My grandpa was a watch restorer. He'd get watches sent from all over the world to repair and I sit on the step by his shed and watch him. This video has reminded me of great times growing up. Thank you.
He must of been a clever man, watch restoration is like been a surgeon, the work of art really is magnificent talent
@@puddlespickles8810 He was. He had a mechanical mind and could turn his hand to anything but clock repair was his biggest joy.
Hope you'd learnt a thing or two from your grandpa :)
Kudos to your gramps! ❤️What an amazing skill. It made me neurotic just watching so I'd have to sedate myself to deal with all those micro parts!
Mine too. He was an engineer in the war, had stories from far flung places all over the world. Could turn his hand to anything. Growing up, I genuinely believed my grandpa could make anything
3:43 "It's a very simple movement." Procedes to remove 10,000 small gears, springs, screws and plates.
I totally stressed out when he pulls the big windy looking spring out.
Trust me, as a watchmaker I can tell you this movement is really simple
BAAAAHAHAHAHAHA! EXACTLY!
My same thought
👍
Moment of silence for the people that figured out how to make a damn watch.
For real, I had no idea how complex it was on it inside, I always thought there were just a few cogs. What's up with that spiral thing? How did the creators come up with this whole contraption? It's like old school mechanics.
Astounding isn't it?!
My father in law was a horologist and actually made me a watch it still works! I now appreciate just how much work went into that and will treasure it even more
they never would have existed I'm guessing without people building on and progressing the work of others. well that or Da Vinci levels of genius.
Yep im aaaaamazed every time
My father was a jeweller, watchmaker/ repairer. I love hearing your children in the background it reminds me of my childhood and watching (pardon the pun) my father work his magic on watches that no one wanted to try and repair. You truely remind me of my father and how clever he was repairing watches and jewellery. Thankyou for making me smile and reminisce. God bless you
Your welcome
Ditto! Love hearing Nekkid’s kids and, especially, some of their extremely-humorous comments!
I often long for the days when items were made that could be repaired. The evironment is being ruined by our throw away society.
Including relationships 😞
Hear hear
Totally agree.
Things could be repaired more often, but sometimes it's almost cheaper to buy a new one. Also, years ago, people would do their own repairs, my dad repaired all kinds of things but sadly those skills are being lost because no one bothers anymore.
You can still buy things that can be repaired, it just takes some research, time, and usually more money.
The goddamn algorithm gave me a watch restoration video and here I am, 5 hours later, still watching watch restoration videos. 😫😑😑👍🏾
Bit addictive aren’t they. Pure restful magic
Yea, IT GOTCHYA 2 EH ??

