    Lovely watch. One feature you did not notice is the balance wheel. The cuts on regular bimetallic are 90 degrees from the arms. These are at 30-60 which indicates that this has a Guilaume balance. The steel is a an alloy with special expansion rate to reduce and possibly eliminate middle temperature error. V&C use these often in their top end timepieces.
    In addition the shorter unsupported arms are more rigid.
    These are usually called torpedo boat watches or "Chronometre du Bord"

    Absolutely stunning. it blows my mind that they had that amount of dedication to precision and detail with the tools they had at hand. I have a beautiful pre Heuer pocket watch made by or under the direct supervision of Eduardo Heuer, it isn't as fancy but i can see the same passion in this piece.

    In fairness to the British, in a submarine there are no windows to see the sun or stars so they put a really expensive and accurate timepiece on it. No expense was spared in acquiring this watch. Would love to see it on the timegrapher for 10 seconds before servicing.

What a treat to see. Did you do a video on the restoration so we can learn of the closing chapter of this story?

    @nemetron9506 2 года назад +3

    Just Wow! Mind boggling. How do they achieve the 3d bar look on the metal. New to your channel but am basically binge watching while I have COVID. Also one thing Dundee is in Scotland , you seem to appreciate accuracy 😉👍🏼

  • @benconover72

    The daylight bulb interferes with video format hence the flickering picture. Easy fix = use a tungsten bulb not daylight.

  • @avgge
    @avgge 2 года назад +4

    How did they make the temperature compensated balance? Did they solder the steel and brass together? or is it held in place by the variable inertia regulating screws? Or is it fused purely with heat? I would really love to know!
    Thanks in advance! :)

    For the finger print, you should conduct an investigation.....I doubt this may comes from a previous watchmaker. It may comes from the owner. 1) the backing is easy to open by anyones. 2) people love To see and show the interior. Just saying 😁.after aller you have thé most important evidence: the finger prin....cant argue acter that.....sheers!😂

    "Dundee, ENGLAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
    I strongly advise you never to visit SCOTLAND. You'd be immediately lynched for describing Dundee's location as being in England! Scotland is a small country with a huge and fearsome ego.
    But seriously, bringing your expert eye and pointing out to us non-experts the incredible craftsmanship in this 1940s watch is very illuminating. I have a sort of amateurish interest in watch movements and would have missed 90% of what you're describing.
    Thanks for your youtube channel. Always interesting.
