Best watchmaking video I've seen in 4+ years of the hobby. Thank you very much. This information will stick with me always!
Wow, thanks!
Thank you for the introduction. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🙇🙇🙇🙇🙇🙇🙇
Thank you We are hopefully waiting for the next parts.
Very interesting ❤
Thank you, Kalle. For me, the hardest part right now is figuring out the screws, especially when they look the same but are of different lengths.
That's still an issue for me too sometimes, but have you seen Kalle's video about screws? It helped out a lot.
Edit: it's called "The Most Common Mistake in Watch Making" and is the fourth video in the "Watchmaking Tutorials for Beginners" playlist.
@@SlickWillyTFCFscrews for me to , I always place them with the part they come from bridge ect…
@SlickWillyTFCF Yes, I saw that. However, Kalle explains which screw secures what, whether it clamps or centers. I’m having issues with the length of the screws.
@@MagWatchTime that's how I've dealt with it as well. The screws go with the associated parts in the divided tray. If i have to ill wash them together in batches too. I'm not yet to the point where I can put them all together and be confident I have the right one when the time comes.
Omg. I just said the same thing about the screws! I should’ve read comments before hand
That's the first time I've seen anybody explain the pivot differences. Excellent!
Wow! A great video about explaining how to assemble a mechanical watch. I was always so intimidated by it I haven't committed to getting into the hobby. Now I think I can confidently get in it and enjoy...because it is all "child's play" Thank you for the video!!
Excellent tuition! Who wants to fish anyway! Many thanks.
Incredibly valuable tutelage sir, your pedagogy is exemplary. At this early stage in my watchmaking journey, you have really helped me lock-in the fundamentals that I need to understand. Next time I'm in NL, I will happily buy you a sack of your preferred coffee! Big thanks, more power to you.
One of the top three videos you’ve done, kalle. Bravo. Well done. 👍
Amazing work explaining something complicated so simply! Love your function logic and method of thinking it through! Time to go fishing now... LOL.
Thank you for this! Very, very useful. Also... "There is no shame in fishing." LOL! Oh, I wish I had more than one like to give, just for that nugget alone!
I was just about ready to quit my struggling watch repair education and become a fisherman, but then I watched your amazing video. Millions of fish everywhere will thank you because they have escaped my magical fishing powers as I am going back with a better understanding of watch repair. :)
Excellent, excellent,excellent! And may I add, if you get frustrated just walk away for a little while. When you get back to it, it will make more sense and usually go right back together.
It was like a lightbulb going off in my head. I'll never look at a movement the same way again!
Kalle, what can I say that has not already been said? The logical explanations of the movement, wheels, pivots…I felt myself relax and get excited about working on movements. One of the most effective videos I’ve seen of yours. I owe you a coffee when I come visit The Netherlands!
So glad to hear and we’ll have that coffee!!
As someone who will retire in the next few years and be an amateur watch maker, this video is invaluable! Thank you sir!
Kalle is the best!
It takes a genius to explain something in such simple terms. I'm really looking forward to the book when it's finished.
You just turned on the light bulb in my brain. Thank you for making things so simple.
Excellent my friend 👍
Amazing video. This is what I was waiting for.
Glad you liked it!
@@ChronoglideWatchmaking Do you have a video with advice about cleaning a movement without the machines?
Brilliant, Your a great teacher. 😊
I enjoyed this topic. I almost spit my coffee when you said "again... there is no shame in fishing" :)
You are an amazing teacher!
Wow, thank you!
Wow! Thank you! That was so helpful. Now I think I have enough info to have a go at fixing my Grandfathers old pocket watch. Cheers.
Glad it was helpful!
I would just like to say that you have taken the mystery and the complication out of the watch movements and Horology, I am hooked on this craft!
Likewise!
Always learn from your videos and got a laugh about no shame in fishing.😂
Many thanks Kalle. One of your best pedagogic videos !
I'm so happy I've discovered your channel. I love old American pocket watches, Hamilton , Illinois, Waltham, Elgin. I have around 50, some work, some don't. I bought them because I love how they look. I have been wanting to attempt to repair them myself , though I have zero experience at my 60 year of age. You've helped me understand the basic underlying concern of all the wheels..it makes sense now. I only have my left arm, so I'm certain it will take me longer. I'll need to figure "how to hold it, etc" problems as I come to them, but at least my initial hesitation has been relieved.
Thank you for your valuable time and expertise.

Best Watch movement explanation! Thank you very much.
You are really good teacher. I love the way You talk us through the process. 👍
Thanks for this video, it's hands down THE BEST content in watchmaking for beginners in such little time, there's a lot of hour long videos that's not that informative.
Always start with what you know! Brilliantly stated.
Thanks, very good explanation!
I just wanna say THANK YOU !!!
This is a fantastic video!! By far the most helpful is ever seen!!
I’ve*
Thank you soo much for.it. Now it's truly child's play. My plan is to restore (by myself) two watches for my sons. Now I've got the logic! THANK YOU!!!
Thanks Kalle. So grateful of the way you demystify and foster learning. You’re a fine fella!
Thank you Kalle, excellent video.
Glad you liked it!
A very informative video among so many others. Thank-you for so much you do for watch-lovers around the world. Proost!
So nice of you
Simplicity: A fundamental system's principle. Thank you for your clear and intuitive insight.
Thanks for sharing!
