- Broken and discarded, then found by Jim's grandson, this 1930s Swiss
A.S. watch is now ready for a new lease of life. Without any doubt this
was the most difficult restoration project so far.
A. Schild S.A. was a watch movement maker operating from the 1890s
through to the 1970s.
Adolph Schild began producing watch movements Grenchen, Solothurn after
1896. Schild produced many different movements and became one of the
largest movement makers in Switzerland by the 1920s. Schild movements
were used by many manufacturers in the 1950s through 1970s, including
such familiar names as Harwood, Fortis, Enicar, and even Jaeger-LeCoultre.
The quartz crisis of the 1970s hit Schild especially hard, as
inexpensive Japanese and quartz watches cut into the market for
volume-produced three-handed watches. By 1979, in order to survive the
Japanese onslaught, Schild merged with ETA.
What made this restoration painful is the fact that there was not a
single component that was not either affected by rust, broken, out of
shape or simply worn out. Thanks to two other AS554 donor movements, the
end result was luckily a success.
Make sure to watch until the very end to see what's coming next!

Do you actually make watches or it is just the channel's name?
I actually do make my own watches - see here: www.nicholashacko.com.au/
@@MasterWatchmaker Wow, great !!!
This kind of restoration will cost an arm and a leg.
The term watchmaker doesn’t necessarily mean he makes watches. You can get the title by doing watch repair
@@eazye619 Anyway he said he does make watches !!!
Just amazing that a watch that has deteriorate over time can be returned to its former days, I have admiration for such skills and passing on your skills to your next generation, well done,
These videos are the highlight of my week, great job once again Master Watchmaker 👌
Not gonna lie. These are so relaxing to watch. Thank you for sharing. Only to wonder of the history of this timepiece.
Watch restoration. Jazz. Perfection!
(PS: Thanks for listing the music!)
Thanks, Nicholas Hacko.
May you keep a name in yourself. ❤
I love watches, and so I looked at the restoration competently. I liked it .
Absolute masterclass in restoration. I like the the escape wheel has it's own bridge. Less nerve-wracking to get it set properly.
I started watching because of the title. Great stuff and the music is a pleasant addition
I was glad to see how you documented the replacement parts? I was wondering how many wouldn't be used over again!!👍👍
Thank you for showing me the smartest way to reconnect the hairspring!! I have fouled so many, but not any more!
Same for me, now close to a new confinement more than ever these videos are a truly inspiration and a relaxing moment, keep on doing, not going to miss the next one. Thank you for these moments. Greetings from Barcelona
A great restoration. I am amazed at your ability to give these pieces a second chance of life for someone who I hope will appreciate it. Pardon the pun but you got it running like a Swiss watch. :)
It's gorgeous, sir. Thank you for saving this discard and making it a beautiful little timepiece again.
I love how you revived a timepiece from the past. I got teary eyed when you showed the before and after clip.
Superb restoration. Requires patience and thorough knowledge to bring back such beauties to life.
He revived the engineering, craftsmanship, and history that were put into that watch. You’re amazing!

Love to see restored and not tossed out! Thanks
I like these restoration videos, there's no talking, just good jazz soundtrack. Like a dinner except with watchmakers restoration. as entertainment
Piano jazz and watch restoration complement each other well. Nicely done, sir.
The result is amazing, The watch is gorgeous. I like you explain what are you doing with all technical terms.
Another fantastic video Nick! I spotted the use of the Chokamour chocolate box lid :-) Also spotted the left hand thread which must be a trap for young players. Masterful.
You are genius !
Nice to see such a transformation. Wow nice work on this vintage watch!
Wonderful, another one back from beyond the brink. Thank you for sharing!
A great restoration. I am amazed at your ability to give these pieces a second chance of life for someone who I hope will appreciate it. Pardon the pun but you got it running like a Swiss watch. :)
Loving it. It should be considered a privilege to have such a restoration completed, by such craftsmen here in Australia.
I could swear I saw that little watch smile at the end.
I would have loved to have a close up of the back, I caught part of the increption "Dad and Mom"... I'm sure it told a story. Graduation watch?
Love the music selection, Thank you for including the track names
That was a spectacular restoration. I love that era of watches. The style and font of the numbers on the face look really nice. Art deco era was very stylish.
Beautiful restoration! I had to laugh every time I saw your monstrous fingers pop into view. I was continuously surprised at how small the movement was.
You could not ask for a better outcome, it is beautiful, great job.
I KNEW it! So, glad you showed the replaced parts. I was on the edge of my seat waiting for it. Postitively phenomenal job on this restoration as bad off this watch was. Two thumbs way up!
Jim possibly got this from Dad & Mum for his 18th birthday on 25th March 1934 (or is it 25.12.34? Then for Christmas at whatever age...). Jim is probably gone, but his (t)rusty watch ticks again, 87 years later. Awesome!