I'm not sure how I got here, either, but I'm enthralled. 🙂
😝🤣😂😅😁!! You've caught the bug! 😆😁😀😎👍
Yes , I’ve become an addict for sour dough bread demos , never made one , but I certainly know how
I don’t know how on Earth you ever remembered where all these tiny pieces went! Looks beautiful!
same thing i was thinking while watching the vid LOL
It gets easier to remember once you’ve disassembled a movement a couple hundred times because you forgot something. It eventually gets easier, you learn where things go. ;) I just repaired my first watch as a hobby, it’s quite fun.
This is the first video I've seen of him, I think its less remembering where they go, but his knowledge on how a watch works, that let's him know where everything goes
Some film a video when they disassembling it and they play it on backwards to see how to put it together again :)
@@NomadicPhoton did you replace the battery by yourself ! 😄
I’ve worked for Cartier, and I’ve never heard such a well described history on Cartier Tank as you did in this video. You are the best 👍👍❤️ love your videos. See you bringing this watch back to live is a fantastic and refreshing experience. Thank you the work you do for all this magnificent pieces.
Thanks Marc, always nice to hear positive feedback from people who have worked for these brands
I was stressed before watching this but it calmed me down. Really appreciate your posting these vids of your amazing talent.
I too watch videos like this when my anxiety is high, don’t know why but it puts me at ease.
I was aggravated at my boss, this chilled me out.
Yes, very relaxing to watch.
@@brownfox2292 There are some great scale modelling channels as well that I find particularly good.
I also enjoy watching his videos very relaxing
I felt like I was watching a surgeon performing heart surgery. Amazing!
Heart surgery isn‘t nearly as subtle. You can compare it to middle ear surgery, just as complicated and everything is minuscule and extremely fragile.
Me too!!
Indeed!!
You think heart surgeons sing the shaky hands song as well??
Just in heart surgery if you mess up a valve or two..then theres no going back
I'm a person that can break parts during a diesel engine rebuild, so it's really therapeutic to watch these videos.
Sir, in a world were everything is so chaotic this is like therapy....watching art in progress, seeing someone with love for what he is doing and creating something looking so bad into a piece of art.....respect.
Thanks mate
Amazing work! And thank you for the Spider Man song! It brought me back memories.
If we are not appreciating the dance moves at ~ 7:08 we are not truly living
No way in heaven would I have been able to put that back together. Watchmaking/repair is truly an art form.
I fully agree!While my children always have said, "Dad can fix anything!" I know where my limits are. Even if I had all of the necessary tools, this would be WAY beyond my skill set. You Sir are a very talented person!!!!
It is very easy if you work with it
Just looking at those tiny screws gave me the shivers...
Today it's probably easier than before, due to cheap and full HD video filming. Anyway, I'm sure they start with the easiest watches and then they move to more complicated. It's a learning process, like everything else.
This Is way he recording all the procedure 😛😛 If I do it this I will see the video backwards to put it together 🤣
“I have my emo and troubled daughter helping me today” this guy is too funny
I had an emo troubled daughter, now I have a heavily tattooed therapist daughter. 😍😍😍😃😃😃
"I have my emo daughter and trouble helping me today" the trouble is the little kid lol
Omg I didn’t hear that part! Only the “I have my litter helper here with me” and I thought that was cute lol
@@Snowboardergirl1455 about 9 minutes in he posts it 😆
Super restoration by an absolute master🙏🏻great watch . Thanks.
He does magnificent work, and like everybody has said many times, how the heck does he know where all those tiny little pieces go!!!!
I don't usually comment on these kind of videos but I felt compelled to say I'm extremely impressed with this mans work(and I like the fact he trusted his children to help him)
Thanks Chris
And the patience to teach and involve them
“Sometimes you just have to know when to stop” ....... words to live by
The words I needed to hear today (and yes, every day).
Says his hands are so shaky, as he puts a nearly microscopic screw into place with tweezers!!!..... Legend!
That was impressive ! You have a lot of patience! Great job ! Entertainment for us to see your expert skills !
Has anyone ever marveled at the intricate “brain” of a watch? This video went beyond just a restoration; this was a physics class! 👍 Outstanding!
Chemistry too!!!
@Customcalendars4u2 : Excellent comment; you are spot on! Yes, the human brain is even more complex and intricate than anything else in this world, and all the thanks of its amazing capacities, goes to our God, for His Love and Generosity in creating Man.
What an exercise in patience and diligence, combined with expertise and general good humor. Hats off to Nekkid Watchmaker, keeping in mind that this was always a luxury product, and worthy of the level of craftsmanship he displays.
You're an artist, professional and primarily such a kind guy. I Hope You, somehow, read this comment and I wish You, with all my honest, all the best. For You and Your closest ones.
This video blew me away 2 years ago and I still can’t stop watching these. Thank you sir!
Your helpers will remember this for the rest of their lives. I try to include my little ones as much as I can in my video making also. Good for you. It's great to see the next generation absorb these sorts of skills.
The Guitologist thanks mate.
no one cares, youngs just live in the world of momentaneous consuption
@@pedromesquita2780 Give me the child until he is 7 and I will show you the man - Aristotle. Keep doing what you're doing NW. They may not grow up to be watchmakers but they will have learned how to love and to care and so much more from their father.
Lol, Brad I see you all over youtube. Anywhere from news and politics to luthiery to watches and various mechanical tinkering type channels.
why are you blaming "society"? Blame companies that purposefully sabotage their products so it won't BE worth it to get the item repaired. and instead by a new one all over. When youre poor, thats just the lifestyle you can afford. You decant afford to buy longer lasting products because they have a higher upfront cost. Its not wrong for people to survive the best they can when companies aren't upholding their moral responsibility to make products that last so there won't be so much waste to begin with. Their greed has lead to environmental catastrophe. Not the consumers.
It looks like they fished that watch out of the Titanic

