Lovely. Dundee is in Scotland not England.
Stunning! Even nicer than the A Lange & Sohne B-Uhr Navigation watches produced for the Luftwaffe! Great video, thank You! I have subscribed.
I love your stuff!
Impressive as well as beautiful
It's very entertaining to see your enthusiasm for the craftsmanship and artistry of this timepiece. I am an aspiring watchmaker and this kind of content serves to make me even more excited to learn about the art.
Lovely watch. One feature you did not notice is the balance wheel. The cuts on regular bimetallic are 90 degrees from the arms. These are at 30-60 which indicates that this has a Guilaume balance. The steel is a an alloy with special expansion rate to reduce and possibly eliminate middle temperature error. V&C use these often in their top end timepieces.
In addition the shorter unsupported arms are more rigid.
These are usually called torpedo boat watches or "Chronometre du Bord"
In fairness to the British, in a submarine there are no windows to see the sun or stars so they put a really expensive and accurate timepiece on it. No expense was spared in acquiring this watch. Would love to see it on the timegrapher for 10 seconds before servicing.
Always when i see something like that, i don't know why i ever thoght that Rolex is the ultimate watch brand😂
This thing is crazy well Made!!!!!
The daylight bulb interferes with video format hence the flickering picture. Easy fix = use a tungsten bulb not daylight.
Totally awesome!!
I agree, this is horological state of the art. Thank you so much for sharing. I still got goosebumps.
beautiful workmanship...thank you for the watch tour.
Absolutely stunning piece 😍
How did they make the temperature compensated balance? Did they solder the steel and brass together? or is it held in place by the variable inertia regulating screws? Or is it fused purely with heat? I would really love to know!
Thanks in advance! :)
I’ll try to look it up in the old books, I’m not 100% sure. Amazing stuff right?
hello, could you make a video on tourbillon, carousel, 2 axis tourbillon,3 axis or spherion (eric coudray)?
I will Eric, thnx for the tip!
@@ChronoglideWatchmaking Really impatient to see it. I am passionate now because of your videos 😍
Do anyone have an idea about price of such unique piece???
For the finger print, you should conduct an investigation.....I doubt this may comes from a previous watchmaker. It may comes from the owner. 1) the backing is easy to open by anyones. 2) people love To see and show the interior. Just saying 😁.after aller you have thé most important evidence: the finger prin....cant argue acter that.....sheers!😂
There was only one way to make it for them an that was the right way.
True artisans.
This is what made me fall in love with mechanical watches!!
Thanks for showing us this MASTERPIECE!!
It's obvious that the builders of this beautiful timepiece, were beyond Masters of the Art and Craft 💜 Genuinely Awed . Thank you for sharing this marvelous experience. What an honor it must be , to be entrusted with such a rare piece of history. Much Respect 🫡🤝 Good Fortunes and Great Successes
Just the polished chamfers on everything, the time!! absolutely love looking at the best quality ❤
Simply stunning
Your commentary is simply a joy to listen to.
Thank you Kalle
Absolutely exquisite, unbelievable watch making i love engineering like this❤❤
durf het nog aan te raken😮 zo mooi precies werk❤ en dat met machines van toen😱
The perfect angles of each individual wheel teeth 😮❤
Your passion for your work is so inspiring. When we strive to do our best before God, we find the true length of our abilities.
Old watches just look better then modern watches
hi Clare-Lee from Staffordshire
Just Wow! Mind boggling. How do they achieve the 3d bar look on the metal. New to your channel but am basically binge watching while I have COVID. Also one thing Dundee is in Scotland , you seem to appreciate accuracy 😉👍🏼
Hope you recover soon! Thank you so much for your support.
STAGGERING‼️®™️ ☑️☑️
Mind Blowing....
In today's world poisoned by compromise, this is the antidote.
Well put, love your comment!
So beautiful
hello every one
🥰🤯 touching something like this is like touching a holy grail. That watchmaker must-have been very experienced. The case doesn't look to fancy from the outside. A real treat. Don't drewl to much on the movement.
Oh, laat je het ook nog even zien als je er helemaal klaar mee bent?
I really want to thank you with all my heart for explaining the differences and the beautiful craftsmanship of this valuable masterpiece
I don't believe somebody can do that again ... really insane :o
The click spring, swan neck spring & pallet fork are works of art like an Alexander Calder sculpture/mobile - just fascinating !
Great video, I have watched it twice. Would it be possible to show us a temperature compensated balance in warm and cold conditions? I would be interested to see how much they move.
a mechanical work of art on a microscopic scale ...........I have a P.Orr & Son from that time and even though its an early chronograph from a naval officer .....its got nowhere near this kind of detail
all I can remember of this video: 18:12 Good going, Kalle!
Beautiful watch. Thank you for showing my friend !
And he's so right about the fork the jewels looks so beautiful for some unknown reason
What a subtle and profound observations 👌 thank you for sharing ❤️🆒
Thank you for describing and enthusing about the deck watch so well
Just missed your stream last theusday. What a great movement Enjoy.
Amazing! The fit and finish! Gobsmacked!! Thank you for sharing this masterpiece with us.
Thank you for the personal tour of a masterpiece of workmanship. This artwork is for only a few and typically hidden from view unlike the museum pieces from arrogant self professed artists. What a treat to see. Did you do a video on the restoration so we can learn of the closing chapter of this story?
We’re losing the ability to do beautiful things with our hands only and no computer graphics or laser printer. More specialists should be trained to keep these skills alive.
Unmatched craftsmanship
Insane 🤯 The perfect watch, in every way
We’re real rubies used back then? Did the master watchmaker leave his mark for future identification? Amazing stuff here Kalle, as usual.
Thanks Sir!
Ga van avond geen sterrenkijken :)
Starstruck? 😊
Very nice but an industrial Finnish deck watch with replaceable parts for 20 0r 40 warships with similar accuracy could have been accomplished instead of rich mans toy!
