This was an awesome video and well worth the wait! Now I understand why my gorgeous strap was slightly delayed. Thanks to Mrs. Saving Time for the updates on my order. It was also well worth the wait! Thank you for sharing your talents with us in RUclips land! I am truly in awe and have been waiting on this project like a child on Christmas!
Thank you I appreciate your custom and your kind words. Glad you liked the project bit of a weird one this time around, but the watch world can be very serious, have to lighten it up every once in a while.
@@Saving-Time Your statement is so on point and I have definitely learned that in a short period of time! I am looking forward to seeing the finished product on Wasting-Time. Thanks again!
Ah, a new treat My favorite Friday entertainment, clicked for the project and stayed for the finger shots. Also happy to hear that you are kind of learning female Swedish in the English dialect. It can take a lifetime to understand, but it's quite impossible to master. True story.
The "film" you found on the movement reminds me of dried vegetable oil. You know, the resinous film that forms near a deep fat fryer. 🤭 I love all the care and detail you devote to your projects. Much respect 🫡🤝
Strap making and now dial making. Pretty cool. I found with the Chinese mainspring winders that if you drill out some of the arbor holes to larger sizes, you can use these to be more like the generic Bergeon winders for far less cost. That gives you the flexibility to use different arbors with the winders.
Hi David - I’m a watch fan and worked 35 years in the movie business and always wanted to get custom dials made for the various movies as a gift to crewmates but could never get anything reasonable ( I did get a quote from Bamford back in 2012- when they were still doing interesting work - and it was laughably expensive!😂 Like you did, I would get the movies concept artist to do the art, easy-peasy , but then always hit a wall….So go for it : there is a very nice niche for this if it is at all reasonable lay priced. Thank you.
Thank you, I can only imagine the price you got quoted by Bamford! This one was just a bit of fun for my wife. I worked in the VFX industry for a while so I know quite a few artists. I've been 100% unsuccessful at borrowing some Arri cameras to film with though 😂 Glad you enjoyed the video. Appreciate you letting me know.
David, what a joy to watch this video. You are super talented. Not many watch hobbyist can makes straps and hand paint a dial with laser. Absolutely stunning and fantastic, and a joy to watch. Bravo maestro! 💪
@@Saving-Time you are a genuine master at so many things, it's hard to wrap my head around! Thank you for your kind words and coming from you, it means a lot.
@@Saving-Time Well, let me put it this way, normally you restore watches with precision and craftsmanship, which I love very much, but this project also embodies a real artistic ardour and only marginally you are also blessed in that respect. So I think the project deserves the respect it deserves. With that in mind, all the best and have a wonderful and relaxing Sunday.
Great stuff and very informative. I'm going to have a go at this myself. Which laser did you use? You have my sympathy on the translation of wife-ese. "I don't want any chips" translates to "I'll have your chips when you get them".
I'm familiar with that one too, you get better and better at decoding the lingo with time :) I used a cheap small diode laser from AliExpress. Good luck with the dial project!
Thank you, I used something from the local art store because I didn't have time to wait for delivery but I would recommend the brushes from Rosemary & Co www.rosemaryandco.com/ They make great quality brushes which makes a huge difference when you're painting so it's worth paying a bit extra.
Fingers crossed this gets you out of the doghouse, if the strap manufacture video never arrives, I guess we have our answer. Great to hear the atelier has taken off so well.

Beautiful!! This guys kills the dial and then just slaps it all together. 😮
My god man, your vid is like watching paint dry.... Lol. Super presentation as always. Love the history lesson as well.
Thank you for my next video i'll be doing water evaporation :)

You are most welcome, happy your liking the content. A bit strange this one, so I did not expect it to resonate with everyone.

Wow! Amazing piece. Fantastic work with the dial. Bravo
Glad you like it! Thank you
I am loving your monster watch dial. Very enjoyable. I hope Mrs Saving time has released you from the doghouse.
Thank you for the kind words. I'm out of the doghouse, for now :)

Fantastic looking watch, one i would wear,
Thank you glad you liked it
Now that's fine .
Cheers :)
Brilliant work,can you tell me please what pencil are you using?

What $150 Laser did you use? Great Work!! Love the way you put your Videos together.
You never cease to amaze…excellent…well done👍…for your next project, you should paint the last supper on the head of a matchstick…hahaha
Thank you! I think that might just be a bit outside my skill set ;)
Amazing work, do you paint dials for a dee? Thanks
I do not or at least not yet not sure i ever will. Depends on the fee i guess lol Thanks for the kind words
What laser did you use to print?
Fingers crossed this gets you out of the doghouse, if the strap manufacture video never arrives, I guess we have our answer. Great to hear the atelier has taken off so well.
I'm out of the dog house;, everything is fine :D
Im sure you'll be "fine" if Mrs. watches this video lol
I'm sure i will, lol Not sure in what scene of the word though.
@@Saving-Time hahaha, great work on the dial and the mechanism
I loved it
Lume for the eyes? or just one eye ....
I did think about it. i'll probably go back and make the indexes lumed, add lumed hands and maybe eyes
