Man, unlike alot of watch channels that are more or less "styling watches" this channel actually helps one understand the aspects of mechanical watchmaking, to some degree. I find it fascinating and I'm able to appreciate the work that goes into it. Bravo.

It uses small amounts of materials, doesn't produce dangerous pollution and have really long service time, it can work literally for centuries. So all energy and harm to nature which came with its production is negligible for time for service. Even when thrown away - no toxic materials.

Video streaming, in the other hand, is mass poluting... So whining about hairspring making being harmful to the environment on youtube is quite cynical indeed...

Marc, please please please please please please please please please please please please please please PLEASE do more of these components videos! I know most of us know this stuff but SEEING it makes all the difference and it is vital for the growth of the Chanel that you take in more people who want to know but feel intimidated!

Excellent video. The key takeaway is the sorting process. No matter how much they control the manufacturing, in the end there is variation and the only way to get the best results is to sort and match hair springs to balance wheels through actual testing. This is the same way they make super precision ball bearings and high performance CPUs.

Very detailed and very easy to understand video. You did it once again Marc.

Always something new to learn. Not flat but round makes a difference. Must try to get better picture why this is so. Oh yes ,Thanks for the clip. Also, the precision and craftsmanship of a high quality watch translates to the pride of having a finely made tiny machine on ones wrist. A quartz movement will likely out perform it for accuracy but somehow soulless.

Marc André: Congratulations on a fascinating and informative episode. Very well written! I can see why these guys don't get bored. While their world might look very small from the outside, it's really a whole universe of variables and measurable effects. There's also a lore that they share amongst themselves and no one else. They probably tell each other hairspring jokes. They are a priesthood in a mystery cult. Also, thanks for the potato warning. I'll keep them away from my exhaust pipe.

loved this part 1 video.....seriously I need more to answer questions I have. So they start with four threads wound together then heated, when it comes out you have four springs that lay flat...how do they get them to rise up on each coil? I also want to see how they balance the balance wheel.

Great info*****

Marc Andre` thank you for your presentation, this subject dealing with precision watches requires one to become a master of the terminology that best refers to a specified object-matter, so not an easy task to master given that one must utilize the absolute correct terminology for each component. Very important. Yes, you do your presentation that is just so carefully timed that will allow the non-watch-function familiar persons.... to be able to comprehend.

There is a joy of taking a flat hairspring and pinning it to the collet, then forming an overcoil. This is why I like the older watches. When you watch the vibration of the hairspring, there is no side thrust on the staff. It "breathes" in a very natural way. I was taught two methods of forming the overcoil. My favorite is the Z-Bend. I prefer it esthetically, although it is harder to make and a little more prone to breakage.

great video! it's amazing that you're talking those things without drinking any water at all... 😂😂😂😂😂 by the way... it's amazing that someone really gets into hairspring as I considered the hairspring exam is the most difficult of all....(I've attended a watchmaking school and finished last year)... too bad that you can't show any part of the production process of making the spiral hairspring ... as I really curious about how to do that (including the spherical hairspring found in gyrotourbillon 3 and several other timepiece)...

Hi and thanks for this interesting comment!! Regarding the antagonistic approach you mention, I think it's a way for them to say that they can unite, which may sound a bit too much, but at the same time a positive note. But I totally agree with you that there are "deeper" ways of associating yourself with a noble cause. Can also be tricky, because again can feel that it's too much too, so needs to be done very cleverly. Best to you
