- 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,
Not gonna lie. These are so relaxing to watch. Thank you for sharing. Only to wonder of the history of this timepiece.
Absolute masterclass in restoration. I like the the escape wheel has it's own bridge. Less nerve-wracking to get it set properly.
Thanks, Nicholas Hacko.
May you keep a name in yourself. ❤
I love watches, and so I looked at the restoration competently. I liked it .
These videos are the highlight of my week, great job once again Master Watchmaker 👌
Thank you for showing me the smartest way to reconnect the hairspring!! I have fouled so many, but not any more!
I was glad to see how you documented the replacement parts? I was wondering how many wouldn't be used over again!!👍👍
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. :)
I started watching because of the title. Great stuff and the music is a pleasant addition
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.
Watch restoration. Jazz. Perfection!
(PS: Thanks for listing the music!)
I like these restoration videos, there's no talking, just good jazz soundtrack. Like a dinner except with watchmakers restoration. as entertainment
Chỉ cần Đức Phúc hát ballad thì dù buồn hay vui ĐP cũng truyền tải cảm xúc của bài hát rất tốt. Bài buồn thì nghe đúng kiểu tự sự, đau khổ, nghe là muốn khóc. Còn bài vui thì lại nhẹ nhàng, ấm áp, chân thành nghe là muốn yêu❤️
The result is amazing, The watch is gorgeous. I like you explain what are you doing with all technical terms.
Nice to see such a transformation. Wow nice work on this vintage watch!
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
Loving it. It should be considered a privilege to have such a restoration completed, by such craftsmen here in Australia.
Piano jazz and watch restoration complement each other well. Nicely done, sir.
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?
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"
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.
Wonderful, another one back from beyond the brink. Thank you for sharing!
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.
Thank you for the light music with the video 🎶 and you are professional in ur work.
Nicely done. Oiling that dial side cap Jewel and flipping it over in one motion was art.
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!
You could not ask for a better outcome, it is beautiful, great job.
your bird assistant is very delicate and deft with it's beak
Love the music selection, Thank you for including the track names
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!
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!
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.
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. :)
So satisfying to see something brought back to life like that. Well done Sir.
It must feel great to be able to do what you do. I love recycle and resuse. A pretty watch saved!
Perfect work. Nice that you conserve the watch´s originality the most you can. You even used the old hands.
Fantastic work and watch , excellent save 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
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!
That is amazing work Nick... it’s amazing that such precision instrumentation can be restored in such an amazing way! Nicely done!!!
Love these videos. Such a peaceful way for me to wake up and start the day seeing your video on my notifications.
what a satisfying process. Thank you for sharing.
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.
Those parts are numerous and microscopic. Sheer precision skill and patience. Meticulously done. Respect and subscription earned.
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.
Absolutely stunning transformation!
Amazing craftmanship! I can only imagine how many long years of study it took to be able to do this. Thanks for sharing!
Outstanding work, Nicholas. 👍
Bravo on leaving the face weathered and patinaed.
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
A super job, such skill. Virtually a clone of my own grandfather’s watch, which incidentally still works. Thank you.
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.
Great Video! Filmed with care and great attention to detail. This the best it gets.
You are genius !
Well Done Nick! You are a true craftsman
What a great music & video !!!
A true 'tour de force' to any watchmaker. Congrats.
Great job getting that watch working again
Wind up watches are art.
Such a pleasure to watch .....if I was 40 years younger , I would be knocking on your door for an apprenticeship
Brilliant work. Lovely time piece.
wow. thank you! for the music, for showing us which parts you replaced, and the work is amazing.
Really enjoy watching you do your work and enjoy the jazz too. Thanks for posting all these great videos!
Beautiful watch looks like it’s been at the bottom of the sewer since 1950🥴👍🏻✨
My greatest respect for your outstanding excellent work an taste, also concerning the music you selected :)
Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪
Nice work! The uniqueness of that dial is amazing!
Excellent work done 👍 the same watch will work another 30 to 40 years.
Just beautiful work.
Amazing! and that inscription is precious. Superb restoration...
Nicely done, Mr. Hacko. Really like true vintage, and you didn't disappoint. Enjoyed the Rolex teaser, too. Good stuff all around.
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
Stellar workmanship and presentation of the work flow. Very graceful actually.
Beautiful work! 👍🏻👍🏻
Fantastic restoration...from a 'disaster' . Kudos to you and your work..
Nice to see another Nick in these trying times
Both magnificent works and video!
imagine the skill of the watch makers that made these watches back in the day. This is from 1934, imagine making all these little pieces, no internet to reference to. People were probably smarter back in the day having to memorize so much.
You are an artist Sir, what you are doing is beautiful, i enjoy a lot watching your videos! Thanks!
Congratulations, a master's job, that's why the profession we love so much
Bravo, Maestro!
Another awesome transformation Nik, great work love watching these videos
Truly something special
What a lovely watch and a great restoration you should be very proud of it!!
Sum designs and engineering r timeless like the knife,fork,spoon...
Congratulations! Excellent job. Thanks for sharing
Excellent job as always. Can't wait to see the rusty rolex
Amazing love vintage watches an the storey they tell
Came here for content, fell in love with piano jazz and the excellent work. Take my subscription. I can’t wait for more videos and other content.
One word; therapy. Well done.
That watch looks very much like the Swatch GX700 "Abatross" from 1987 that I still own, now I know where they got the inspiration.
Great and not overrestored.
Woah and the ending was like Star Wars. Great video and the suspense (Rolex) was mind blowing. I need the restored watch
Excellent video 👍👍 Thanks for sharing
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.
Nice one! Would have loved to have seen what you did to clean up the dial.
Amazing restoration, thanks for share
Nice work, thank you!
