- Marshall restores another vintage watch, this time a Rotary watch that belonged to Jim Hume, a journalist in Canada for over 70 years. He was 98 when he passed away, leaving behind a long career in journalism as well as this watch. His family wanted to have it restored to working condition as it has stopped running and has a weird issue with the hands.
Join Marshall as he dives into this restoration and learns a few new things!

Yo Marshall! I GOT HIRED AT CITIZEN AS A WATCHMAKER. Took a lot of inspiration from your vids!
@@RussianFans-vn6cj I'm not interested thank you
Do you know anything about old wittnaur movements? I just have a question
What kind and how much actual training have you had Winston?I am very interested in knowing!
That’s awesome!
Might share some percent of ur salary to the man...😅
Time to get settled in for an awesome video! Anyone need any refreshments, go to the bathroom, do it before you watch! Thanks Marshall!
I'll take some popcorn
❤❤❤ gummies for me please 🙏:3
😂 before you “watch” 😂
@@WristwatchRevival That butter can’t be good for the movement.
Love this channel, just like “Journey to the Microcosmos”. I’m fascinated by the small(er) things in our world
Some of my favorite words to hear at the beginning of a UA-cam Video:
"Hello there and welcome back to another video here on Wristwatch Revival. My name is Marshall. Thank you so much for coming along."
It just makes me happy.
Hi Marshall, Rotary are a UK company and are still going strong, I have two of their modern watches myself. :) Great videos BTW
Me too. Mines a quartz (I have a lot of 'real' watches as well) but I lusted after the particular model I have from the age of 15 in a shop in Southend (UK) . At age 45 I got back into watches and bought it from a UK retailer and had it sent to me where I live now in Australia. Crazy world.
@@neonteepee8453 you on Watchcrunch?
@@RussianFans-vn6cj ummm is that a watch thing??
@@RussianFans-vn6cj You are misusing this channel for your propaganda. I am not amused.
They were originally Swiss, and then moved their head office to London. Sort of like Rolex, but the other way round. 🙂
It's so satisfying to watch multiple problems being solved. This is a complicated watch with unusual challenges to get it running again. Thank you for another great journey, Marshal.
@@RussianFans-vn6cj Get lost !
@@MrPleers Hey, at least he's not one of those "you've won a prize" Tele-gram scammer impersonators.
@Fawad Khan I respect your sense of responsibility. By why did you select me on this website about watch repairing when my comments have absolutely nothing to do with Islam?
@@MrPleers I reported it as spam as the exact same message is posted to multiple replies.
@@tradde11 I did as well.
Very cool! I'm from Victoria and net Jim Hume and played rugby at the same time as his sons (back in the 1970s). Wonderful to see you restore his watch.
Awesome Marshall, it's an early frosty morning here in England, and I'll settle in and watch this as I warm up and get ready for my day, the perfect way to start 😀
Funny, I'm in MN usa & it's the middle of the night, but I'm up reloading the fire & warning up as well! Although it's a bit past 'frosty' at -4f / -20c outside.
it never ceases to amaze me, that every time the watch comes back to life, it's like seeing a tiny little beating heart! And I love that! But the other thing is, I'm amazed at how Marshall can take apart a timepiece, with all of the endless parts like springs, wheels, and screws, and know where each little piece goes! Marshall, you must be a man with great patients! LOL!! Thanks for another history lesson about each watch you work on!
Watch makers never cease to amaze me with their patience and skill
@@RussianFans-vn6cj not interested in your fantasy bullshit
I was checking Mr. Jim Hume’s blog. Incredible, his last post was on April 1st this year, he passed on April 13th. Really a remarkable example for us to follow! Very interesting reading, pity I didn’t know about his blog before! RIP Mr. Hume 🙏🏼
If you wish to check his blog, search Jim Hume British Columbia.
