Just a small wrist watch, but an engineering masterpiece in itself.
This is a clear and beautiful explanation. Even though I've seen it all go together, it still seems like magic that it all works so perfectly.

Outstanding! I think I learned more about how a watch works in this five-minute video than probably from an instruction manual. Can't wait for your next restoration!

After watching this video, I decided to test my new-found knowledge, so I took apart an old wind-up wristwatch I had. But when I put it all back together again, I had several extra parts left over, and my watch still isn't working.
After many hundreds of hours of watching movement restoration videos during lockdown, I now understand how they work! Thank you.
The slow-motion of the hairspring looked like it was breathing. And just like us, a watch is like heartbeats. Your videos are interesting, pristine, and relaxing.
I love watching shows like this, initially I was put off by no commentary, but sometimes it's just nice to watch a craftsman at working in silence in a world that is all noise all the time, thank you.
I always wondered how mechanical watches worked. I feel like a big mystery has just been revealed to me. Thanks for sharing this wonderful video 😊
I’ve always been fascinated by watches. To understand how they work and the skill required to make them work never ceases to amaze me. Thanks for such an informative video.
This is a *very* good explainer, because you show not only the assembly but also what effect each component practically has. Imo the *best* "how a watch works" video out there. A followup with self-winding and chrono modules would ofc be great; though I appreciate that those might be more difficult to demonstrate. Random thought... It would be nice to have a movement like this (whether by ETA or a custom modification) where the back plates were transparent (e.g. milled sapphire); as is they cover up so much of the watch mechanisms...

Quite a few manufacturers do this already, especially more modern watches, less so on vintage. It looks awesome.

There's just something so special about horology that some people who aren't into it won't get.
I have watched this video about 10 times and still can't understand this at all. :D
I got my first automatic watch and seeing the attention to detail and craft behind it is so fascinating! Makes me appreciate it much more
As a person who always watching watches content everyday, this is probably the most simple video to understand how mechanical watch works..thanks mate
Wow, I have even more love for mechanical watches than I did before. Such precise craftsmanship, such an amazing piece of tech! Lovely video, simple and easy to understand.
I wear a vintage Imperial "25 Jewel" watch that has a 17 jewel movement, manual, I always just knew they had gears in them but never knew how they worked in order, this video taught me a lot about my watch and how the layers and different parts qork together to make a watch work.
I love all of your videos, but this one Is the best one so far. Always got lost when I saw you put back together the watch but this changes everything. Great work 🙌🏽
Short, to the point, but incredibly good. I find it really cool that the movement is kept in black.
Very clear and easy to understand! The slow motion of the balance wheel was especially helpful to show how it keeps time at a specific rare! Thank you!
The precision of those tiny parts is mind boggling.
This is a great concise starting point for anyone who is just getting in to mechanical watches. Well done.
No one talked but this is by far the video that made me understand more about the functions of a mechanical watch.
I still don't understand how it knows to change every second, minute, or hour with perfect precision. How ❤🕊
Assembly aside, how on earth were such tiny mechanisms manufactured in the past? It's a work of art. I imagine watchmen also had a mini lathe or something.
Incredibly beautiful to watch. Thanks for sharing.
What an awesome lesson on the inner workings of a basic watch. It will no doubt still be a few weeks before I am ready to take on a Rolex, but at least I know what a pallet fork does now. Thank you so much.

