A Tourbillon disassembled (and reassembled)!
Ойын-сауық
Tourbillons are mesmerizing and they are becoming affordable to the masses. Join Stian for a review and stripdown of a tourbillon watch from the Chinese brand Agelocer! We'll discuss the history of the tourbillon and whether it really has any purpose in a wristwatch.
As usual we'll go on a few tangents, including having a color expert weigh in on the electromagnetic spectrum choices in this watch and we'll give a shout-out to the British Mathematical Institute!
Agelocer is celebrating their 10th anniversary this month of May 2023 and is giving a 20% discount on all of their watches. Find yours here: www.agelocershop.com/

Amazing work. Love the explanation of the design and the intended impact on the timekeeping. Well done Stian!

@@LIONTAMER3DI'm pretty sure that almost, if not all, jeweled movements require lubrication. After all, it's a metal part rubbing against a gemstone. There have been some advancements to use less liquid lubricants by using non-metal parts such as silicone or using dry lubricant such as graphite, but any traditional jeweled movements, including Swiss, do require lubrication maintenance. It's just that the reputable brands lubricate the movements properly, so they last longer before they require servicing. You can google it to verify it yourself, or watch any of "Wristwatch Revival" youtube videos where he works on numerous Swiss movements--all requiring jewel lubrication. Actually, I recommend that channel to anyone who appreciates mechanical watches!

I’ve never seen a Tourbillon disassembled and reassembled before. That seems like a very good price for what seems like a pretty good watch. I’d be interested in seeing how a double barrel works in terms of adding to the watch’s power reserve.
Thank you for sharing your work
What's amazing is that a tourbillon looks fairly simple to manufacture for a company that makes decent mechanical watches already

it is simple nowaday, watch companies just scare people with its complexity to skyrocket the price, Swiss watches are super overpriced. We can produce nanometer chip today, nothing in the mechanical watch cannot be perfectly done with machines, "hand finish" is another magic world to 100x the cost ;) Watches that cost as much as a house? that seems about right :))))
Great job Thank you always wondered how they work.
Excellent work as always Stian, and the entertaining talk through.
Absolutely the best! So small, so complicated, keep up the good work. Love your videos.
great video especially for the novice(mise), very informative, nice shooting too, thanks
As John "longitude" Harrison realized centuries ago, you have to make the movement as frictionless as possible. Your reassembly is phenomenal.
I own two Chinese tourbillon and no issues in 14 years. Not one issue.

I really enjoy your channel and the art of watchmaking. I am with you about the size of the watch as I only own a couple of vintage pieces because the size is right for me. Keep up the good work and look forward to future videos.
I've had my Stuhrling Tourbillon for 13 years and it still keeps great time.
Wonderful video. It was fascinating to watch.
I have this very same watch. I love the fact that you can get a tourbillon for less than a grand - and it looks good too! Yes, under magnifying glass, the finish isn't great but how many people carry a magnifying glass with them to inspect other people's watches? LOL. I wanted a turbillon and a skeleton watch in my collection and this fit the bill perfectly. Just goes to show that it doesn't have to cost a lot to be a nice watch. For the quality and price, I think it's a steel. Right next to my Omegas and Rolex's.

I definitely use my automatic wrist watch for time keeping. I also like to set my bezel on the hour I leave for work, usually at 4 am. It reminds me around 2pm I need to stop working after a 10 hour day
Cool, thank you sir Breguet for the tourbillion. God bless whoever invented the mechanical clock and watch.

I think you're right, a dial would be nice on this watch with just a window in the dial to see the tourbillon. Love watching the tourbillion move as the watch runs! Thanks for posting.
Your skill is inspiring and I admire your videos and the watch industry knowledge you provide. So inspired, in fact, that I decided to repair my own Chinese watch, a Guanjin automatic with a day-date complication. I bought it because it was inexpensive and very attractive. Something was wrong with the keyless works and the day-date mechanism. Everything else worked and it kept good time. How hard could it be? After I opened the watch, I discovered dozens of paper-thin stamped parts and a mechanism for the day-date and the winding mechanism unlike any I ever have seen. I still hold hope that I will be able to fix it. Professional service would cost more than the price of the watch, so I probably will discard it if I can't fix it myself.
Second time through this video. This channel and wristwatch revival are two folks I can listen to 24/7. As an absolute amateur the information is phenomenal. Thank you captain!! P.S. the child's queries make a man well up. Swell

Dear Stian, thank you so much for sharing this very beautiful and highly instructive video with the watch-loving community. I also bought a Chinese tourbillon (made by Sugess with a Seagull movement) a couple of years back and totally agree with you: the less you are distracted from the tourbillon, the more you can enjoy it. The only issue I have with my watch is that the hands look cheap, which is a pity. However, there is very little on the "blue gold stone" dial, not even the brand's name, which is cool.

@@LIONTAMER3D So I just looked and the chronometer certification requires a maximum deviation of 6 seconds per day, which is nice but still not even close to a cheap $5 quartz watch. My point still stands, automatic watches aren't bought for accuracy, we're not in the 18th century anymore. I do appreciate those things for the craftsmanship, design etc, but "precision timekeeping capability" is a rather subjective term, just like "trinket".

@SaHaRaSquad accuracy for Swiss watches, apples to apples mate. They all lose to quartz lol. There's a reason why officially certified chronometers/chronographs cost more & I'm not in a position to explain it to you. Also, 6 is the max allowable deviation; Longines Ultrachron is at 3, most Rolex/Zodiac watches 4, and 5 for just about everything else. However, when you have self-correcting mechanisms (think tourbillons) you get extreme accuracy & guess what else? Go on...

That 'gap' that you can't unsee is very appealing to me. It makes a watch of that complexity -- the tourbillon -- look much more spartan, thus amazing. Since it's mostly for eye appeal anyway, like jewellery, it doesn't detract. Also, for around $800, what's not to like. Good video.
Nice 👍 job
Well you don't get to see a tourbillon being taken apart every day so this was very interesting to watch. Cheers Stian
What a HUGE difference just a clean and lube made even on a new watch. My little Seiko is running fast so I guess it needs a service.... that costs about the same as the watch ($150 from Seiko NZ), but I like it so I'll get it done as soon as I can afford it. I've only had it for about two years too....
