I’ve never realised how skilled a watch maker was .... this is the first time I’ve ever watched a watch being repaired. I couldn’t stop watching ..the skill of this man is unbelievable... made me wonder how they did it years ago by candle light .....take my hat off too you sir....thanks very much for putting on RUclips
This restoration is nothing short of a miracle. It is so soothing to see a true watchmaker/artist, at work. Thanks for this video. I hope you'll find a new spare part soon.
besides the watchmaking stills, it blows my mind how they were able to manufacture all these miniscule pieces with extremely high degree of accuracy and little tolerance back in the 40's - 50's. Amazing.
OMG, I thought I was watching a brain surgeon at work. Except, I suspect you showed more skill than an MD. It was both awe inspiring and intimidating watching you strip down and then actually knowing where every part went when you put it back together. I think George Daniels would have been impressed with your fabrication of the "jump spring", a point 2 MM part no less. I have been initiating the process of taking your course, but I never aspire to be able to display such sophisticated talent, but If I can just know how to strip down and reassemble a conventional three dial movement I'll be ecstatic with a feeling of accomplishment. Fixing a chronometer, rather than a chronograph, would be wholly sufficient to make me feel satisfied that the impossible had been achieved. I watched a video of George Daniels describing the process of constructing the coaxial escapement, and I was bewildered at how he could improve upon the design of something that was so pivotal, yet not really improved upon, since the golden age of of the enlightenment. After all, the clock was essentially the technological development that permitted the exploration of the world. Me thinks no small accomplishment. Anyway, thanks for blowing my mind. Doesn't happen that often anymore. I'm 76 and still counting. Glenn Miles - yukoner@gmail.com
Rocket science feels not that complicated anymore... It's just beautiful.Restoring a piece of history in its finest form.I thank you ,kind sir , for sharing!
The number of parts disassembled and reassembled, amazing! Would love a running commentary on parts, assemblies, and layers function, as you dismantle and reassembel. This would add considerably to an already marvelous presention. Thankyou!!
As a mechanical engineer and as a mechanical watch fan with bad eyeside and getting worse and worse I loved watching this. This may sound crazy but it made me even a bit emotional....Thank you for sharing this sir! I liked the channel for some time now, but now I love this channel. Thank you again! Greetings from the Netherlands.
Excellent job. im so much more impressed with these older complex movements than any new modern movements - i.e. all designed tested and made without computers by people with slide rules and machine skills, no CAD/CAM lasers etc etc. I mean, imagine designing this thing without a computer to 3d visualise the build. Bonkers hard! Couldn't be done like that today, mores the pity
From one watchmaker to another, it is so nice to see a watchmaker actually doing a job right, instead of watching all the hacks out there buggering up nice movements. Well done sir. 11/10
You never cease to amaze me, not just your skill & nohow but your patience. You love what you’re doing and it shows. Watching you work is relaxing and fulfilling.
Amazing restoration! Thank you for the peek over your shoulder. It was a privilege and a pleasure to see a true craftsman at work. Bringing that beautiful chronograph back to life was literally turning back the hands of time in the truest sense. The watchmakers of old were truly artists of unrivalled skill and talent. Be well.
I have watched your videos and lurked in silence for awhile... You are truly very good. The making of the part was exquisite... Well done Sir. I felt those hands were unfixable. You did a great job with that.... You're very good. I doubt these viewers appreciate how good you are....
@akhenatuh when you have an unlimited budget it aint possible to leave it new, even watch collectors prefer the original parts even if they look shabby, vintage, old, it attests to the life of the watch.
This watch has so much character. I’m finishing my degree in mechanical engineering, and watches have just always fascinated me. I hope to be lucky enough to have good fortune with my career to be able to collect and restore watches like you do. This watch has so much character, it would become an instant favorite if I owned it! Looking forward to watching and learning from your channel. Thank you for quality content
