  Awesome presentation! I'm so curious about this clock's features and function, knowing nothing about it. I'll go back and search for your previous video of the total rebuild of one like this. I don't understand the purpose and operation of the tape drive. And curious to know why the clock runs on 24 volts instead of 120. My apologies, I"m new to all this!!!! Love your channel and all your episodes!!!! Thank you!!

  I've been dealing with a Siemens-Halske 1959-ish master clock and been struggling with how would I maintain it since it needs a complete cleaning from old improper grease. Thanks to your video I just now realised that the pendulum and the mechanism are not connected, just engaged! That helps a buch. Seems obvious in hindsight! thanks

  Liked and subbed Edgar Rice Burroughs (Tarzan, John Carter, etc.) powned his watch when he was 35. Leads are welcome :)

  Thank you so much! I was worried I'd just bought a cheap piece of junk watch at a festival, but now it's going!

  in the early 2000's I stayed at a house with a master slave clock setup, possibly from a post office, I recall the slave clocks being wired in series, possibly something similar would happen for these

  You have been an amazing force for me to meet. I have a love of clocks from my father who never really took me through a process like this. We also shared a love of boats. I am having so much fun learning with you. Thank you. I have 3 wall clocks with carved wooden cases that I inherited and look forward to finding a video that might help me. I am 80 yrs old and would love to at least start soon!!

  In conductor training for the CSX in 1998, I recall they had no criteria for a "railroad watch." They told us there was standard RR time, and it was the train crew's responsibility to adhere to it. I believe you could check the time via radio. I was in freight service, so time was only critical if you had a track warrant valid between certain times. When you accessed the company computer, for example to clock in and out, the computer put the time in for us.

  I’ve just purchased one of these and it is a thing of beauty. You explain brilliantly how it works. Thank you. I am astonished how well it keeps time - mine gains a couple of seconds a week. The massive spring and fusee driving the time recorder is astounding.

  Hello, I just found your video. I have 2 Walthams, and I have 1 Hampden. I'd love to find out more. The Hampden has a 1901 date engraved on the front cover and a small church engraved on the back cover. It has Stars between Roman numbers and the hands are gold tone. The cover is gold filled. Can u tell me and info and possibly value just from my description? Thanks.

  I worked for Standard Electric Time from 1972 to 1978. I trained on the "60" beater clocks. I have some service data. International time became Simplex. Standard was always standard. Standard was owned by Johnson Controls in the 70's. Standard was sold to Faraday. Faraday was eventually adsorbed into siemens. The Standard products were discontinued.

  Thank you so much for putting this video out there. There is nothing in the way of a calendar movement video explaining parts except this one. I have a Waterbury Calendar no 43 that needs work. Totally different patent and style, no lever, single rod down, but this helps me get an idea of what does what. Thank you again.

  Thank you for that! Is it possible to learn anything from a serial number on just a bezel? I do not have the rest of the watch, as I found the bezel metal detecting and there were no other pices nearby.

  How did you replace the clicking arm so the cable gear wouldn’t fall or unwind. I have a grandfather clock, cable driven, that simply unwinds when you wind it up. Thx

  Newbie question: I've the same clock, but can't manually advance the minute hand - it doesn't want to move without seeming to strain the gear train?

  @MinnesotaClocksandWatches3 ай бұрын

  Thanks for your comment. It's hard to know without being at the clock, as this clock does require quite a bit more force to set than a typical mechanical clock. Does the clock run? If the hands advance as the clock runs on its own power, that's a good indication that the resistance you are feeling is due to the friction washer that allows you to set the time, and you can probably push a little bit harder on the hands to see if you can move them (make sure you only go forward). If the clock will not run, that indicates that something is bound up. My clock's printing mechanism was completely frozen with grease that had dried. If you disconnect the drive shaft between the time movement and the printing mechanism, does that help? If so, you know the issue is at least partly in the printing mechanism. If the clock hasn't been serviced in the last 10 years or so, that would certainly help.

  What is a "Railroad" watch? 1) An Accurate mechanical pocket watch that when properly maintained/serviced and regulated, puts the most accurate mechanical watch (and some digital's) made today to shame (using organic lubes; modern synthetic lubes were yet to be invented) ... in 5 or 6 positions - not just one. Later Railroad watches (post 1899) were also required to be temperature compensated. 2) Rugged, even without "shock proof" chrystals. 3) Expensive when new. Moreso today, 100 plus years later. 4) Has a special dial. (Arabic numerals in Black. Post 1895 all 60 of the minute markings had to be numbered, in black, with the 5 minute intervals in Red.) 5) The time is NOT set by lifting the crown. (Making accidental time changes impossible.) 6) Depending on when made, could be key wind and set, or stem wind. 7) Depending on when made, 15; 17; or 21 jewel movement. (regardless of when made, and minimum number of jewels the regulations required, high accuracy was required. 8) Depending on when made, a size 18S or 16S. Basically a "Railroad" watch was and is a engineering (and construction) marvel. 😁👍 Wish I could get my 1885 Elgin H.H Taylor (an 15j "Railroad Grade" (it met the requirements of several railroads (but not all) until c.1889, when the Feds made time keeping regulations all the railroads had to follow, by adopting the Ball rules.) size 18S key wind/set watch) serviced and properly regulated in all of the original 3 positions. 🤨 I'd carry it all the time ... retire my Casio wrist watches ... 😇👍

  Use a plastic credit card to spread the wax and clean the spaces where you don't need it and use denatured alcohol, instead of sanding, for removing the excess wax.