Once again you’ve saved another classic Jem!
Thanks for the interesting restoration!
"This has a simple movement". Proceeds to take it apart into 57 pieces.
Jab over.. I was literally enthralled for 26 minutes straight. What an intricate profession. Really.. it is just incredible.
Ppppp

It is a simple movement... after watching like ~100 watch repair/restoration/service videos you will start to recognise the pieces. Well, apart from screws, I still don't know how to recognise which one goes where.
Oh sweet Jesus. I held my breath watching all those small parts being removed.
I agree.. Especially those screws😲
Dear slab...
👍👌👏 Me too, definitely!
Best regards, luck and health.
Words cannot express how impressed I am with your work. I recently had to send my TAG Heuer to the factory for a repair and it was very expensive. After watching you work, I will never again complain how expensive watch repair is.
A TAG isn't worth repairing.
Insane to think that at a lower level, they aren’t that much less complex but somehow they cost a fraction of that to fix.
@@filmbuff000 if you don't like my option feel free to prove me wrong. Telling someone to shut up makes you look like a sniveling, booger-faced child. Grow up.
@@filmbuff000 wipe your boogers. My comment was like 5 or 6 words and not nearly enough to convey what you claim. Are you 12 years old or something?
@@filmbuff000 TAG isn't a luxury brand it's just above swiss army and I'd actually prefer a Swiss army to be honest.
Good work. I work at a Jewelry repair shop in carefree az. We do some watch work but send most of it out to out 2 watchmakers.
My grandfather was a Horologist and had a school of horology in Phoenix in the 40s and 50s. He always tried to teach me the trade but i was to busy chasing boys. Now i regret it daily.
I just love watching the work being done.
I love that moment when yo put the balance wheel back in and the watch's heart begins to beat again.... wonderful!
My favorite moment as well!
the most impressive thing is how this person works with such baggy gloves
Fascinating! Hope you have an apprentice or someone that you’re sharing your restoration knowledge with! An art form for sure!!
I am in awe of your skill and patience.
Also, I for one love the commentary. And the interruptions by your little assistant!
Agreed
+1.... Havent used that in a while 🤙🏻
If you're doing a special silent edition, I think you can continuously comment (and sing) in the regular editions
Me too
Thanks guys
The disassembly I understood ... the reassembly ... impossible. Terrific informative video. What an extraordinary restoration.
When you unwound the spring, I thought, well, he's done for. That was incredible.
Thank you
LoL
In a world that is getting mad by the day, you are the firm wisdom, calm, and serenity.
“Sometimes you just have to know when to stop” well said; the mark of a professional
talking to the troublemaker indirectly :D
Yes, I usually realize that when it's just too late...
I have nothing but admiration for anyone who can do that ...
Wish I could see your customer's reactions to the restirations!🤩
I love all the comments, singing, and all the other shinanigans that go on in your videos. I don't tinker with watches but I love to learn different things. My favorite is the video about the Jaeger LeCoutre's previous owner trying to replace the crystal himself. Thank you for all the great videos.
For the first time in my life I've seen and felt elegance
Such fine detailed work! It's amazing that u remembered where everything goes! Beautiful restoration!
Thanks Kathryn
1 sneeze, just 1 sneeze would scamble those screws to wonderland
True story, happened to me. You even must take care about your breath when you've all the parts laying on lint free paper to dry after the wash...
Theory of probability says there is a very small likelihood a little sneeze would scramble all the little bits back into a functioning, oiled and polished watch...
@@tomash9116 who said it was a little sneeze? Sneeze manly!
🤣💀 more like the netherrealm
🤣😭
3 seconds in and you already won me. Time to blow the dust off the dvd box. Thanks for restoring this little tank. I highly doubt anyone else besides me knows what I'm talking about.
Oooo Rene
Very satisfying to see such precision craftsmanship in action, hearing someone else who likes to sing their minor daily embuggerances out loud was an extra bonus!
Love the way he sings through his task
I was looking at all those tiny parts! Man, I would screw that up in a hot second. The person repairing this is a true artist.