Really glad you kept the original dial, the patina gives the watch its historical authenticity from a sympathetic repair. As always, a delight see you practice your skills.
Update: The Dial Was Changed - ruclips.net/video/h_fGNUHp_0g/видео.html whoops... I had a brain fart and said providence instead of provenance - twice!!! - my bad! Here we restore a very old vintage Heuer chronograph triple date mechanism with bent 4th wheel pivot, we make a new jumper spring and discus the awful condition of the dial. Sit back, relax and enjoy :)
Thank you. This was a brilliant repair, and you chose an excellent strap for it. Hope you find a nice NOS dial for it - mint, but perhaps still nicely aged. Where can I get one of those straps?
Wow...too much here to comment on everything...the hands, the spring...just unbelievable. True artistry and that watch is incredible. You got running like a chronometer. I'm throwing my micro screwdrivers away! What's the point of trying. I can't imagine ever being half as good as you are sir!
So, what can i say. Nothing usual at all. Just half an hour of a titanic work with micromechanics. Man. You re awesome. Thanx for sharing you skils. And wish you always get a tic tac sound when you re done with next one mechanism.
cant believe a 44" watch got these many moving parts. precision work is needed here, soft hands, focused and careful work. you restored beautify. watch making is a talent. Future might not be there for these old time dial as smart watches (apple iwatch series 5 etc) might take over the market ? reckon not. watches were challenged when Japanese and Chinese brands hit the market, in the 60s but swiss watch makers retained the class and niche market existed for watches. wonder how many more years this will go.
Like so many others who have commented, your watch repairing skills are phenomenal. I really like the vintage Heuer chronographs with their large minute and hour dials which were designed to be actually functional and not just a cosmetic feature used mainly for marketing purposes. Glad that this one came to you for repair. Love the videos and thanks for taking the effort to record your work. Looking forward to your next repair!
Very enjoyable to watch! I learned a lot on this channel over the last two years and successfully restored a few time only vintage watches and even learned how to replace balance staffs but watching such a complex movement beeing restored I realise how much there is still to learn
im in total awe... this rebuild was captivating. Its just amazing how deeply i fell in love with this watch over the past half hour. What a wonderful thing.
Is there anyone want to follow your job and skills ? Because i have saw a mechanical clock when i was in grade 8, I was really adore it and searching for more information about mechanical clock Finally i found you, watching your skillful hands moving then i knew you is not a normal watchfixer
If I didn't decide to be a stock trader and business man, I'd probably be a watchmaker. Such a beautiful and interesting job. I think I never was so focused watching a video on YT
It was an utter pleasure to watch an artist at work. You are a genius. After a few years in life i stopped wearing and caring for watches. The youtube random generator and ghost of christmasses past found, it was time to open new horizons to me. Your video did exactly that. WHAT craftmanship and artistry. You have so much to show for your life and you opened a new universe to me. Thank you so much. PS Tag Heuer, i wonder what PRICE-tag this comes with. Thanks again.
Fascinating and relaxing to watch. I have dabbled in watch repair as a hobby and quickly discovered I have neither the temperament nor steadiness of hand to work on such delicate mechanisms. My hat is off to you, sir.
this comes with experience but, systematic assembly/disassembly is the key... everyone has different method of organizing, but easiest would be, take a pic, print it enlarged a bit, maybe use some transparent double sided tapes to...would be a lot easier to sort things out if memory is not great...
No parts fit more than one place, I've disassembled and reassembled a NH36 movement and there was never any problem telling witch part goes where, every part go where they fit... The problem is the parts are freakin small and brittle, and my hands are quite large and crude, being a construction worker and hobby mechanic I'm not used to handling such tiny things..
