I think one of my favorite parts of this channel is the dialogue between family members

Your new camera is worth the wrath of the accountant! Another job well done. The movement looks more like a pocket watch than a wristwatch. It's lovely when craftsmen care enough to decorate parts that most will never see.

@NekkidWatchmaker

3 жыл бұрын

Thanks Peter. Yes I think a lot of wristwatch movements from that era were just adaptations of pocket watch movements. It was probably easier to just shrink everything down instead of a full redesign, that’s my guess

What fascinates me is the beauty of the internal components and design. Something only the manufacturer and restorer can enjoy and appreciate. People typically don’t take apart their watch and marvel at the engineering….

I am in awe of the person or persons who, back in the age, designed this watch movement, created the incredibly small fitting with such precision.

Your Mark needs to be in these watches! That is the history of the watch! You should want to be in the history of every watch that you restore and that goes through your shop. Plain and simple! You not leaving your mark in the watch is taking something from the watch!!!

The commentary is what is special about your videos.

A great class from a great teacher... I'm not a watch expert, but both my grandfather and great grandfather were watchmakers... I'm just an admirer... Kudos!

Just discovered you. I didn't realise how absorbing watch servicing is! You brought a memory back from the early 1980s, when at an engineering exhibition in Glasgow there was a company exhibiting microscopic screws which were for the watchmaking industry. They had 3 turns and were 3 thousands of an inch across. Without a microscope they just looked like dust. I was impressed...

Restoring history. This is how watchmaking should be. The detailed steps, so intricately applied makes it the finest finish.

Kid's are priceless! It broke by itself, hysterically innocent.

To disassemble a watch that old need enormous knowledge and Confidence, something like going to war, salute to the Watchmaker and the Restorer.

Nothing better than coming home from a hard days work and having a new video from this blessed soul Mr. Nekkid. Cheers my good man.

A nice little back story, disassemble, clean, and reassemble. Relatively simple and Bob's your uncle. (Not to mention considerable craftsmanship, a good sense of humor (or humour) and hours of inspired film editing.) As always, thanks for sharing.

This movement is truly a thing of great beauty. Those separate little bridges on the power train form a design that looks almost organic, like the segments of a sea shell creature or a flower maybe. Always a great honour to work on antique movements, knowing that those who created such things of majesty are long gone from this Earth. We are merely the present day custodians of their beautiful legacy. You Sir, did a great job here and I believe that because of what you did this little watch will be ticking away on this planet after our time is long gone too. Peace.. ✌

Previously in my life I've never had any interest in watch repairs or restoration. In fact I don't even own a watch! Then I stumbled upon your channel just by chance. Now I'm addicted and hoping to buy a watch soon too.

I’m watching a genius master craftsman service a masterpiece all the while sadly reminiscing a about when my sons were young and wanted to help me do every task. Such warm memories.

to design a watch from scratch, make a blue print of all the parts and have all the pieces made that to me is the amazing part.

I always find watching these repair videos very satisfying. Pardon the pun.

I've just recently found your channel and have watched you restore several time pieces. I can without a doubt say that you are gifted in what you do. Your mark is worthy in my opinion. I must say that this is my favorite time piece that you have done so far. My grandfather had one just like it and this video reminded me of him. Thank you for that. Keep doing what you do. Because of this video I'm going to try and find this particular watch and have it restored if needed. You are brilliant with your skills.

I've mentioned before that my dad was a watchmaker. In the early days he fixed clocks and would bring them home to test the timekeeping. Many of them chimed, and lots were cuckoo clocks. You can imagine what 12 noon was like!
