Now this is one of many examples as to why I love mechanical pocket watches and clocks because the craftsmanship that went into them is far more amazing to me that how modern stuff is made
Humanity should stop obsessing over their praised digital bullshit and they should look back at properly made things like this pocket watch. It's a TRUE work of art.
Nowadays these types of musical pocket watches and striking musical clocks are electronically imitated by some quartz clocks because they contains electronically programmed circuit board of sound chips connected to speaker. But nothing can beat the real chiming and music-box moments as in these types of clocks and watches.
I love how you are just like “ oh yeah and it just happens to have the most complex fiddly and difficult to make function of any pocket watch” as like a random side thing
It's not as much about it being out of tune. It's that the speed seems like it could be 25% too fast. There's a melody in there somewhere, but all the notes are tumbling out like a closet full of pots and pans.
Agree but back then, the musical movement was always hidden away. Most antique "skeleton" watches have been modified to show off the wonderful movement but they are not original.
Hi, thank you so much for sharing... It was truly amazing to see its mechanism... Since you seem to be having relevant knowledge do you mind me asking you so questions regards this?
This was made in the days when things were proprietary - no interchangeable parts. It is possible but would require an exceptionally skilled watchmaker who also has mechanical music skills.
You do not understand the mechanics. In order for one to change a disc, most of the watch would need to be disassembled so that is not a workable engineering design.@@j.lietka9406
The concept of true changing disc based music boxes has been around a long time so a person could play many songs - early form of the phonograph. Like this oneruclips.net/video/CJJVQx3wfm8/видео.html @@j.lietka9406

I've restored many quarter/minute repeaters in my time but never had the privilege of working on a real sonnerie movement. You're right though, the tuned fingers are almost always broken and/or missing. Maybe someday I'll get lucky..
I acquire pieces from all over the world and fortunately, I can work on the pieces which provides me additional comfort to acquire a piece that may or may work properly. Kind regards, Troy Duncan, CPA, retired www.singingbirdbox.com www.reugemusicboxusa.com
Correct. That is why this watch works perfectly and keeps excellent time. The repeat function and music starts a few minutes late and that is acceptable for a watch of this age.
I meant like this famous pair of watched that the cowboy has: m.ruclips.net/video/0JPnR7C8mZQ/видео.html&pp=ygUad2F0Y2ggc2NlbmUgY2xpbnQgZWFzdHdvb2Q%3D I was curious if they work the same way, like your music box watch. Now that i looked again, i would guess they’re similar mechanism. Thanks for responding.

When art and technology were combined to make magic.
That's incredible. It makes me so sad that the world isn't full of beauty and inspiration anymore.
Creating, setting, and adjusting a piece like this is like writing software code today. Truly amazing minds back in the day.💯

Always good to understate and then surprise to the upside.
amazing how people made these. just amazing
Two hundred years ago
I love pocket watches , Swiss movements , yes ! But combined with a Swiss music box just heavenly ! I wish !!!
What a fantastic timepiece! Thanks for sharing. I subscribed to your channel.
The whole song disk is cool, but I think it'd be awesome just to have a pocket watch that plays those crystal clear bell tones at 1:58 every hour.
WOW. Would love to have one of these.....Thanks for sharing.
This to me is both beautiful an hour fascinating. You are a fortunate person to have this in your position
amazing craftsmanship !! thank you for sharing this amazing piece
It's not as much about it being out of tune. It's that the speed seems like it could be 25% too fast. There's a melody in there somewhere, but all the notes are tumbling out like a closet full of pots and pans.
Amazing.. Love this musical , grand sonniere !! Thanks for the wonderful video
"Pretty Cool" is an understatement - THANKS.
I really enjoy your videos. Thanks for taking the time to make them.
What an absolute treasure. Amazing... Thank you for sharing
Интересный механизм, мелодия приятная и даже бой есть!
When the what stop's go for your gun !! Beautiful item
Wow, what a beutiful piece, the dial is gorgeous, but i would use a glass one in order to see the music complication !
Agree but back then, the musical movement was always hidden away. Most antique "skeleton" watches have been modified to show off the wonderful movement but they are not original.
I am totally amazed that the music disk is a two sided and every other chime plays from the back of the disk.
Beautiful! Hypnotic tune as well.
I want to add a comment but I have no words to describe this.
Wow beautiful. Great condition.
Hi, thank you so much for sharing... It was truly amazing to see its mechanism... Since you seem to be having relevant knowledge do you mind me asking you so questions regards this?
amazing for people who created these
It might be hard to do, but could another song disk be mounted, for another musical piece? Superb craftsmanship!

@@troyduncan1969 the idea being it's not limited to one song!

@@troyduncan1969 yeah, it's just the way it's made!

You restored 100% everything? Also lubed where lubbing is needed as well?
Correct. That is why this watch works perfectly and keeps excellent time. The repeat function and music starts a few minutes late and that is acceptable for a watch of this age.
Is this is available to buy
I sold this two years ago.
Thankyou😊
Wow!
👌👌👌
Value?
See the accompanying video and your question will be answered: ruclips.net/video/aUIpkhCIirE/видео.html
Is this like what Lee Van Cleef had?
This is older than Van Cleef & Arpels - they started in 1896.
