    Thanks for taking the time to make this video Tommy. My entire horological knowledge comes from reading books, watching RUclips videos and making mistakes in my workshop. You can only learn so much from books, and the chance to watch someone actually working on clocks is invaluable to me.

    So glad I've fallen down whatever rabbit hole keeps bringing me to your videos Tommy. Please keep up the great work!

    Love your work, Tommy. I find it heartening that people are still willing to restore a chronometer, despite needing such a huge amount of work!

    • @TommyJobson

      Me too. Chronometers are a bit of an issue because the work needed to restore them properly is huge but their value often doesn't accomodate this.

    Completly fastenating! Hope youll make your deadline and safe passages overseas! Im hoping to find a Hamilton chronometer just because I like complicated things. My dad had a racing pidgeon timer in a beautiful wooden box and as a boy was bemused by it. Then my dad sold it and I never saw it again. I have sailors blood so think I need a chronometer. Thank you for sharing, most greatful! Bye!😅

    Very good, tommy I enjoy this series. If you could note the maker (I did hear a name) and the era of original manufacture. Thanks again.

    • @TommyJobson

      It's a chronometer by Barraud of London. Second half of the nineteenth century.

    Thanks for video! I would like to know more details about those poorly made wheels. Only for education what is poor on them?

    • @TommyJobson
      @TommyJobson  2 года назад

      Good question, it is simply a quality of manufacture thing. They are not up to the standard of the rest of it. They do work though.

    It looks like you are getting close to finishing the chronometer. I'm hoping in a future video you will show it ticking away.

    • @TommyJobson
      @TommyJobson  2 года назад +1

      Yes, pretty soo you will see it ticking, there will certainly be a video of it completed.