Wow! Turned out much better than it first appeared. I do not know how you remember all of the parts placement for the complications. Always great to watch.
Thank you again for yet another enjoyable video. The fabrication of the new spring was fascinating! Great to see another run down watch repaired and serviced. It looks much better already, but I hope you manage to find a better dial for it too. Edit : glad to see the dial was replaced in a newer video.
I really love that you are doing this. I absolutely enjoy learning about watch repairs and functions. Thank you for sharing your experience with everyone.
What a beautiful watch. I’m commenting at the beginning so I can’t wait to see what it looks like at the end. I love your choice of music for the sound track. Very Clapton like.
Thanks for including background music in this! I was drawn in to your channel from the 1960s Seiko watch, but the timelapse without any music was just a bit too much silence for my liking. This kind of quiet, chilled out background music is perfect I think.
1. I love you made the spring. Cool you’re able to say you are now part of the history of that watch, in a material way. 2. On the restoration/patina issue … As long as a restorer doesn’t mar the watch (like by overpolishing) or misrepresent the restored watch as untouched, I have no problem with restoration … and a real problem with the patina fetishists who think it’s a crime to restore. All you need do is imagine what the original watchmaker would want. He made a gorgeous watch in the first place; bringing it back to that state is a tribute. If you prefer seeing patina, that’s cool. I myself enjoy seeing the honest wear on a watch - or any tool - and I dig a tropical dial. But I won’t excoriate those who do an loving, respectful restoration.
love your videos I am on the other side I restore the cases dials and bracelets ..I will upload some videos before and after ... but I know very little about watchmaking I have restored vintage Heuer Triplet date cases like your to like nos condition .. leaving a slight patina for acceptability making them look like its extremely well taken care watch that is 75 yrs old is the key .. love the music selection!!! I have watch just about all your videos =)
Beautiful work. Watching your work is tremendously inspiring. And the video recording is very good too, the camera angles, focus and lighting. Thank you and keep up this GREAT channel.
Well I am just blown away!!, never seen so many springs n wheels!. I do like the original dial, good clean up mark. Beautiful watch brought back with such skill and experience , great job. Adrian 🍀🍀.
Do watchmakers go insane a lot? I know by just watching you take the time and care to assemble this valjoux movement that I was going insane. Excellent job. you are a craftsman.
Great video. Well explained and good filming technique. Just one minor nitpick: a watch's history is its "provenance", not it's "providence", which is defined as divine beneficence.
Your videos are hypnotic. It's amazing that you can recall how all of that fits back together. Is that just a product of experience with a particular movement?
Wow! I'm 68 and this is the best video I ever watched. Period. Your memory and touch is unbelievable. Thank you for the opportunity.
I’ve never realised how skilled a watch maker was .... this is the first time I’ve ever watched a watch being repaired. I couldn’t stop watching ..the skill of this man is unbelievable... made me wonder how they did it years ago by candle light .....take my hat off too you sir....thanks very much for putting on RUclips
Sad that someone would discard such a masterpiece. Thank you for briging it back to it's former glory.
Your work should be considered heritage of humanity. My respects.
This restoration is nothing short of a miracle. It is so soothing to see a true watchmaker/artist, at work. Thanks for this video. I hope you'll find a new spare part soon.
besides the watchmaking stills, it blows my mind how they were able to manufacture all these miniscule pieces with extremely high degree of accuracy and little tolerance back in the 40's - 50's. Amazing.
Old school watchmaking takes real skill... its so good watching a real watchmaker repair and even make replacement parts
This whole process makes my anxiety just skyrocket. It’s the little tiny screws. You truly are a master at this

