"...work with american pocket watches" 👍. Sharing these watches is why I do it. From a fellow admirer of these wondeful American timepieces - RedVitis ⌚️ ⏱️
An absolutely beautiful dial. And thank you for the details on installing the new jewel, very informative and interesting. And yes, the case compliments the movement perfectly. An excellent video, thank you.
What an amazing restoration! That work on the jewel and chaton is on another level. Your video quality is really improving and I can't wait to see what else you have in store. 💪
Thank you for the video. Hampdens are some of my favorite PW’s. The factory was oly about half hour from where I live. Long gone now I-77 goes thru where it once stood. Some people do not know the factory was sold to Russia and became I believe the first Moscow watch company.
@@redvitiswatches 28 train car loads along with about 20 employees to teach the workers. Wonderful job on the jewel modification. Hampden made the first 16s 23j watch I believe.
@@redvitiswatches thank you, I have seen those, it’s always inconsistent but it helps a lot. Keep up the great work, I love this kind of more hardcore techniques besides the usual cleaning and oiling videos.
Good micro photography on all your work. I enjoy watching your videos.
Thank you Martin!! I'll make more of them for my restorations.

Hi WRC, many thanks for the nice words. Certainly a tough bridge to cross.

Da, Great history there. I didn't know the factory was no longer there. Remarkable how they moved the machinery to Russia during that era.

Great video, what grit level (or type/brand) do you use for the diamond paste to cut the jewel?
Thank you, k__c__. I used 1500. I don't know the brand but it came in a syringe.

I would try others if there are better, but it was pretty good. Thanks
