I ha e the great pleasure to find Le Prolétaire in a little market in Madrid. This is a very elegant, massiv, heavy, beautiful sound, a genius watch! Thank you Mr Roskopf!
What an interesting historical background. You can tell a lot of the parts are stamped with little or no machining and the movement has no adornment presumably to keep costs down. I really like the classy patina look that the dial cracks offer.
I always remember the Roskopf for it's swooping ratchet design. On some the balance staff was so tall. Mind you that may have made it better to replace. Wonderful job and a real joy to see a true work man at the bench.
I visited Madrid's Rastro market fifty years ago, that's where you could find Roskopf watches. Although never in perfect condition, they were everywhere and I managed to find an early 1867 model which I still have.
It's a real joy to watch how you work. I befriended a very old school watchmaker for over 35 years but not even he worked like you. Where did you learn your skills, I guess a 19c. watchmaker would be envious of you, not to mention a contemporary one in need of a plethora of modern tools. Congrats!
Very interesting story and perfect restoration. Thanks for the video! Does it keep time well? How accurate was it designed to be? If only they new then what is going to happen to consumer culture in 150 years...
Hello nice to meet you it's increadible the watch's roskopf they are of russia origin for the proletariat and they were designed so that they cost no more than twenty rubles A GREAT RELIC 👍👍👍
Very nice work. I also clean watch parts in petroleum and I find it quite effective and very relaxing to do it by hand. I only have one question - why do you lubricate screw threads? I noticed you do it in almost every video.
Thank you! Regarding lubricating the screw threads, I know it's not common, but it's just a mechanical engineer in me. It happened to me that the screw breaks on opening, especially if the piece is very old, so I do it as a precaution. One day when someone tries to open it after me, he/she will have the easier job :)
Restauration of the case: Perfect! Restauration of the work and changing the mainspring: Perfect! Restauration of the dial: Remarkable perfekt! Restauration of the minute hand: not possible to make better. Gluing in the glass: Possible discusable, like my english. Oiling: Could be more exactly. You reach parts of the work with oil, wich schould be free of oil. Filming: Not possible to make better!
No se por que algunos mexicanos no lo quieren yo soy mexicano y amo roskopf 😊, lo adoro me enamore después de amir de a primera vista de hebdomas me enamore de roskopf es que, yo acabo de restaurar un roskopf que estaba despivotado del eje de la rueda de equilibrio y se lo hice con tanto esfuerzo y amor, y ahorita me camina claro estoy fabricando su tija 😊 roskopf es muy noble y aguanta mucho siempre y cuando se manipule bien por que un error es fatal así que hay que tener cuidado como cualquier reloj siempre con mejores cuidados
Thank you. As for the blueprints, I am not aware that they even exist. What I did was I found a hi-res image of the watch with original hands, and then I drew on paper over my ipad.
@@FleaMarketRestorations Thanks... I was wonder why someone will mod the hand... may be was property of a priest? it look like a cross. Anyways... great channel!!!!

You need music or audio of some kind, either commentary or whatever describing what you're doing. no sound at all except for an occasional click is really boring. also, you should tell what these watches are worth when they're restored or in good original condition and what you paid for this fixable watch .

Beautiful restoration and the minute hand re-make is outstanding!!
There is a certain beauty in this piece’s simplicity. And you brought it out.

That was amazing! So thoroughly enjoyed watching your video.
Outstanding work, particularly the new minute hand.
What a great refurb and resto of a historical piece. Cheers

That's not a watch it's living history I love mechanical watches true works of art.👍

Master watchmakers ❤️❤️❤️
Felicitaciones por el videos.
Fabulous and every one of these treasures you restore is saved for the future. Well done and thanks for sharing.
I like that you actually made the replacement parts yourself. Denture cleaner works great on those old dials by the way, cleans the cracks too.
Thank you Rockbod :)
Fun to watch a pro!
Although Roskopf began manufacture in 1860’s, they were made for 75 years, so dating is difficult.
Very nice work! Is such a large beat error typical with these movements?

Merci pour le partage de votre montre gousset roskopf prolétaire 😉
What a beautiful restoration work!

I did indeed enjoy this restoration.
That makes me happy :)
Veramente bravo complimenti.
Que trabalho lindo!!!

Beautiful work 🙂
Any idea where I might be able to find a suitable replacement third wheel for this movement?

This is the best comment I received so far. It means a lot to me. Thank you so much!
Com toda certeza,quem seríamos nós ,se não fossem os nossos pais ?
Avós, tataravós,e outros mais ?
Tudo tem, começo meio e fim.
Nice
Очень круто! Молодец!!!

I'd love that one in my pocket
cool job👍
Thanks! 🤗
Why are you not showing the disassembly you just jumping through it
صوت الساعة رنان
Vc limpou o mostrador com qual produto e a restauração desses relógios ninguém passa pra ninguém más ficou muito bonito o roskof muito lindo
You are good . I think your fans would like to know how long a project like that took .
Wonder what the beat rate is? Can it be regulated on a timegraph?
looked it up because it looked so slow, and it seems to be at 17280, should be no problem for the timegrapher
How expensive was it for a worker?
Edit: I can see the balance wheel doesn't have the proper amplitude
Amazing video... Question... any idea where to find the blueprints?
Thank you. As for the blueprints, I am not aware that they even exist. What I did was I found a hi-res image of the watch with original hands, and then I drew on paper over my ipad.

Tenho um relógio de bolso, fero feldmann 1825
"its" and "it's" are not the same. Surely a new crystal could be found?

Nice, but IMHO the repainting of the dial was unnecessary.
I would love to see how WRISTWATCH REVIVAL would deal with this restoration ,

Good job, but what so ugly movement...