Another old watch given a new lease of life and another great video. Thanks Mark!
Rocket science feels not that complicated anymore... It's just beautiful.Restoring a piece of history in its finest form.I thank you ,kind sir , for sharing!
Now I realize why these movements are so expensive the repair. I have great respect for those who designed it, and those who can repair them.
The number of parts disassembled and reassembled, amazing! Would love a running commentary on parts, assemblies, and layers function, as you dismantle and reassembel. This would add considerably to an already marvelous presention. Thankyou!!

That is a ridiculously accurate movment after being restored!
Excellent job.

Oh my goodness. The amount of patience you had was unbelievable as you reproduced the minute jumper spring bar. This is beyond this world!!!
You never cease to amaze me, not just your skill & nohow but your patience. You love what you’re doing and it shows. Watching you work is relaxing and fulfilling.
His work on those hands, particularly the second hand, was fantastic.
Excellent work mark, making watch parts is a real skill in itself!
Amazing restoration! Thank you for the peek over your shoulder. It was a privilege and a pleasure to see a true craftsman at work. Bringing that beautiful chronograph back to life was literally turning back the hands of time in the truest sense. The watchmakers of old were truly artists of unrivalled skill and talent. Be well.

I felt those hands were unfixable. You did a great job with that....
You're very good. I doubt these viewers appreciate how good you are....
Whooh, 0.2mm handmade. This is what a watchmaker really mean. Love it
Way above pro!
@Cool Crush Ice Killa Why bullshit? Many machinists work this small
@akhenatuh when you have an unlimited budget it aint possible to leave it new, even watch collectors prefer the original parts even if they look shabby, vintage, old, it attests to the life of the watch.
@@hectorgarcia8691 i agree but we have to keep in mind its first application. giving time. if you can't read it, where's the point?
@Reginald Bowls: Those machinists use calibrated MACHINES to get those tolerances. He hand filed that steel to .2 mm.
This watch has so much character. I’m finishing my degree in mechanical engineering, and watches have just always fascinated me. I hope to be lucky enough to have good fortune with my career to be able to collect and restore watches like you do. This watch has so much character, it would become an instant favorite if I owned it! Looking forward to watching and learning from your channel. Thank you for quality content
its awesome how this dude fixes this watch in 35 minutes.
And here I was proud of myself learning how to take apart my iPhone 4 and put it back together again. Beer is on me if I ever meet you brother!
Really glad you kept the original dial, the patina gives the watch its historical authenticity from a sympathetic repair. As always, a delight see you practice your skills.
Watches are works of art and design to an entirely different level.

@@hoilst It looks to be a Hirsch liberty strap (they come in various shades of tan) and are great quality.
I’ve never been a fan of Heuer watches, but I love this one. Must have lost their way in later years. Elegant vs modernity crap.

Watch Repair Channel so it cost more to overhaul than buy new??
I’m not sure about restorations anymore cost too much..
Lovely restoration. My favorite moment occurs at 24:40 when the heart resumes beating, as this tells me a 'life' was again saved. Cheers.
Wow...too much here to comment on everything...the hands, the spring...just unbelievable. True artistry and that watch is incredible. You got running like a chronometer. I'm throwing my micro screwdrivers away! What's the point of trying. I can't imagine ever being half as good as you are sir!
beautiful movement for a 70 year old watch, i'd have this movement over a new movement anyday
It's beautiful to see an old watches heart start beating again.
A real master who can give a new life to an old old dead chrono. How i wish your workshop in H.K.
'enjoyed again'! Isn't that the wonderful point about restoration! Bravo you! Lovely piece of work.
This channel should be named "True magic channel"
So, what can i say. Nothing usual at all. Just half an hour of a titanic work with micromechanics.
Man. You re awesome. Thanx for sharing you skils. And wish you always get a tic tac sound when you re done with next one mechanism.
Gorgeous watch as is, that worn dial gives it more authentic, road worn character.
Never have I been stressed out as when you were taking it apart! I had to watch it all...😅
That's a really really nice watch/movement. It deserves a fully restored dial/face.
My man needs to be manufacturing those springs!
Full time!
cant believe a 44" watch got these many moving parts. precision work is needed here, soft hands, focused and careful work. you restored beautify. watch making is a talent.

im in total awe... this rebuild was captivating. Its just amazing how deeply i fell in love with this watch over the past half hour. What a wonderful thing.
Vakmanschap. Wat mooi beroep. Wat een techniek! Geweldig om naar te kijken!
Omule esti genial,sa te bagi la o asemenea masina si sa faci si piesa aia,tot respectul,un ceasornicar desavirsit
Please do not change the dial......perfect as it is....beautiful watch and awesome repair and service.
Is there anyone want to follow your job and skills ?
Because i have saw a mechanical clock when i was in grade 8, I was really adore it and searching for more information about mechanical clock
Finally i found you, watching your skillful hands moving then i knew you is not a normal watchfixer
it seems more complicated and much more moving parts and screws, new to this and I love it. also a subscriber .
If I didn't decide to be a stock trader and business man, I'd probably be a watchmaker. Such a beautiful and interesting job.
I think I never was so focused watching a video on YT

Fascinating and relaxing to watch. I have dabbled in watch repair as a hobby and quickly discovered I have neither the temperament nor steadiness of hand to work on such delicate mechanisms. My hat is off to you, sir.
How on Earth do you manage to remember the position of all those items once the watch is broken down.
Absolutely amazing.
Garfunkel Stiglitz maybe he shot an video of the disassambly. Don’t know 🤷🏻♂️
Not sure from this watch but there is a lot of documentation online.
And if not you can make little drawings so you know where things go back.
this comes with experience but, systematic assembly/disassembly is the key... everyone has different method of organizing, but easiest would be, take a pic, print it enlarged a bit, maybe use some transparent double sided tapes to...would be a lot easier to sort things out if memory is not great...

