Restoration of an antique pre-WW2 pocket watch - 100 year old Cyma 777 - german empire silver case
Ойын-сауық
This time I´m restoring a Cyma pocket watch. It´s from the pre-world-war 2 period and about 100 years old.
It´s powered by the Cyma 777 caliber a hand-wind movement with 15 rubis and it beats at 18000 bph.
That pocket watch is in a bad condition: The silver-case has tarnished over decades, the glass is broken and the movement isn´t running at all. There is some corrosion on the dial and the hands are dirty and bent.
Unfortunately watches from that age doesn´t have a shock-protection so the balance staff is broken. It was hard to find a new replacement-balance but I was lucky.
I´m cleaning the case by an electrochemical reaction with aluminium and soda-water and polish it afterwards. The glass will be replaced (or maybe I just turned back the time by 100 years?)
After everything is cleaned and polished, I can re-assemble the movement with some fresh oil. After some fine-tuning, this watch is in a fantastic beat (+4 seconds per day) again.
I´ve added some (super-)slow-motion and macro-scenes - let me know in the comments what you think about it.
I hope you liked this restoration, if so, like, comment and subscribe ;)

10/7/2021 I have a Hamilton model 992, which belonged to my train engineer, great uncle, and made in 1934.. I once had the watch cleaned and repaired. The man would not charge me for his work saying that it was fun doing the work. After seeing this video, I now understand how he felt. What an outstanding video, thank you for sharing your passion. ;-)

I have a 992B , a bit newer. Have had it for near 50 yrs and never had to have it serviced. I think Hamilton was likely the best in it's day!
Oh so many pieces to lose. I would never be able to put this back together without some left over parts. Great job!!
Reasons I love this channel. No talking, no goofy music played through whole video, excellent video and sound quality. 5 stars
Thank you for down memory lane. Our papas daddy was a watch repairman. It was awesome to see him smile when he saw the cleaning cages, Parkinson’s won’t let him smile much anymore. He still has a Bulova Accutron and the tuning fork hums at night on his night stand. He thinks it was the last watch his daddy repaired and gave to him for a birthday present in 1970.
Just to think this delicate watch survived the great depression & mass unemployment of the 20s, the 3rd Reich and World War 2 in the 30s & 40s, Black Market trades in the 50s and whatever else was thrown at it over time. Always there was someone caring enough to preserve and save it.

Never watched a watch repair video ever! This blows me away.
I think the craftsman, who produced this watch, would be proud to have it in the hands of such a attentive professional.
I really enjoy these videos, the most amazing thing about them is how many moving parts and the attention to tiny detail required to make and/or repair a watch. Please never stop doing this! So satisfying
This is an incredible restoration of a pocket watch with a history of 100 years. I have a Grandpa Rotary like this in the video. Fortunately it still works! Congratulations on your unique technique ! ⌚⌚⌚⌚

This is so relaxing and satisfying. Thank you for the silence.. just the clicks and the soft sounds of cleaning fixing the watches! Perfect
There is something quite magical about the machinations of old watches. I imagine it is so gratifying to assemble all these disparate parts into something that seems to live in its own.
Patience in every sense of the word. And an appreciation for the function of all the tiny mechanisms and parts that make beautiful timepieces.
Restoration and Talent to bring back to life a piece of History. Who's hands this past from and the stories it could tell🤔. Bravo good Sir your ability to pump life into these master pieces is amazing. Thank you for allowing us to enjoy it.
Люблю смотреть как работают люди которые знают что и как надо делать. Всегда приятно наблюдать работу мастера, особенно когда она столь скрупулезна, лично меня это умиротворяет) спасибо за такое качественное видео!

Of all restorations, this must be the most rewarding, to bring back to life such a piece of history.
If you upgrade the time machine with a larger flux capacitor, you could put the whole watch in it and bring it back to its original state with no effort.

Thanks for your time and effort, in making these videos. 👍✌
I know I am not the only one who gets a smile on their face when that notification bell has a new video from Red Dead Restoration!! These are quite amazing to watch.
words can not describe how magnificently this pocket watch looks! It also looks like it could belong to the Doctor.
Amazed!! 100 years ago how delicate the watch was assembled with such refined pieces!! Unbelievable!! Great video!!
So much to love here! The new camera angles, I especially like the view of the components going into the cleaning bath. The slow motion of the balance wheel was amazing. And then, where do I start with the time machine? You, my friend, are a master! Keep it up!

