Restoration of an antique pre-WW2 pocket watch - 100 year old Cyma 777 - german empire silver case
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 жов 2024
- 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 ;)

no music no bla bla bla, just clicks clack... ahhhh so relaxing😌😌
Yap that's right
Your will
age of empires
@Watch Crazy or maybe they'd copied him.
i love these sounds
This is so relaxing and satisfying.
Thank you for the silence.. just the clicks and the soft sounds of cleaning fixing the watches!
Perfect
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
I love that old cleaning machine.
And God how I wish I had a Flux Capacitor...lol
Your work amazes me.
Thank you.
Patience in every sense of the word.
And an appreciation for the function of all the tiny mechanisms and parts that make beautiful timepieces.
Another beautiful Cyma is resurrected. Superb.
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.
Maybe but that would be kind of boring I think 😂
Original olis where not that good.
Quick !! Cover the DeLorean !! 👌🏼😁👌🏼
Man I miss our times ! 🙏🏼😏
the banana peel was missing …. 😜
@@RedDeadRestoration
It just wouldn't be worth the effort to even flip the switch.
If there's no effort or appreciation for the knowledge and the effort involved in the building and repair of these fine works of art which is in and of itself an art, then yes life would be very boring indeed. Thanks for your time and effort, in making these videos. 👍✌
Super slow mo was an excellent addition…
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.
The time machine gag earned you a subscription. Kudos.
ai think this has been my favorite of all I watched. Maybe because it was such an older, beautiful timepiece and came out as beautiful as when it was made. I also so enjoy your steady hands... envious...
Thanks, it was fun to work on as well 😉
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!
I love your videos and i like that you don't put any annoying music in the back ground just pure sound calm and cozy
That movement holder is lovely.
It's great to have a time machine, even a small one, it can help a lot sometimes
Truly, this is the BEST pocket watch restoration video I seen! Now my passion for pocket watches have doubled. Thank you!
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.
Music in the end was so soothing….. Your skill to put the watch together is awesome

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!
Enliven the time, it's amazing! You have golden hands!
Besides the extraordinary skills of our master watch-restorer, what amazes me the most is how little the mechanics of a good watch have changed throughout all these years. I am be no means an expert and all I know is from watching his YT videos. Therefore I might misjudge the importance of the details here. But there are so many familiar similarities. Really impressive!
Watches and the clockwork within are so astonishing to me. It all looks so fragile, like it can break at the slightest touch. It runs on singular droplets of oil but when it all comes together, it works perfectly in unity.
Incredible feat. Wonderful to watch how such priceless time pieces are brought back to life. Really awesome..👍
Happy to see this Old Timer..back to LIFE ,!!! ❤️
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!
Thanks mate 😉
I totally agree with you. A Master of his craft! Fred
Hi yea

What a beautiful job well done and that's from a heavy engineer who wouldn't know which end to start.
Looks very beautiful again and a great job restoring it!!
Enjoyed your video and I gave it a Thumbs Up
I just came here from learning about how all this works and it was so nice to find your channel! What a gorgeous job you did with this one!
The one thing I miss that is going out of society is facial expressions, body language, voices, and the nuances of human interaction, I was born in 1960, modern times are alien to me. Watching your show gives me much enjoyment, the way you present the watches is wonderfully simple and human, I actually get that feeling of connecting in a human way, for instance when you flipped the cover from your pen knife, I found that very funny, it's that subtle expression that's missing from today's world of bowing to the almighty currency and material of the world. I feel were losing our sense of what it is to be human. Thank you.
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.
I wouldn't stand a snowballs chance in hell putting that back together. Half the parts would end up across the room.
Great video! And your socks…extra classy!
Oh so many pieces to lose. I would never be able to put this back together without some left over parts. Great job!!
Wonderful presentation. A watch anyone would love now.
Simplesmente, magnífico. São minúsculas e frágeis peças, porém, importantes para compôr um relógio vintage. Obviamente, o restaurador também está incluso nessa maravilha. Sem ele não teria razão das peças. Parabéns nota 10. 🇧🇷 RJ Nova Iguaçu
…stunning…truly magnificent to enjoy with your wry humor sprinkled in…while working do you imagine how beautiful It will be?…you are quite a good story teller and your cinematic skills superb…
Back then when they made things to survive
Yep 😁
Amen on that comment
To be fair a modern day automatic is just as durable if maintained,some are affordable and durable such as the seiko 5 line of watches,fortunatly not everything is shite and meant to break nowdays even thought it's often the case
Sehr schon! I especially love the old tools...working with them, it is probably interesting to think that somebody with your same job once said to themselves, there is an easier way to do this...
Crazy to think they were able to make something like this so long aga
That was fun! I've never seen how pocket watches worked on the inside. Thank you!👍💖
Wow that's absolutely amazing. I was curious when i came across your video and I have to say you did an amazing job on that watch.
Really stunning. I'm not sure I would have done as much cleaning on the case but I can't argue that the result isn't stunning!
Trabalho incrível! Certamente exige paciência, atenção e gostar do que faz! Parabéns!
I needed to learn more about clocks for a story I'm writing (I have always loved Pocket Watches, my grandpa had one). I figured that looking up people repairing/cleaning pocket watches would work. This video definitely helps! Wonderful editing too, it makes it worth the _watch_ ;)
congratulations. You invented the time machine. your thin jokes and socks are so beautiful
It was the flux capacitor for me. Nice touch. New subscriber.
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.
keps working fine
And that's why I am so enamored of anyone who makes such an effort to save these little darlings for the next generation. Great work!
That Flux Capacitor is great.
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.
I believe the time machine is not a joke !
Your work is simply wonderful, bringing back to life something that we agree, made tens of years ago was already fantastic. All these tiny pieces, most of them handcrafted. I wonder how difficult it was at the time for such a feat. I ask if anyone can answer. Could it be that whoever conceived a watch like this did a project first? I mean, drew it, it must be in storage somewhere, it would be wonderful to run an eye over a project of something like that. If there is.
gotta get me one of those flux capacitors... excellent video, great stuff man!!!
Restoration 👏👏👏👏
I have to say that was amazing. Soooo many parts!
It's so good to get a look over your shoulder while you carry out these restorations and it's fascinating to see how little watch internals have changed in 100 years !
One thing I love to see in you videos is the tools and equipment you use, I love the cleaning machine and the small hand tools, presses and extractors etc, even the tools for working on mainspring drums are interesting but there's one thing I have never seen and that is your magnifier. I'm assuming you do have some sort of device to help you see these tiny parts more easily, presumably you will have a selection of magnifying devices that you just cannot live without, I wonder what they look like ?
Some simple eye loupes (mostly I'm using a 10x magnifier) you can see them sometimes sitting on my desk (wooden with gold ring)
Sandoz made history by producing 4000 of these per day, a production number that had never been achieved in Swiss watchmaking.
Immer wieder ein Genuß zuzusehen. Die Abonnenten sind voll verdient !!!
it becomes so beautiful