You do work most of us, particularly me, could never even think of doing. I will listen to your singing as your work is artistry.
Also I lost some of those watch pieces simply by looking at them through a screen and broke a few too. Such much delicacy and precision and fineness kudos to you 👏
Beautiful restoration, such a small movement. You made it look easy
Thanks Phil
I just wanted to say that I think the intricacies of a beautiful fine crafted watch is one of the most amazing pieces of craftsmanship in the world and people like yourself I place in the same class as brain surgeons with your patience and steady hands, I thoroughly enjoyed your presentation on restoring that beautiful watch Cheers Jay Jay
Thanks jay
"Trouble" has a good steady set of hands, perfect for this kind of work.
The Creator shows his handiwork through you!! And it's not just your skill with the watches. Thank you for all these wonderful videos!
Thanks Jonny and your welcome
I cant believe there were so many things going inside that watch. Makes u appreciate the workmanship. 👏
Not sure why I enjoy this so much but, I do. Very quiet, very purposeful, very relaxing! Thank you!
Restoring beautiful old things is a reward for generations to come.
That was amazing! I never knew how many parts were in a watch. I was only going to watch a minute of this and I saw the whole thing. I love seeing worthwhile things being restored. What a treat!
Thanks Nancy

I have no idea how the hell I got to this channel but I am so glad I did. I have always admired watchmakers because of the time, patience, and steady hand they have to have. Amazing. The reflection in the glass of you dancing, and the comment about your "emo" daughter made me laugh.
Same!!! Have no idea how I ended up here. Glad I did tho
Highly, highly enjoyable and it is like a trip back in time to a better world.
AMAZING I was utterly mesmerised. Now that’s a craft ❤️
The size of the screws is amazing, but the gear teeth are just mindboggling. The fact someone can make anything that small and that precise is amazing to me.
I was just thinking the same...it is boggling!
Reminds me of the Creator of even way smaller objects.
DNA? Cells? Etc.. 🤔
@@catlady862 You mean the blind watchmaker?
I think it amazing they also made those parts over 100 years ago.
Partly a musical this is yet another master class in watch restoration.
I have no idea how I found this video, but I’m so glad I did!
What a skill and talent to possess, so special💗
So do I !
It was amazing to watch. The fact he is able to work with such small pieces is just fascinating.
Beautiful transition! It was fun watching you bring it back to life! Bravo!
My first watch was a mechanical one. I don’t remember the maker but it had jewels and glowed in the dark (Radium) and that was very cool. I said good by to mechanical watches as soon as electronics became available. Never have to wind them everyday. Now I have an Apple Watch - have to charge it everyday. See how far we have come.;-) Watching these videos is strangely attractive. Maybe some day I’ll get a mechanical watch again and wind it every day.
Lovely assistants, and great job mate, thats a beautiful restoration of an iconic brand and a beautiful timepiece.
Brilliant, beautiful restoration and face! A fine dolphin impression also.
You had me at "Spidie man, spidie man.....I can't remember the rest of the words" 🤣🤣. That was incredibly therapeutic to watch, and wonderful to see such a great restoration of such a beautiful time piece.... and that the next generation was in the background learning along with what you were doing,well done 😊
You have so much patience to do this job . Love seeing the outcome from a damaged watch to a beautifully restored working watch in the end .
As I view this video of this watch being put back together I’m in awe of the genius who created the first watch
True and I wonder the same when I’m working on them
More dolphin impressions!
Hermoso 💕

That was an incredible restoration. One of the most beautiful transformations I’ve seen from one of the best watchmakers I’ve had the pleasure to watch...pun intended 😁
Next time I look at my watch for the time, I’ll think of this video,.... that was quite fascinating!
Fantastic work as always with the added bonus of you singing! Thank you.

he has sketches or breakdown sheets or videos
That’s what I was thinking the whole time!
