000, but maybe more realistically in the $80k to $100k range with a watchmaking certificate and some real life experience.

    I’ve been enjoying all of your videos. You have an excellent teaching style and extensive in-depth knowledge. Do you cut your gears with the laser or is that a mechanical process. Love to see how those gears are made! Thanks.

    After all these years it still blows my mind how a watch can be worn daily for 30 years, then lie in a drawer for another 20, then be bought by me who sticks it on a timegrapher and it's out 30sec/day when only half wound! To put that in perspective, 30sec/day is 99.99965% accurate despite the treatment we subject a watch to just by wearing it. And I don't know of anything in regular life that comes close to that level of accuracy

    Your videos are SO well made. Awesome job. Love the slow methodical education, coupled with the videography to show what you are explaining. So appreciate the time you put into these videos. Your patience with explaining the workings of these mechanical watches is similar to the complexity of how these watches are made. There is SO much thought and work put into these, and most people just buy a Rolex and have no idea what they have on their wrist. Your videos really help me appreciate these timepieces - THANK YOU!

    another way to figure out what eye is dominant is to simply point with your finger at a specific spot on something that is distant from you. Close one eye, did the finger move? if so, closed eye is dominant, if not, open eye is dominant.

  • @killer13324
    @killer13324 Месяц назад

    Ok, so now i know what i can use to clean by hand. I do have a question regarding lubrication though, what oils would you recommend for someone who just wants to service their personal watches, just to get their feet wet in the hobby, but doesn't have a lot of money for the high end oils? Are there any lower cost alternative oils you can recommend?

    When Frederique Constant introduced the monolithic silicone escapement, they had to reduce the torque off the mainspring. They accomplished this by adding another wheel to the gear train. Supposedly that reduction doubled their power reserve.

    Horrible if your timepiece would fall from your wrist to the hard ceramic tile floor, unless you are wearing the only "God Tier" watch that has ever been produced in the world the warrior Casio "G-Shock"!