Thanks Marshall! Maybe the secret for a long profitable life is a mechanical watch? 😉 ⏰
half of the fun of these videos are the stories behind them, the other half are Marshall’s reactions to the watches and his tools.
he’s like the kid who gets a new toy, toys that are hard to not justify showing to everyone else and a kid who is simply overly enthusiastic but not gloating
Yes!!!! Another amazing watch and another amazing journey! I feel like you're really getting into your groove now Marshal. It's great to be able to go on this journey with you. Can't wait for the next one. Take care.
I finally found my grandfather’s watch and would love to have it restored
This guy is the Bob Ross of watch restoration. Love watching and relaxing on the couch while you do it.
Not all heroes wear capes! What an amazing transformation! And thank you for sharing such an amazing story :)
Absolutely amazing work, such a joy to watch you work.
Thanks Marshall, the best 45 minutes of my week! It's great to hear the stories and see the restoration of these old timepieces.
Really cool! Another great journey with you! Waiting for the next one! Take care. Thanks Marshal!
Love the recent restorations with such beautiful stories, adds a little something extra!
I remember Mr. Hume. Reading his articles. Thank You for pulling out the memories.
My favorite video so far! I loved to see the process of fixing this problems you were finding out. 😊
Marshall, saving one watch at a time! Another awesome restoration!
Once again a great video of the restoration of this simple but lovely watch.
Thanks for sharing your passion and skill with us all.
Thank you so much for posting these watch restorations. It is so impressive and relaxing to see how these tiny machines work. Can't wait to see the next video.
I had to Google "Jim Hume journalist" and found that he passed in April 2022. And what an amazing read on all the posts of his obituary. That watch is part of Vancouver history! R.I.P. Mr. Hume
Good work, Marshall, another piece of heritage preserved.
Another wonderful story and great restoration!
Another great restoration with some interesting troubleshooting. Thanks for taking us along on this journey.
Great session, enjoyed watching your dedication to this craft of watch restoration.
Amazing history on the man who owned the watch. Thank you Marshall for another great video.
You know you have been sucked into something when rather than just stumbling across content you actively look out for and look forward to the next instalment. This one did not disappoint thanks Marshall and I will look forward to the next one.
Thank you for showing us when problems arise! It's nice to watch your troubleshooting process.
I'm so glad that so many other people share the same passion for watches. Thanks Marshall for your dedication.
this videos are always so fascinating and beautiful. movements themselves are entrancing to look at, even if they're ancient and covered in rust and dirt and caked-on grease. this is going to come off as a not-complement but i swear that's not how i mean it: these videos are basically one of the only things that help me sleep. i've got really bad chronic pain issues plus The Horrors that keep me up at night and your voice and the nice calm methodical approach to things is exactly what i needed to knock my ass out flat. this channel is the only reason i'm functional on the bad days. thanks for all that you do
I didn't look for this but extremely glad I got here. The editting, narration, quality, precision and most importantly watches. That brings back my childhood when my grandfather used to fix watches, I was there looking how he does all of it for hours and hours. Thank you for bringing my memories back! One of the best things that happened today. Great work! Thank you.
another great story and great timepiece. Fabulous job and I trust the owner will wear it with pride. Glad you made it happen for him!
One of the best watch servicing videos I have ever seen love how you include the mistakes you made as well somehow you manage to make this interesting for the whole time
This channel is so amazing. It's kinda got a little bit of everything (ASMR mechanical tiny pieces) but it's super satisfying. Excellent work! Thanks for posting!
Truly beautiful restoration . From Sechelt BC we love you and Jim Hume 💕🇨🇦
Your videos relax me and you're very good at what you do. Thank you for your content!
Great service, very nice and clear recording, beautiful watch, wonderful content. Thanks for sharing, Marshall.
It is so enjoyable to watch you work and breathe life back into an old watch. You have such a good presentational style and you make it look easy, which I think is the sign of a true professional.
I'm always excited to see when he drops in the balance spring if it will spring to life, and when it does its like YES!!!!!