I love these old time pieces. They are a work of art as well as being functional machines. Great Job on the restoration. More...More...More.
i have always wanted a antique fob watch for 60 odd years !
I love that old cleaning machine. And God how I wish I had a Flux Capacitor...lol Your work amazes me. Thank you.
I have my grandparents watches both over 106 years old. I’d love to have grandfather’s watch restored. It has some damage from some heavy use. But it’s fascinating to watch these heirlooms restored.
A great job bringing the watch back to its former glory. I hope the owner appreciated your work.
That someone treated a work of art like this with such lack of care bothers me more than I expected it to. Beautiful restoration.
Unglaublich! Bin zutiefst beeindruckt von einem solchen Level an handwerklichem Können, den jeweils detailliert gezeigten Arbeitsschritten, der Sorgfalt sowie der extremen Präzision und dem technischen Equipment. Das ist wirklich allerhöchstes Niveau!
The dial and caseback are gorgeous. Could imagine this being turned into a very interesting Frankenwatch.
Love the flux capacitor. Comes in handy when you need to retrieve new parts from the past! 😉

I knew old watches had a ton of moving parts, but I never know it was THAT many. They really are works of art and wonders of engineering.
Beautiful restoration job on that classic Cyma timepiece.. a historical piece. Great workmanship on restoring it. Kudos to you..
Its amazing how much gears and do do-dads go into making a watch even today. I could never put one back together.
You do absolutely magnificent work I love old pocket watches they're the most interesting timepieces on the planet
Yet again KZread has suggested a channel that I did not know that I needed in my life! Glad to see there were very few comments about the "patina". This watch did not have patina, it was tarnish through failure to look after it properly. It has been restored to the state that, even after 100 years, it should have been in had it been cared for. Well done Sir, you are a master of your craft. Thank you for sharing. Another new subscriber. BTW my dog is still watching me curiously as when you opened the main spring casing and it made a loud noise, I gasped in surprise!
What the heck I replayed 7 times because I fell asleep. A truly relaxing video
Can we apreciate how a awesome watchmaker is he? Those values on the timegraph on a POCKET WATCH? Absolute outstanding work.
It’s amazing.. hundreds of thousands of people relax to these videos..
Another beautiful Cyma is resurrected. Superb.
Absolutely beautiful. And the slow motion is great! All the camera work is wonderful. Thanks for the video!
Well, about him, the watch is worth all this trouble. An excellent, very old watch. It is a masterpiece. You are really good at bringing it back to life.
I can't stop watching these refurbishments... I feel relaxed...

Trabalho incrível! Certamente exige paciência, atenção e gostar do que faz! Parabéns!
My favorite moment is installation the balance. It's a miracle. The heart of the machine began to beat again. And one more thing... It may well be that the person who assembled this watch 100 years ago does not even have a grave left. And the fruits of his labor are still with us. The hands of the master bring them back to life and the soul of the one who created them is invisibly present in the frame.
Oh my. What a wonderful restoration. It was a joy to watch x
Masterful. And I agree with the person who suggested some explanations of each step. Either way, very satisfying to watch!

I have an obsession to vintage/antique things, like they have a sense of uniqueness and I feel in peace just by seeing them... Idk why, so, I really want to horde these things.
Very nice work. Interesting that you could still find a balance wheel. I like seeing someone with your skills not letting a piece of history go to waste. Well done, sir.

What an absolute pleasure to watch. Beautiful craftsmanship.👍
Wonderful job and videography, thank you. It is a joy to see a master craftsman in any field.
A friend of my uncle has one of these, same mechanism, different "garnishments". Has been in his family from day one, and in total, it has been taken to be repaired and maintained only ~30 some times, most of which are recent (post 90's). Beautifully simple and robust movement.
Slo mo, restoration, asmr, relaxation all at one place 😊
That is a beautiful time piece, great to see you bring it back to life
I am impressed that it was possible to machine all the detailed little parts on such a tiny scale back in that time. Great job restoring this beauty. 👏

True gift of the hand! 👏🏼
That's an absolutely gorgeous watch!
No matter how often I watch this and the other videos, I still find myself holding my breath like I would if I was doing the work!
Came across this video while looking for wristwatch restoration, and i have to say that the beauty of this object brought me to tears - very unexpectedly! The intricate design, the authenticity of something so delicate and made with care, restored with the same care and attention over 100 years later. I'm in my mid 20s, so this watch is older than my parents, grandparents, its older than anyone i will ever know and yet the peices still work together harmoniously, it really is so beautiful. This video was an emotional rollercoaster! To my surprise, i was deeply touched, and very much in love with this object. This video has brought me a huge amount of unexpected joy and emotion, so..thanks! And keep doing what you're doing. Really great work. 👍

Always a pleasure watching your very professionally-looking watch repair videos. As with any of these watch repair channels I am addicted to, I wish you, and others, would include the history of the piece, from when it was made to how it ended up in your hands. Thanks.

Lovely looking pocket watch and great work getting back to looking and working good again 👍
Geweldig om weer te zien lopen bedankt
Absolute perfection in craftsmanship, mesmerising to even watch, just a shame you don’t do it for a living as I can see you’ve gone to a lot of trouble with all that specific machinery and tools you have there, and the trouble is I am finding it harder and harder to find anyone to even service my pocket watches let alone restore them.
I can hardly see the case never mind the parts inside. A master craftsman at work.
Another astonishing result here. I do so enjoy watching how you slowly and surely breathe life back into these old derelict watches. This video is particularly good because, being a pocket watch, the parts are larger and it is easier to see what is going on. Thank you for posting.
Amazing how he fixed the glass. That's awesome! 😊👍

So relaxing to watch.
Looks like my grandpas pocketwatch... mechanically spoken Mine is mmuch more simple on the outside, but has a nice railroad engraving on the back. Cause he was working for the GDR Reichsbahn.