More useful than my pile of books, this was amazing!
Cheers from Argentina, love your videos
That is so nice to hear Allan! Happy holidays!
Brilliant; these are the sort of tutorials that are so helpful. I´m gearing up to start experimenting on a couple of old Seikos. Thank you sincerely.
You’re amazing. Thank you.
I’ve watched a thousand watch videos and have not seen an explanation like yours. It’s great. I’m going to check what else you have. THANK YOU B
What a great way of using process of elimination to un-jumble a pile of parts!
Delightful and informative presentation. Now I want to take watches apart, it's really fascinating and addictive work, especiallyy as I like to make things work..
👍 thanks for sharing. You seem to be a great teacher and I hope to learn the trade from you someday.
Thank you it was very helpful and I'm grateful I discovered your channel
I feel better about myself after having watched this !
Hi Kalle! This is the most easy description of a basic mechanical movement. Simple and efective for beginners. Thak you
amazing video again kalle! and so glad i dont have to go fishing , ik krijg dat haakje nooit op ze plek :D
Just love your sharing and great teaching ❤
Thanks Kalle, this is the type of information that gives those of us that are a little scared some confidence to get started.
Glad it was helpful!
You teach very Well, thanks!
So helpful . Thank you very much .
Appreciate you for this!
Excellent intelect at work.
The moment I saw him taking a drink I subscribed 😂
Thank you. You are so good at teaching. You always make perfect sense. Cheers
You are a true teacher! This is the absolute best watch making video I have seen to date! I have procured some basic tools and have a small collection of derelict watch movements to work on. I really can't thank you enough for your great teaching 🤟
Wow, thank you!
Nice useful and practice video! Thank you!
Brilliant!
Hi Kalle, I really appreciate your approach. Always try to find the logic of how it works and how to applicate that theorical logic on practice.
As Einstein said, "If you can easily explain your Theory to a 4 years old child, it means your undertand yourself what your tryin to explain".
That's really the case with you. And you also push ourselve to act on the same way.
Thank you.
Excellent and thank you for your time.
This is just about the best Vidio I've seen on rebuilding a movement. Excellent work, my friend. Thank you very much.
I love this video!!!! Amazing logic
Wish old film cameras had the same consistency!!
Awesome video, thanks!!
Very helpful. Thank you Sir.
Really super content. Many thanks indeed my friend.
… and taking notes and pics during disassembly removes a lot of questions.
I think the real challenge is to track what screw goes where. And the keyless works and springs. There’s some trial and error. And only one arrangement works. Never force fit reassembly. But I’m no expert
Very nice vid.
Trinocular microscope with a camera is a complete game changer and well worth the outlay if you are serious about the hobby
Thanks!
Thank you! Makes much more sense now. Started and stopped out of in trepidation. Even as my watches are not worth much. Still wanted to not screw it up.
OMG thank you so much. Incredibly helpful
Thanks Kalle. It’s the movement I’m learning on. I love your explanation and how it goes my thing is confidence. So when replacing the balance making the corrections for instance end shake or the depth of the palletts effecting the amplitude so one thing putting it together another thing regulating it so it keeps time 😊 I’m only 10 weeks in but still nervous!! Your video has helped me a lot.
You got this!
Incredibly useful
What a great teacher! Thank you so much for your time!
You are so welcome!
I'm bidding on a vintage watch. It isn't valuable, but is something I've never seen before. It has two Main Springs! So naturally, I have to have it!!
This is fantastic. So practical and intuitive. Only something that could come from an experienced pro. Thanks!
Glad you liked it!
Thank You for excellent content!!
Glad you enjoy it!
Wow. This is the most valuable video about this topic I have ever seen. By far! Thank you very much.
Glad it was helpful!
Kalle, one of the best videos you have done. Great teacher! Now, can you do something like this for the complications 😊😊😊 Don't speak Dutch, but--- jij bent echt de max!
Great information Kalle it has all fallen into place now. Thanks
Glad it was helpful!
That was informative, thank you.
I think I will finally have to get an older defective Seiko and disassemble it, clean it and put it together. This was just the encouragement I needed. :)
Thanks, so, much!!!!
great information.
My coffee sipping inspiration 😂
I really hoped you show how to recognize the screws and other parts, your videos are awesome, thanks for sharing the knowledge!
I hope this is what you are looking for: ua-cam.com/video/J_zl5oxVoro/v-deo.html
@ already watched this one, but it does help, thanks again!!!
I don't usually subscribe to many UA-cam channels, but you sir, are a very wise man and a very good teacher. Now SUBSCRIBED ; )
By far one of the best watchmaker videos I've seen in years!
TURK - from France
Thank you so much for your support, merci!
Thank you for taking the time to explain this, and making it "childs play". This is one of the best videos I have watched explaining the basics of how an automatic watch works.
Great advice, thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Kalle makes everything look so easy he even enjoys working on Rover’s
Right time to find a mechanical watch I don’t need-get some tools and watch Kalle
Kalle you are a truly inspirational-Thank you❤
Thank you Kalle. This was very helpful!
Wow man. These are legit classes. If you're not learning, you're not listening
I refuse to go fishing, I'm sticking with the watches! :) Thank you sir for the EXCELLENT tutelage! Cheers to you as well!
Had to subscribe, kalle , you are such a happy person learning and enjoying your u tubes keep good work going