I discovered your videos about a month ago and now I have watched them all. Excellent job with everything! Your videos are very relaxing and informative, and now I even have a little better understanding how the movement works. I even had to open an older alarm clock and marvel the parts and many of them now looked oddly familiar :)
I watch several watch youtubes, but no one, I repeat no one, narrates as sympathetically and as informatively as you. Thank you.
I get excited every time I get the notification for one of Marshall’s videos. Thank you for filming and posting these!
Well done Marshall. You do great work!
I love these watches with provenance and photos to back it up!
Hands down, my favourite part of collecting _anything_ vintage is getting to hear all the fascinating stories & history that come as part of the package.... and to be honest, I'm more impressed that little Rotary survived decades of solid use including salmon fishing than I am about who Jim was fishing with! What a wonderful timepiece to share with us - thanks Marshall! 👌
And we are lucky to have witnessed you work your magic on this gorgeous time capsule of a watch
One of the perks of having a 4k monitor is getting to watch your videos in the best quality possible. It really makes the movements shine that much more once you get them clean.
Excellent video Marshall! Love to see the evolution of your videos they started with a solid bunch of maintenance videos where you would fix or replace a few small things to this video where you are full diagnosing and repairing mode. It’s great to see your confidence in repair growing
I've said it before but for me this is one of the most interesting and relaxing channels to watch on UA-cam so thanks once again for sharing.
I absolutely love these videos, as I watch I lose all concept of time and space. I am always amazed that you can remember where every screw and part goes during the repair. You make it look so easy, thank you for another enjoyable and relaxing journey.
Your videos really help me to chill after a tough day at work. A great narrator and "hobbyist".
Unbelievable skills. I'm in awe. Easily subscribed! I was so inspired that I was digging around the house for my dad's old watches. Thanks for the amazing content.
So relaxing watching your videos.Thanks
Thanks Marshall. It was nice to see an old Rotary getting worked on. I have one that I had when I was younger and have only recently been able to get it fixed so it's now running really we. Mine has an AS ST 1950/51 movement. Thanks again!
Hope you're still doing this at 98, Marshall! My fav, most relaxing YT channel. Thanks for another great video!
Sooooo satisfying. Love how you figured out the issue with the calendar wheel not clicking over.... masterful stuff 😎
A very interesting story of a decent life of a respected person. And these hours are part of his life. Thank you for your hard work.
Beautiful video that made my day: thank you so much Marshall!
I love how you readily admit to your errors. Even the best can make mistakes.
Watching this I realized the skill that flies under the radar here is the camera work that gives us the viewer a birds eye view on your disassembly and reassembly. I recently struggled to capture a full size object with clarity under decent lighting, etc,.. well, not as easy as it looks for sure. Thanks for taking us along on the journey. :)
another great vid,,, we love sharing the trip with ya
*Beautiful job, Marshal. History renewed.*
Awesome job. Love the narrative, makes me feel like I have a connection to to owner. My dad collected watches, mostly junk but he had so much fun (trying) to repair them. The videos do make me miss him more, in a good way of course, so thank you! I actually gave him a Citizen watch when I was 16 and my brothers said I should take it back after he passed. It is battery powered, but a good solid piece.
I cannot stop watching these video, they are so good 😁
Great stuff again!
I love this channel and didn't miss a single video.
Thanks for your effort to "watchtain" us!
Another great job! And a very nice touch putting on the old type writer at the end! I'm sure they will cherish the watch for years to come...
brilliant video yet again Marshall as always , an artist at work.
Nice job Marshall, I always like watching your work.
Again another great watch repair. Beautiful editing of your video, a pleasure to watch. 👍🏻
A great restoration. Far more interesting when things don't go according to plan and you have to figure out what is causing the issues. Thanks for sharing. From the UK.