I can't believe it runs as good as it is. That watch would have some story to tell if it could talk. Again another great video.
Fantastic work and results. Such a number of parts, even with a video of disassembly, not everyone will make a working mechanism again.
Wow! Turned out much better than it first appeared. I do not know how you remember all of the parts placement for the complications. Always great to watch.
My my such craftsmanship. I’m new to this art of watchmaking and smiled when that balance set the watch into motion 👌🏾
Thank you again for yet another enjoyable video. The fabrication of the new spring was fascinating! Great to see another run down watch repaired and serviced. It looks much better already, but I hope you manage to find a better dial for it too. Edit : glad to see the dial was replaced in a newer video.

OMG... That's no skill, that's a God given talent. I don't care how long I practise, I will never get that right... ever! Brilliant work Sir.
Thank you very much for sharing. Thank you supporters.
Awesome. I slowed the speed down to 0.25 and 0.50 when he was putting the watch back together, just to see his hand movements.
Turned out beautifully. Personally, I'd put it on a distressed leather strap to play on the aged aesthetic.
What a mechanism..salute to the man who fix the watch
Watching you straighten the handset was like watching a magician at work, superb skills.
In this miniscule pocket of human civilization, there is still reason and order to be found. Thank you.
What a beautiful watch. I’m commenting at the beginning so I can’t wait to see what it looks like at the end. I love your choice of music for the sound track. Very Clapton like.
Another awesome detail video! After much T&C put into the rusty movements, can see how beautiful it is..... thanks for making this video.
Superb restoration. What a gorgeous watch. Hand making a .2mm spring? Kudos.
The world needs more people like you.
That was awesome to watch, I can't even build an IKEA wardrobe without being left with a bunch of screws at the end.
Ha ha ha 🤣 👍🏻🇩🇰
Thanks for including background music in this! I was drawn in to your channel from the 1960s Seiko watch, but the timelapse without any music was just a bit too much silence for my liking. This kind of quiet, chilled out background music is perfect I think.

Absolutely mind - blowing; better than a surgeon!
That case cleaned up nice, movement is gorgeous, nice choice on straps, but that dial 😱😂 I can't 🤣
Wonderful video. The mind boggles at the way it was made and put together again. The music was very soothing.
It's always a pleasure to watch a man that loves his job. Thanks for the wonderful tips i am just a beginner.
Hands of a surgeon.
So nice to watch,, nope, no pun, a professional work, it relaxes the mind and informs!
Wow, now there is a watchmaker!
Awesome restoration, thanks a lot for share your knowledge!!! 👍🏼
Such dexterity and precision..
love your videos I am on the other side I restore the cases dials and bracelets ..I will upload some videos before and after ... but I know very little about watchmaking I have restored vintage Heuer Triplet date cases like your to like nos condition .. leaving a slight patina for acceptability making them look like its extremely well taken care watch that is 75 yrs old is the key .. love the music selection!!! I have watch just about all your videos =)
Beautiful workmanship for restoring an old watch.
Beautiful work. Watching your work is tremendously inspiring. And the video recording is very good too, the camera angles, focus and lighting.
Thank you and keep up this GREAT channel.
Well I am just blown away!!, never seen so many springs n wheels!. I do like the original dial, good clean up mark. Beautiful watch brought back with such skill and experience , great job. Adrian 🍀🍀.
I don't know if I'd call that a repair. That was more like you Made a new watch! Very impressive! Enjoyed it from start to finish.
Great work. My eyes were hurting even watching it through youtube. Can't imagine how you do it daily.
What's not to like about this video?? Marvelous job.
It’s second time that I watched this video completely with full enjoyment.
Really nice 👍
You my Friend are a Master of your Craft. WOW !!!! I’m impressed
Great documentary on a 70 y old watch!
So impressive what you're able to do and make is look so easy. Making that replacement spring was impressive.
Do watchmakers go insane a lot? I know by just watching you take the time and care to assemble this valjoux movement that I was going insane. Excellent job. you are a craftsman.
Great video. Well explained and good filming technique. Just one minor nitpick: a watch's history is its "provenance", not it's "providence", which is defined as divine beneficence.
Your videos are hypnotic. It's amazing that you can recall how all of that fits back together. Is that just a product of experience with a particular movement?
Looks great. Glad you did what you could. Now good luck sourcing a new dial
It‘s nice to watch a craftsman at work and actually see something I‘d feel comfortable doing as well, even though I had to watch until 31:52 for it.
