      If you can do an in-depth explanation on atomic synch and solar charging, there's contradictory information about intensity and wavelengths, thanks.

      @@michaelmichaels471 *Thank you very much. You are my favorite. You are getting down to business of the watch itself.* If you can please show us the Pros and Cons of Mechanicals manual wind up vs Automatic.. VS quartz (like the new highest Citizen precision watch) vs Eco-Drive vs Quartz. Whats the most robust mechanical watch, punctual - keeping accurate time in mechanical etc etc etc. THANK YOU.

    I love when the word delta is used! Thanks for the class, brings me closer to the understanding of why i Iove to keep time at hand, and love watches and all things Horoligy!

    Great stuff MM. Agreed though that it's easier for laymen like us to actually be shown rather than told for a full understanding so look forward to those videos in due course. All the best

    This is the best explanation Ive seen. I hope you will make more of these videos. Whats the difference between Tourbillon, gyrotourbillon and caroussell? Are these 2000usd chinese tourbillons really tourbillons?

    • @the1916company
      @the1916company  5 лет назад +1

      The Classroom is one of our favorite and most evolving series we do, so we're happy to see suggestions which we might look into for future episodes! Are there any other aspects of watchmaking or the watch world you're interested in?

    Great intro to watch mechanics. Maybe a class on watch winders and watch maintenance?

      Steven Butler Absolutely and for the record I do not use or endorse the use of watch winders.. let that baby wind down!

    i do hope the future content will also be shown on youtube as i dont use instagram no worries if not i understand you can only do what you can and i'm grateful for that .iv started building a lot of my own watches and now even into movement finishing iv completely rebuilt a st36 with black polished parts and split main bridge and iv never been to watchmaking school so anyone out there who has wanted to try these things i say go for it the worst that can happen is you trash parts and learn something for next time it didn't take me all that long to figure out but i have jewelry making background and also knife making so i kinda had a jump but still go for it thanks to all the crew you do awesome content

    • @the1916company
      @the1916company  5 лет назад

      Great job on the ST36 rebuild, that's some impressive stuff! As far our content goes, have no worries, we'll be on RUclips for the indefinite future! Maybe we'll even look into making some more watchmaking videos, but until then expect to see more of Mike's watchmaking know-how in future episodes of The Classroom!

    • @michaelmichaels471
      @michaelmichaels471 5 лет назад

      Exactly right, but a movement and take it apart again and again, it’s the quickest way to learn what happens and is happening inside the wrist engine that we all love.

    @andrewholt3849 5 лет назад

    My 116719BLRO Rolex was gaining 20 seconds a day and they corrected it by fitting a weaker mainspring as they said the movement had a 'high action' why would it not keep accurate time with the standard mainspring?

    • @michaelmichaels471
      @michaelmichaels471 5 лет назад +1

    • @andrewholt3849
      @andrewholt3849 5 лет назад

      Michael Michaels 300 is the circular motion of the balance wheel? 270 degrees is 3/4 turn. I assume a weaker mainspring from your description of how it causes the balance to spin and regulate time stops it spinning >300 degrees; but I don't know why it would do that with the supplied mainspring. Maybe I move my arms more than normal. Thanks for the reply. It gives you a glimpse into the workings of wristwatches.

    Have the trolls eaten the chair? I always heard you were not to feed em... Seriously. If it doesnt appear anymore, schnief, just tell me the designer / company that makes/made them. So much to my horological questions for this episode...
