In my vernacular there is a saying "What separates the men from the boys.." So many people on RUclips call themselves "watchmakers," but they are only disassemblers and re-assemblers. I would be happy if I could take apart and oil and reassemble a good watch. My journey starts soon. But "watchmaker?" Not in my lifetime. This takes so much dedication. Dedication you and your colleagues have. I'm too old, soon to be a "pensioner." Thank you for preserving both the articles of history, but also that names of those who came before.
There is however one thing you are missing here on RUclips, first of all not all watchmaking schools are the same, not everybody decides to go in to the artesian side of it. Also if you look at the training Rolex or omega give it's more disassembly and assembly, troubleshooting to replace parts instead of making a part to repair it. There is just a difference in direction people can go withing the profession watchmaking.
Peter, I’m sure you can do it, and I’m sure you will go further than disassemble and reassemble. You will come across all sorts of problems you will fix. You done need a lathe for this, if your hand are free of shaking you will surprise yourself! Good luck!
I enjoy watching and learning your watch repair and making. I am that guy in the spare bedroom. You asked in one you your shows what we viewers would like to see. I would like to know how you find your small springs and screws that go flying across the room. Do you use a big magnet, bright light, or vacuum? What color should I paint my floor?
I really enjoyed this. For those of us who can only watch from the sidelines and dream, access to such fascinating aspects of the history of watchmaking education and the unique items they make to demonstrate their skills is fascinating. I really enjoy this channel. Thank you for sharing your space, knowledge, and passion.
At Newark Violin School in England, we had to make a high quality violin, without machines or abrasives, in 6 weeks.
beautiful stuff Kalle 🙂⌚️ as a BHI student myself, i feel vividly all of the hours they all put into pieces like you have shown .. we all must remember all that came before us, with respect 🙂
Never saw this before,thanks
cool stuff, thanks for sharing!
Thanks Kalle, what a great short video. Rinds me so much of my engineering training, and all the tools, Jigs and things I made. I made a T square like I saw you show. But I think the hardest thing to make is a square of steel. Ta.
I am in the early stages of my journey with the BHI starting on single train clocks and quartz at the technician stage. I’m an older starter and my journey is in its young stage 😂 thank you for sharing these pieces of learning, persistence and dedication ✊
danke Kalle, I really enjoy these little presentations. They are a real treat.
It makes me happy to see someone who appreciates the hard work that has gone in to these pieces. You can feel and almost smell the sweat and tears that was shed when they were made. Thank you for sharing.
Prachtig
Cool
I only wish I started this journey earlier, I to believe the need for more interest from next gen, to continue this fascinating vocation. You & many others I believe are doing a great job of just that! I’m a Mechanic work in historic vintage resto, feels like natural progression, only problem i’m 58 😂🤣😳 💗the passion Kalle
I need a time machine 😁 And a espresso martini to go 👍🏻🇦🇺
Very nice video, Kalle! Thank you for making it!
Very interesting. Thank you for sharing. It's impressive to see such talent.
This brings back a few sleepless nights at exams times
Love it, thanks for sharing these watchmaker pieces. So cool.
The dedication, precision, problem solving and engineering is absolutely astounding. Thank you for sharing this time capsule of history with us.
The Dutch watch making school is in Schoonhoven right?
Yes Roderik. There were originally 4 official schools in Holland: Hoorn, Rotterdam, Amsterdam and Schoonhoven. We give just training in Grootschermer.
Goeden avond uit Zwolle :)
Thank you for this insite. As an apprentice engineer I also had to make a presentation piece. The day of examination came and a time served engineer looked at and asked if it had been weed? I ask what that was. He took hold of it and threw it down the workshop, shouting 'Wee'. It was damaged and I had 6 months added to my apprenticeship as presentation was every 6 month.
Thank you for sharing this history with us Kalle. It shows how things have and have not changed over time. Much appreciated.
I completely understand your love of these items. They are incredible! They represent a life well lived. I loved when you spoke about the pride that went into the product. We all need to try to live in the moment and enjoy it as much as possible. I feel like i blinked and i went from school to being a dad and now a grandpa. I’m almost afraid to blink again! When one has a passion and makes it their profession they will never work a day in their life. Few can do that. Those that can are amount the wealthiest people on earth. Maybe not when measured by money but always when measured in happiness and satisfaction. Love your videos. I’m 65 and just starting in watch repair. I’m loving every minute i spend learning, making mistakes and especially when achieving a small success!
Thanks Kalle, I have 2 and was unsure what they were. They are very similar to each other and are just a train of wheels, hand made bridges, jewels and an escape wheel at the end. Very cool.
Super leuk om te zien dit! Thanks
What a nice treat 😁 thanks Kalle 👍👍
Thank you Kalle,very interesting
Wonderful
6th like.
Prachtig Kalle!! Ik kan hier zo van genieten heel inspirerend..
Ps ik ben opzoek naar een werk ervarings plek als stage voor een paar dagen per week..
