THIS IS TORTURE
Good stuff. I known it isn't intentionally done ..but he talks to us like we are children. Hard to listen to after a whle.
Thanks!! Love these videos!
I wil always surrender accuracy first
make sense.
For those interested in how watch jewels are made there is a video on tick tock guru that shows how jewels for ships chronometers were made for WW2. Its by the Elgin Watch Company and is in old black and white but shows the process of how jewels are made. Its very informative and quite interesting.
your channel is very relaxing
3:10 This is sort of like when a lap is charged in a machine shop?
I've seen rubber seals wear into a hardened crankshaft in a car engine. It's strange how that works.
I've seen hay and grass get caught around a steel shaft and wear grooves into it in just a few hours.
Very honest answers very impressed thanks Pete
By far the best videos on watchmaking. Thank you!
Absolutely brilliant, I just love these videos.
Jewels/rubies that are essentially pink colored sapphire are the most common, but what if I want jewels that are red or purple? Who do you buy your watch jewels from?
Amazing, thank you
I always thought they used rubies or synthetic rubies... As someone who has machined a number of materials over the years I can imagine cutting into sapphire is probably a slow and tedious process... I mean I used to cut most of my material with tungsten carbide bits but sapphire is harder than that.
I thought this was a watch channel not a storytime on saturation diving 🤦
wow ... great explanation
Your advise for how to approach watchmaking school is the same advise I give, or I should say gave, to medical students. Great channel!
X2 speed, still too slow 😂
I have been an amateur watchmaker for a couple of years now. So glad to I found this channel. Thanks for sharing!
The Vacuum-Air Compressor machine you are using what’s it called, I need this for my bench
I am in Canada Toronto… i really wanted to go into this study field and get a full time job for this watchmaking.. too bad I can’t due to that Toronto do not have any school for this. 😢
As a hobbyist, I really enjoyed watching this video. Great watch channel, learning so much from your videos.
I have hit the crystal of my Rolex on block, brick, and other hard surfaces. In 24 years not a single mark. I am amazed at this material and its survivability.
thank you for your explanation
This is like meditation 🌺
cool vid, but I had to speed up the playback for it to sound right.
Good information... ,,,,,,,,
Well said. I wish you much success. I’ve seen several small American watch shops open in the last 20 years and I hope it continues. I love mechanical watches. I’m in my 60’s of course, but I think even younger generations are starting to see the beauty and design in timepieces like yours. There is just something about a well made watch. I’ve worn one my whole life and feel naked without one on the wrist.
It is truly inspirational that a professional watchmaker is recommending hand cleaning, while most amateurs and UA-cam charlatans are singing praises for ultrasonic cleaning. Keep up the good work. Also, I subscribed after watching the first video, partly because you didn't ask to subscribe.
E a utilização de moissanita? Não seria melhor que safiras?
I think your channel is one of the best educational watchmaking channels on the entirety of UA-cam. It's like a magician showing his sleights. Really good content. Thank you.
If you watch at 1.5, he speaks at a pretty reasonable pace.
Thank for input on this type of dive watch. My 200mm dive watch is all I need.
Ok, so the sapphires last very long as they are hard.. but what about axles? Why wouldn't they wear out?
my father was welder underwater special projects he went over the hole world ... he always said i destroyd many watches lol.. he did some dangerous stuff !!
😊❤
Quite a clever bit of engineering indeed!
If I could escape And recreate a place as my own world And I could be your favorite girl Forever, perfectly together And tell me, boy, now wouldn't that be sweet? Woo hoo, yee hoo Woo hoo, yee hoo The sweet escape (sweet escape!) 🎵🎶
Thank you very much for this, from another watch loving Weiss
It’s my least favorite thing about my sea master. It’s loosened and fogged my watch in the shower before. I’ve even considered locktite
Sept 2024 Veterans Watchmaking Initiative Update: Spoke with admissions, you test for an admissions spot. If selected you attend a 6 week Quartz Technician class as the prerequisite to the full Watchmaker Program that lasts 16 months. There COULD be as much as a 1.5 to 2 year waiting period between both programs, but you must complete the 6 week course to be considered for their regular program.
Answering questions I always wanted to ask
Hi from Switzerland appreciate your presentations and good branding, very inspiring and examplary for young watchmakers. why dont you look into dashboard clocks of vintage cars.....as design inspirations or even replicas wish you much joy in your work
The way he speaks reminds me of the way Mr. Rodgers used to break things down Barney style.