@14:55 very satisfying seeing those pieces presented so neatly
Nice salute to typewriter repairmen at the end. Our family business was just that for 50 years. Cheers 🇨🇦
Imagine being Jim Hume having lived through WW2 experienced the invention of the vinyl record into magnetic tapes into compact disks into fully digital streaming media. Imagine having halls full of shelves replaced by rooms full of equipment with magnetic tape storage into being able to store billions of pages of written text into a device the size and thickness of a fingernail, the invention and spread of home phone lines into cellphones into smartphones and a furniture size tube driver radio receiver turned even bigger furniture television turned color, turned from tiny CRT to big CRT to projection to LCD to plasma and now flexible OLEDs as thin as cardboard...
It is astounding what humanity achieved within about 150 years from first steps in electronic and simple circuitry into the first semiconductor transistors making tubes obsolete into logical clusters of millions of those with each being only a few hundreds of atoms in size...
Lovely to see things going wrong, and you fixing them. Frustrating I'm sure, but a really good honest assembly. Thank you!
Hi, Marshall. Just wanted to say how much I enjoy your videos. I find them calming; a place for everything and everything in it's place. It's so nice to experience an orderly world for a while - before I have to go out and confront the chaotic one again. It's also nice to depend on there always being a happy ending - at least so far anyway. And I love hearing the story behind each watch. Looking forward to your next adventure on the bench!
Me too -You must be either a nurse or social worker! LOL
Lovely restoration of a nice little watch. Interesting to see some unusual features too - keep up the good work.
Nice job! Way to persevere and work through all the issues.
Awesome work, an absolute pleasure to watch....
Your camera work and audio really makes your videos. I have no desire to work on watches but your videos are so relaxing. Keep up the great work.
Fantastic work! Love it! 👏👏👏💕
I love your videos. They made me love watch movements and buy my first Hamilton. I am debating on getting into watch repair myself because of your videos.
I am always in awe of the skills it takes to do this but especially the ability it takes to even manufacture something like a self winding watch. Truly amazing engineering!
I said it before and I say it again. Your videos are so interesting that it's hard to do anything else until watching it to the end. It's not just your skills Marshall that your viewers appreciate but your commentary makes your videos very appealing to watch. My hat's off to you Sir and to those who engineered it. From Canada 🇨🇦.
Hey Marshall, I never thought I would find myself so completely stuck into watchmaking/restoration but here I am! I really enjoy your methodical presentation, and almost instruction- like commentary. I do however have questions regarding the timegrapher. Maybe in an upcoming video you could explain what the grapher actually measures, and how tuning a watch might work. Thanks for all the wonderful videos!!
Great repair Marshal. Thanks again for the instructions and commentary
Fantastic restoration and beautiful watch!
I like how you're talking to the spring like a dog. Sit! Sit! Stay!
A talented man you are, nice to see that you could repair it for the son.
I’m in Vancouver and met Jim Hume years ago! I love the whole video but your last shot of the watch sitting on the keys of an old typewriter is just brilliant!!
Very good video.
My father was a watchmaker in Brazil and your videos bring back good memories.
I knew the sum total of zero about watches until I started watching these posts from Marshal, I love them, I also spotted that the pallet fork hadn`t located first time so, brownie points to me!!
Keep them coming Marshal!
Beautiful detail at the end of the video with the typewriter…as always I enjoyed at lot . Thanks!
Love watching your videos. You are a great narrator too. Easy to listen to and very informative.
This was awesome love the beauty of this rotary watch
Half a million subscribers. It still blows me away, but then, besides getting watches back to working and educating us, your narration is like that fine lubricant, making everything work like a champ!
It takes a lot of experience to realize the cause of this watch to not work. You assume the problem and you ended up right. You're truly an expert in this profession. It's just like scratching the itchy part of your skin, you know where the itchy part is and you know what to do with it because it's in your body. I love watching your videos
This video came along my recommended in my UA-cam feed and it looked really interesting so I clicked on it. Then I heard your voice and immediately recognized it. My favorite caster from Magic the Gathering. Really awesome to see you in the watchmaking hobby! Congrats on the success of the channel!!