What a great music & video !!!
Wind up watches are art.
Thank you for the light music with the video 🎶 and you are professional in ur work.
Very relaxing and satisfying. I'd like to have seen the engraving on the back of the watch. A story there.
So far as I can make out it says "To Jim, from Dad & Mum 25 Nov '34"
Nicely done. Oiling that dial side cap Jewel and flipping it over in one motion was art.
Absolutely stunning transformation!
You are a master of the craft. I can't believe how therapeutic this was to watch. I'm thinking about getting my hands on an old pocket watch and start the learning process of this craft. You obviously make it look so easy but I know it isn't. I'm a little intimidated but I want to so badly bring back the beat of an old watch.
Fantastic work and watch , excellent save 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
your bird assistant is very delicate and deft with it's beak
Very good cleaning. It is surprising that you have original parts to replaced for, otherwise, such beautiful Swiss watches are turned into trash. There are hardly any meçhanics available now a days to repair such priceless Swiss watches. Keepon and rejuvenate such rare buties!
Bravo on leaving the face weathered and patinaed.
Those parts are numerous and microscopic. Sheer precision skill and patience. Meticulously done. Respect and subscription earned.
Loved the black polish. You do such a good job! If I did anything close I wouldn't be able to let go of the watch. I'd wear it everyday andjust admire the job I had done!
what a satisfying process. Thank you for sharing.
It must feel great to be able to do what you do. I love recycle and resuse. A pretty watch saved!
Outstanding work, Nicholas. 👍
Love these videos. Such a peaceful way for me to wake up and start the day seeing your video on my notifications.
The real value is “From Dad & Mum”
Is that what was engraved on the back? I couldn't quite make it out, and yes, that does make it special.
That is amazing work Nick... it’s amazing that such precision instrumentation can be restored in such an amazing way! Nicely done!!!
A super job, such skill. Virtually a clone of my own grandfather’s watch, which incidentally still works. Thank you.
So satisfying to see something brought back to life like that. Well done Sir.
The start of the video I Felt like seeing a James Bond movie. The music and the watch maker. Great job. I need this watch.
Perfect work. Nice that you conserve the watch´s originality the most you can. You even used the old hands.
Well Done Nick! You are a true craftsman
Great and not overrestored.
Amazing craftmanship! I can only imagine how many long years of study it took to be able to do this. Thanks for sharing!
Such a pleasure to watch .....if I was 40 years younger , I would be knocking on your door for an apprenticeship
Great job getting that watch working again
Congratulations, a master's job, that's why the profession we love so much
A true 'tour de force' to any watchmaker. Congrats.
Nice work! The uniqueness of that dial is amazing!
From Vietnam with love ❤️
A tasteful and skillful restoration ... salvaging as much of the visible parts as you did gave this watch a wonderful visible impression. That, along it's new found internal precision, makes this piece one anyone would be proud to wear. Nicely done ... Cheers, dave
Excellent video 👍👍 Thanks for sharing
wow. thank you! for the music, for showing us which parts you replaced, and the work is amazing.
Great Video! Filmed with care and great attention to detail. This the best it gets.
Truly something special
A little tip when dealing with rusty bolt and screws. After spraying penetrating fluid loosen the screws quarter to half turn and tighten it back up again. Then remove the screw. The fluid will reach the threads and tightening it will force it further down. You might have to repeat a couple of times for the ones that are stubborn. Saves from stripping the threads on both ends.
Beautiful watch looks like it’s been at the bottom of the sewer since 1950🥴👍🏻✨
Brilliant work. Lovely time piece.
Orologio dal quadrante molto molto bello,lavorazione fantastica,complimenti
Really enjoy watching you do your work and enjoy the jazz too. Thanks for posting all these great videos!
That look’s like Butch Coolidge’s watch!! Jajaja Great video 👍👍
Excellent work done 👍 the same watch will work another 30 to 40 years.
Amazing! and that inscription is precious. Superb restoration...
One word; therapy. Well done.
Stellar workmanship and presentation of the work flow. Very graceful actually.
Excellent job as always. Can't wait to see the rusty rolex
Fantastic restoration...from a 'disaster' . Kudos to you and your work..
Both magnificent works and video!
Nice to see another Nick in these trying times
Excellent restoration 👍👍
Quite simply Magnificent, Sir!
Looks identical to my grandfather’s watch which I believe is a mid 1930’s watch. Lovely to see what it could look like. Thanks
Mesmerizing to watch.
Just beautiful work.
Nice work, thank you!
Nicely done, Mr. Hacko. Really like true vintage, and you didn't disappoint. Enjoyed the Rolex teaser, too. Good stuff all around.
Beautiful work! 👍🏻👍🏻
My greatest respect for your outstanding excellent work an taste, also concerning the music you selected :)