Piece of art and of history
Do you think it stopped a bullet?
Beautiful work, your skill set is remarkable.
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.
Another amazing video😅 the equipment you use fascinating and I find it very therapeutic watching you.
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 ! ⌚⌚⌚⌚
I have a Do'r watch made in 1896 and in good health, how much is it worth now, is there anyone to buy it

As usual...beautiful work. Truly impressive. Respect.
I’m a very slow reader, so I can’t watch the watch.
Thats wonderful! I bet if the origional builders of this watch could see you rebuilding it - their minds would be blown. ( Especially if I let them watch it on my phone !! )
I think the craftsman, who produced this watch, would be proud to have it in the hands of such a attentive professional.
This is truly a beautiful piece and one of akind
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.
love that Flux compensator
😅👌
I don't know 🤷🏻♂️ which is better > "watchmaking" work, or cameraman / shooting ... 🤔. Both are on 🔝 level, and made me subscribe 🤓.
Fantastic video, extremely well done, educational as well. Thank you for sharing. God bless 🙏
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.
Вот у чувака руки из плеч растут. Завидую по-хорошему. Пил чай и залип почти на 20 минут. Однозначно лайк))
following this channel is a pleasure: you can see your growth in the quality of the shooting and in the editing, congratulations for the choice of the restored pieces, the latter is sublime.
Tolles Video, so wie immer. Ich habe mir in diesem Jahr meine erste Automatikuhr gekauft, eine Tissot PRX. Ich finde die Technik dahinter faszinierend. Das man sowas auch schon vor über 100 Jahren bauen konnte finde ich umso spannender. Man muss sich nur mal überlegen wenn einer sagt: Bau mal eine Uhr 😅
Damals, ohne das ein pc alles berechnet und eine Maschine die fertigen Teile ausspuckt. Einfach krass 👍😊
Yet again UA-cam 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!
For somebody who does this as a hobby you are surprisingly good. The video is excellent for people like me (first timers) I had no idea how much machinery goes inside such a tiny piece of jewelry. Watches are a prodigy of mechanics! You crafted this video so amazingly and meticulously. Its really fantastic. You blew me away really. You probably should go full time with this man! Sorry for the excitement, just talking from my heart. Good job!
Mate, your socks are amazing !!!
Master work again. A lot of respect
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!
How do you know it’s a she?
@@rowdyyates8626 seriously? that is what you are worried about that some translation algorithm makes it appear as if the writer of the comments refers to the master as a she? It's not even what the comment said, she is referred to the work, which is a feminine word in Russian. this is basic russian grammar, try understanding this before being offended for no fkn reason.
@@itstommy1196 please candidate i vote for you, the world is nuts these days
Great video. Thank you.
Me: No way he can restore this
Red Dead: Hold my tools
I don't think he'd let anyone else hold his tools.
اكثر من رائع حرفيه عاليه ودقه بالعمل يعجبني هدوئك في العمل .بالتوفيق
I just found your channel and this is my first video. I’m impressed by your watchmaking techniques as well as your video editing. This is a joy to watch and the Flux Capacitor bit is hilarious. Thank You!,
what a nice show from a master......
Love the flux capacitor. Comes in handy when you need to retrieve new parts from the past! 😉
😁
What is it 🥲
I would love to have that watch
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.
Meu Deus! Que trabalho restaurador lindo de se ver! Amo relogios de bolso
Masterful. And I agree with the person who suggested some explanations of each step. Either way, very satisfying to watch!
I totally agree with you!!! 🥰
Потрясающая работа
educational with a twist of humor - well done, Sir
Beautiful job!
Reasons I love this channel. No talking, no goofy music played through whole video, excellent video and sound quality. 5 stars
very nice barrel spring there, good quality hardened spring steel, don't see many of that quality... what I would like to see more of is how these parts are made, that show on PBS where Eric Gorges goes around to artisans shops went to a clock maker "a Craftsman's Legacy" this dood made wheels, cut gears, all of it, but 20 times larger, like to see how these lil' ones are made for sure, springs all of it, and watches do a have a pulse...
New sub here. It’s my considered opinion that yours is the best watch restoration channel on UA-cam. Thank you for sharing. Greetings from Alabama, US.
Thanks 😊
@@c0ldc0ne Just my opinion. Nothing against Nekkid, I just prefer Red Dead. I watch Nekkid also. We all know what they say about opinions.
@@c0ldc0ne Best wishes and happy watch restoration videos to you!
This sounds great
