- This time, I decided to restore a watch that was over 100 years old. It's a well-known Hebdomas 8 Days watch. It was originally designed to be a pocket watch but was later converted to a wrist watch by someone.

If I fall asleep watching this I'll just watch a second time. Very relaxing and beautiful.
I have a gold hunter version of this watch. Bought it 50 years ago and wore it with a waistcoat for many years - with a gold chain to match. It's in excellent condition and you have spurred me to get it serviced. Glad that you oiled it!
I am very happy to know that you own one of them! It’s an amazing watch.
wow. looks beautiful in your arm. Better than new rolex gold.
That should be known as the “Telephone Dial Watch”, characteristic of the design. Somebody of days gone by, got it right, with the angle of the watch on the band. That needs not be newer technology. Very interesting 🧐 music. It almost 😅 sounds like 👍 “El condora Pasa (If I Could)” by Simon and Garfunkel, but different. Merry Christmas 🎁🎄🤶 🎅. Your friend, Jeff.
Yes, it looks like a telephone dial. Thank you for liking the background music. Merry Christmas to you too!🎄
Great post 👏👏 as for the wheel u couldn't take off there is a lock that slides off sideways. Hope that helps 🥂
I wonder where did the oil go? And also those lines on the movement plate is corrosion caused by fingerprints. To get rid of it watchmaker should use finger gloves. But this is a great watch and needs a real restoration like re polishing the screws and so on.
I did use watch oil, but I didn't show it on the video, and after fixing it, I used pure alcohol with a cotton bud to clean movement from finger prints, but next time I plan to use finger gloves. Thanks for watching my video.
I've owned a few of these over the years but at time I wasn't interested (American watches were my focus) they were just part of the deal. I don't think I currently have one in my collection.
Looks nice , good watch ⌚
Thank you for liking it. I hope you enjoy the other videos in the future.
Wow Antiknya jam ini, cantik pula dia
Absolutely love the watch
Thanks for sharing. Nice work.
Those finger prints all over the places are killing me... poor watch
lovely work😀
Gorgeous watch. I couldn't help but notice you didn't use any oil. Did you oil it off camera or is it running dry?
Thank you. Yes, I use Bergeon oil to lubricate it.
You can see he does use oil in 12:44 nearly droping out of the movement there is so much of it
😱😱😱🤦♂️🤦♂️ the largest main spring I've ever seen on a watch 😳😳😳
Nice Watch👍
Thank you :)
Great job!
Good Work Sir

Amo relógios antigo ainda mais os de bolso pena que são difíceis de achar pra comprar
Jolie pocket watche, cela me rappelle lorsque enfant, je démontais et remontais dans un grenier â Genève des montres de gousset, mais là, en 2024 pas une seule goutte d'huile, pas de graisse...!?
Vous êtes certainement un amateur,...
Pensez à lubrifier ! Comme pour doigtage... 😁🖐️
lovely work. would love to know what the timegrapher figures were on such an old piece
Incidentally, the name "hebdomas" means "week" in old-fashioned Greek
Thank you for the new knowledge. This time, I'm not surprised why it's called Hebdomas.
were you tempted to convert it back to a pocket watch?
The way he pulls out the pallet fork without letting down the power first, and the way he turn the screw to open the mainspring barrel, and the way he reassemble without wearing finger cots, i think wow! This must be a master. Thats it, im off for a cup of coffee 😬
Finger cots are so overrated, back then nobody had em. A clean work area n clean hands with some sanitizer is better than any finger condom lol n I'm 3rd generation watchmaker. Everything is done by hand, well that's how i was taught, especially when u have to make ur own parts. I wish I was good with the camera 🤣
Amazing very beautiful watch what its price
It's a pocket watch converted in a right hand wrist watch
You the best
ÓTIMO SERVIÇO 👍👍 🇧🇷
Thank you for enjoying the video.
That you have it with your fingers to touch! I find very strange.
At first, I was going to use a finger glove. But someone I know told me it'd be too difficult to watch; not wearing it will be much easier to understand. Thank you for commenting. Next time, I'll use a finger glove.
@@bangkokvintagewatch I don't always use the finger cots either.. I just constantly wash my hands while working and am very careful about what I touch.
@@hockeyrd99 In my case, I use alcohol and cotton bud for the final cleaning part every time.
@@bangkokvintagewatch that is fine, just carefully examine the movement to make sure you don't get any lint in there from the cotton bud
How could you possibly re-assemble it with that horrible thumb print on the bridge?
Was going to say this but I guess its not visible to the wearer.
Thank you for commenting. After I finish fixing it, I clean it with a cotton bud and alcohol.
After 100 years, that thumb print it probably not coming off. Sometimes they get etched into the metal.
@@bangkokvintagewatch dude use rodico putty ,and respect for the job))
What about lubrication?
đẹp quá cái đồng hồ này có giá bao nhiêu vậy ạ

Шыкарный сервис 👍 У меня от дедушки остались чассы точно токие, правдо довно лежат и не работают ..(((
Where is your shop located?
Not adding oil nor grease?
⌚⌚❤️💘👍🤗😁 besides that song one night in Bangkok by Murrayhead. The Thai air force & Thai food. 😄😀
Wurde die Uhr wirklich trocken zusammengebaut ? Und warum hat der Monteur seinen Fingerabdruck auf dem Gehäuse hinterlassen ?
The finger print belonged to the previous watchmaker.
nice job
Nice watch, too bad the dial cracked....
I was impressed by how well that dial cleaned up, even knowing it was porcelain rather than paint. And considering those cracks were already there, they actually did a decent job with it. Even in its pre-cleaned condition, this movement must be worth a small fortune.
Did you just use the watch cleaning solution to clean the dial?
Yes, only for the porcelain dial.
Hello..Not oil at all ? See yaa ..Bernardo
Is it available for sale
No, it is not for sale; it is only for show.
My other question is no use of gloves and one of the other question was weres the oil 🤔 🙄
I didn't use gloves because it'll be easier for the viewer to watch and understand the video, but I removed all finger prints after fixing them with cotton buds and alcohol. Yes, I lubricated the movement with watch oil, but it didn’t show on the video.
Золотые часы интересуют?
The silver polishing was pretty bad. The engraving looked like it was rubbed off a bit. Sad to see
That was the 1st wristwatch?
No, it's not.
The watch was in a better shape before the so called restoration...
Yes, sometimes I think that it should be called "fixing."
that main spring tho'
No lubricant??
I did it, but it didn't show in the video.
Is this a 1796 watch
I think it was around 1900 b.c.
O kas suteps mechanizma- Puskinas?
A repair of an clockwork without a single drop of oil or any grease. It is surely long lasting.
12:44 there is a drop of oil for whole of the movement just on one part
Wow definatly not waterproof
"Restauration", or just Good Cleaning?
Of course, restoration
Безрукий 3-
Lube is overrated I guess.
How did you miss the _puddle_ of oil on the right starting at 12:40? Look at the small wheel that engages with the center wheel. There even appears to be some on the far right edge of the main plate. If anything, this person uses far too much lube as far as I understand from other watchmakers. They just don't show it every time they're applying it.
