All of this is magnificent beyond belief
I've noticed that my mechanical watches, when not worn for a while, usually stopped during the date change but would run for a bit if I advanced the hands past the time when the date change would occur. I've always suspected that toward the end of the power reserve in the mainspring that there wasn't enough energy to run both the movement and the date change complication. Thanks for the explanation. I love your videos, I'm learning a lot about watches and watchmaking.
The theory of keeping time in a mechanical watch pales in comparison to the practice of it. From the quality of materials used in its fabrication and the level of expertise of the maker to the quality and quantity of the oils its nothing short of a miracle in motion...one of the most under appreciated crafts in human achievement.
I agree
This is by far my favourite channel. So inspirational to an aspiring watch maker like me
I am just blown away... how was this done in the old days just watching and waiting ? And making an educated guess
Depends how far you go back. The watch is timed against some sort of reference and the further you go back in time, the less accurate the reference timer will be, but always still more precise than the watch being timed. So the reference might be a chronometer clock in the workshop in order to make and regulate slightly less accurate clocks.
Not a watch lover, but I really appreciate the engineering and patience that goes into them and this is an amazing explanation of how timing works.
Thank you
Great video. Great overview of timing. A timegrapher is the best piece of equipment I've ever purchased in my watch collecting. Absolutely necessary if you buy vintage or pre-owned watches. It totally let's you know what is going on. It's fun to check them out from time to time to check the watches health.
Thank you. It is a great tool
Wow so its actually really complicated and there is a lot of stuff to look out for! Thanks for sharing!
It is. Thank you
Do we see a weiss chronograph in the video? Love this channel 🙏
Amazing!
why doesn't the escapement continuously accelerate with the torque of the mainspring? I didn't really take physics at school so that may be a difficult question to answer. Just imagining the spring unwinding itself without regulation would do so by first accelerating and then decelerating with the torque curve? but then somehow the escapement flattens the curve completely even though it is accelerated by that exact torque curve?
for others interested in details of the sounds he mentions here's an illustration from AP: ruclips.net/video/g5c5RK4WFV8/видео.html
mister weiss its possible to learn from distance watchmaking?? love all your videos special about your childhood how you start♥️♥️✌️👍
It is better to learn in person from someone with a lot of experience
10:08 have I see a Weiss Chronograph? 😮
Looks like an Omega cal. 1861 with a Weiss badge covering the Omega engraving. Maybe a customers watch getting serviced?
@@jlpower absolutely! Weird and interesting isn’t?