One of the best videos I've seen. It amazes me that all these small parts work in perfect harmony together. It's rather peaceful to be honest.
Even though it can't beat a quartz watch's accuracy, who wouldn't want to wear a mechanical watch? How intricate and awesome are they!!
Excellent video showing the precision machining required to keep the delicate interconnected parts in perfect sync and harmony . A horological work of art that amazes with its reliability and beauty. RDR , myself and other viewers would like to hear you rank watch brands from best to worst in terms of actual quality . The snobbery that is an unfortunate part of the luxury watch world makes an impartial appraisal difficult for investment and enjoyment.
Génial ! You won the "Most helpfull" award. I can't wait to go back home and try to do something with those broken watches I bought on an impulse...
Excellent demonstration which clarifies the working of a mechanical watch will concise precision. Love the simplicity of the movement used, which appears to be parred down to the essentials. Well done.
Possibly the best video on watch mechanicals out there. Can hardly understand why some charlatan watchmakers make such a big deal of their profession. Fortunately, I have experienced some 'old school' watchmakers who love what they do and their results are amazing.
this is fascinating! To see all of the different mechanisms working together in such a small but life changing device, and to think of the person who invented the first watch. Phew! Incredible! thanks for sharing!
Another incredible view into human engineering. The mechanical watch. Humans developed a way to measure time on earth and then constructed a device like this completely void of electricity to monitor time with absolute precision. Simply amazing.
You explained in layman's term, fantastic video with 5 min precision ending.
I simply just want the movement. It looked lovely in the black!
I find it outstanding how watch components this tiny would have been made back in the day!
Thank you Dr. Manhattan. Hope humanity isn't disappointing you too much.
Super informative. Thanks. It’s amazing how human intuition discovered how to put all these parts together to create something super efficient.
Clearly shown just what is needed to be shown.. loved the video. Finally the question of how watch hands precisely rotate just enough to turn a sec is answered.
Amazing job, I've been watching a lot of watch repair videos and I didn't get how a watch work until I saw this video 👏 bravo. Thank you for your effort and great display
Absolutely wonderful and exactly what I wanted to understand!
Thank you for that, the black main plate and bridges gave clarity to how the whole movement is put together. It gave me a better understanding of how it works.
This is the best, superb clarity. Hoping to see how the mainspring slowly gets unwound as the watch ticks
What’s more amazing is how the idea of a time piece became reality.
What a great video with so beautiful music! It truly depicts the love of watchmaking by its creator. Simplicity and percision. Thank you for sharing again with us this love! Cheers!
Thank you for this video, clear and concise.
I think this is the best explanation I have ever seen of how a mechanical watch movement works. Excellent video.
what an absolut beautifull video, thank you very much.
This was great. Would love to see a video like this on an automatic as well. Great work! ♥️
For some reason, with all of the repair and movement explanation videos I've watched, it never dawned on me that you wouldn't be able to wind the main spring without the escapement in place (which makes perfect sense, of course). Thank you for this.
Excellent explanation accompanied by relaxing music!
Excellent introduction, easy to understand how a mechanical watch works. The Black caliber looks cool, thank you.
Beautiful. Simple and to the point. Not to mention outstanding footage on how it all fits together. Absolutely gorgeous!
That sound at the end. .. Just beautiful
Best video out there explaining how it works
Perfect. Very informative. Love this black movement.
Beautifully explained with a simple movement. 🙏🏻
What a beautifully filmed production. It is great to now have more of an idea what is going on inside the the device sitting on my wrist every day.
Best 5 minutes I invested in a while.
Cannot wait to watch this!! Always wondering how the watches you restore actually work!
Very good breakdown of the basics. Thanks
Straight to the point no unnecessary nonsense, one video and an immediate sub
It feels like that I was exploring the other world. How amazing it is that all the things around us have some mechanism in which they work.This video has made me curious to know more about things which appear simple but have complicated and amazing mechanism.
I love the quality and effort you out in your videos.
Que maravilla! un sistema totalmente mecánico de antaño que sigue vigente marcando las horas y la admiración de muchos 👍
This is precise engineering and art blended together in astronomical proportion. Mesmerizing motion , the gears the jewels , spellbinding !
Really understand more. Getting in to fixing watch as a Hobby and Really enjoying it. I am a quick learner and like to learn new things. Love this video
This was awesome!! I love it, so perfectly explained and the editing along with music was very enjoyable. Will watch again!🥰 Thanks!
Brilliant explanation with outstanding cinematography.
awesome vid! definitely something i’ve wanted to learn about and you made it so simple to understand! i went and tried turning the crown on one of my automatics and it’s wayyyy more efficient than jostling it to get it started like i have been doing! thank you for the video!
Thank you. I’m really thinking about going to watch repair school. I really enjoy the precision work. ❤
What a beautiful watch. The face was striking in its simplicity. I would love to know who made it.
Incredible, I have no words to describe what am I looking out, great job!!!
Such simple yet informative video. Thank you.
In just five minutes, I've learned how a watch works in more than basic detail. 👏🏾 👏🏾
And yet another awesome tutorial from the Master of time keeping himself❤️.
Marvelous short film...thank you
One of the best video about mechanical watches working procedure .
Dear Sir. His hobby is really amazing, although I imagine it will be his usual job. The ease it shows is amazing. Congratulations on your videos and congratulations too for your pleasant work as a final result. I like watches a lot, and I have a manual mechanism Dogma made in the 40’s/50’s from my grandpa and it is working!!
Thanks for making this informative and different video. Very interesting and simple learning. Goodluck !!!
What a wonderful explanation! Thank you!
I know this, yet I'll still watch it time and again. It's so elegant and amazing
This, is art!
awesome 👏
Simple! Great! Relaxing... Thank you for this.
Beautiful video 👏👏👏 Thank you 🙏
This was amazing! Please make more educational videos and compare between movements of different brands. It will also be great to learn from you about the most reliable movements (brands or watches) for a specific price range.
Very satisfying.
Thank you for effort and sharing piece of beautiful art❤
How intelligent the inventor of the system was!
Wow what a great explanation. After watching this as a novice watch modder I think am going to start the next step. Cheers
