Thanks for sharing your knowledge ,Every time I learn more ,thanks
Goede video . Fijne muziek . Goede microscopische beelden . Zeer gedegen en educatieve technische uitleg . Eén minpuntje : in bijna elke zin zegt U , eeuhh , wat op de duur een beetje storend en afleidend is . Brass is messing , niet koper .
Great video
Thanks again for your help great support for the watch repairer
That's a really nice watch and you are explaining things really well, thanks.
Great Kalle ! I missed this live one. I like cylinder :)
(By the way, dials are not made onto brass but with coper, the glass enamel couldn't survive brass dilation while cooling after melting. Usually double sided enameled to ensure homogenous cooling which doesn't torque the dial and break it.) ;)
Thanks for sharing :)

Thnx Bruno!
Is there a part 2 to this? (Fascinating ,by the way !)
Great video and Great advice about testing the gear train to check for pivot play before disassembling.. Your tips and tricks are Pure Gold 😉👌
So glad I can help.
Very ingenious movement!nice video!
Beautiful isn't it?
I have a pocket watch but don't know which model is that. "Galonne 39315" inside of first case, "Remontoir Metal" on second case, carved face of a lady on outer most case.
Wonderful diagnostic information and lovely magnified videography makes it so easy to understand, Thank you. I will look for the second part, where you put it all together. Could you do a video on the replacement of a cylinder balance please, I have some watches in which the wheel train is fine, and the cylinder balance looks fine, but I just cannot put them together so that they work together.
Nice to hear from you! Cylinder escapement is something special and often cumbersome because of the huge ware and tare over the years, I'll keep it in mind!
Interesting first time see the escapement without pallet. Please give more information about this escapement
I am working on a pocket watch movement almost the same as the one you are showing. It has no markings any where except for 326082 on the main plate? Also, missing spring under the barrel. Thanks again!
Greetings from Ireland Kalle. Did you ever discuss the final stage in timing a cylinder escapement with reference to the three dots?
can you please make a video of how to repair the balance cylinder staff in these watches as i have a lot of broken ones and no one has done this on youtube
Interesting Jeff, I'll see what i can do!
The end of the intro, a man says wow, That's James may from Top Gear right?
Magnificent watch Kalle. Great to see you at work. Ironically I just finished a movement very similar called a Fontainemelon, but it was in a solid silver case.
I was worried about using ultrasonic so cleaned it by hand. Would ultrasonic be ok to clean a gilt movement? And also I added some 9415 (just a tiny dot) to every 3 or 4 teeth on the escapement. Is that ok? Kind regards Deggsie
It should be fine as long as it's 42khz or higher frequency. I just cleaned a gilt 1890 Elgin 18s and it came out beautiful.
Dear Kalle, what if a part gets damaged within repairing?
Are there any spare parts to replace? and where can it be found?
Dear Saman, replacement part are very difficult to find for these old movements. We sometimes have to make parts ourselves during restoration. Kind regards, Kalle
In a situation where the brass has been worn down by a steel pin- would it be possible to remake the brass part out of steel?- I have heard many people mentioning this problem and I know the making a bushing and replacing it theory is the most common answer but I've never heard of anyone attempt to replicate the part out of steel- or for that matter why not press fit a steel bushing rather than a brass one?
Should be copper (the dial back) as you cannot enamel brass.
Interesting!
@@ChronoglideWatchmaking Well, there's one type of brass, that one can enamel - it's called enamelist tombac and it has
Hello, sorry to ask but I have a IWC SAP 74A with a balance broken pivot , where I can find some think like that! Thank you
Try ebay but older parts are getting scarce. We just got an IWC in that IWC itself could't repair in Schaffhausen.
hi master, I have a problem, with a pocket watch, cylinder escapement, the watch works great! the wheels without scales, turn very well, at the top! but when I put the scale on, the clock runs for a few hours, after which the second hand stops, at the same point, 8 o'clock, I don't understand why it stops! after that everything is okay! I have seen the rubies of the bridge of the Balance, and they are okay! then i saw the cylinder and it's okay! I tried to adjust the escapement…. but but nothing! what can be the problem? I wait for your answer thank you
Hoi Kalle ben nu wel erg nieuwsgierig geworden naar het vervolg ,het uiteindelijke eindresultaat
Is/komt er nog een vervolgvideo over dit horloge?zo ja gaarne info bedankt
Ik heb nog even gekeken Miriam, helaas hebben we van dit horloge geen beelden van het eindresultaat. De video is een tijd geleden opgenomen. Nu maken we die beelden wel. Bedankt voor de reactie!
