RUSTY Restoration - Abandoned 1934 wrist watch│Nicholas Hacko Master Watchmaker
Ойын-сауық
Broken and discarded, then found by Jim's grandson, this 1930s Swiss
A.S. watch is now ready for a new lease of life. Without any doubt this
was the most difficult restoration project so far.
A. Schild S.A. was a watch movement maker operating from the 1890s
through to the 1970s.
Adolph Schild began producing watch movements Grenchen, Solothurn after
1896. Schild produced many different movements and became one of the
largest movement makers in Switzerland by the 1920s. Schild movements
were used by many manufacturers in the 1950s through 1970s, including
such familiar names as Harwood, Fortis, Enicar, and even Jaeger-LeCoultre.
The quartz crisis of the 1970s hit Schild especially hard, as
inexpensive Japanese and quartz watches cut into the market for
volume-produced three-handed watches. By 1979, in order to survive the
Japanese onslaught, Schild merged with ETA.
What made this restoration painful is the fact that there was not a
single component that was not either affected by rust, broken, out of
shape or simply worn out. Thanks to two other AS554 donor movements, the
end result was luckily a success.
Make sure to watch until the very end to see what's coming next!

Do you actually make watches or it is just the channel's name?

The term watchmaker doesn’t necessarily mean he makes watches. You can get the title by doing watch repair

I like these restoration videos, there's no talking, just good jazz soundtrack. Like a dinner except with watchmakers restoration. as entertainment
Thanks, Nicholas Hacko. May you keep a name in yourself. ❤ I love watches, and so I looked at the restoration competently. I liked it .
Just amazing that a watch that has deteriorate over time can be returned to its former days, I have admiration for such skills and passing on your skills to your next generation, well done,
Thank you for showing me the smartest way to reconnect the hairspring!! I have fouled so many, but not any more!
These videos are the highlight of my week, great job once again Master Watchmaker 👌
It's gorgeous, sir. Thank you for saving this discard and making it a beautiful little timepiece again.
I was glad to see how you documented the replacement parts? I was wondering how many wouldn't be used over again!!👍👍
I love how you revived a timepiece from the past. I got teary eyed when you showed the before and after clip.
Not gonna lie. These are so relaxing to watch. Thank you for sharing. Only to wonder of the history of this timepiece.
Wonderful, another one back from beyond the brink. Thank you for sharing!
Absolute masterclass in restoration. I like the the escape wheel has it's own bridge. Less nerve-wracking to get it set properly.
Absolutely stunning transformation!
You could not ask for a better outcome, it is beautiful, great job.
wow. thank you! for the music, for showing us which parts you replaced, and the work is amazing.
That was a spectacular restoration. I love that era of watches. The style and font of the numbers on the face look really nice. Art deco era was very stylish.
Excellent job as always. Can't wait to see the rusty rolex
Love to see restored and not tossed out! Thanks
I started watching because of the title. Great stuff and the music is a pleasant addition
Quite simply Magnificent, Sir!
Piano jazz and watch restoration complement each other well. Nicely done, sir.

Chỉ cần Đức Phúc hát ballad thì dù buồn hay vui ĐP cũng truyền tải cảm xúc của bài hát rất tốt. Bài buồn thì nghe đúng kiểu tự sự, đau khổ, nghe là muốn khóc. Còn bài vui thì lại nhẹ nhàng, ấm áp, chân thành nghe là muốn yêu❤️
A true 'tour de force' to any watchmaker. Congrats.
Well Done Nick! You are a true craftsman
Same for me, now close to a new confinement more than ever these videos are a truly inspiration and a relaxing moment, keep on doing, not going to miss the next one. Thank you for these moments. Greetings from Barcelona

Another fantastic video Nick! I spotted the use of the Chokamour chocolate box lid :-) Also spotted the left hand thread which must be a trap for young players. Masterful.
