      It isn't uncommon for a sixty second tourbillon (a tourbillon that takes sixty seconds for it's cage to make a complete revolution) in wristwatches to be used to measure seconds, in place of a more traditional second hand.

    I was a clock restorer for many years. I sold a Smith & Son's 1840s skeleton clock to Arnold & Son in Geneva for their museum. Smith & Son were exceptional at their craft hence why one of the worlds greatest watchmakers want a example of Smith & Son in their care.

      Can you please explain the time left indicator dial, the expert said it tells you how much time is left on the watch before you have to wind it up, so the expert wound it up and the indicator went down not up, showing less time left on the watch before you had to wind it up again, the indicator went from 24 mark, which I assume means full, and went clockwise down, which I assume means less time left. I can't make sense of that at all, it seems to me it's working in reverse?

      Those 1960s engines were long lasting and heavy duty. There is nothing today even with their fancy turbo power management systems that could get close to driving a V8 1960s American car.

      @@bighands69 rosy retrospection is killing your brain cells, brother. There's a reason why you don't see many 60's/70's cars on the road today. It's because they weren't as reliable and they weren't as efficient. People make these same exact comments about old appliances, and it's a failing argument from the jump. You can point out plenty of bulletproof engines from every decade. Just because you like cars from the 60's does not mean they had "better" engines than anything manufactured today.

      Booxwee why? She said ‘Wind’ because she meant wind, she was obviously not familiar with the watch and likely thinking it had something to do with wind, or sailing. Not a particularly surprising mistake, and people make mistakes. But this obviously isn’t a mis pronunciation. She just made an error. She is white American.

    I have a silver pocket watch made in London in around 1760, so 250 years old. Beautiful and still works but I have stopped winding it in fear of something breaking. Old pocket watches like that can still be cheap today despite the age, rarity etc as most people don't value things like that but prefer new stuff regardless how mass produced it may be, only the rarest of these watches has high value.

    • @jaylan9162
      @jaylan9162 Рік тому

      The cool thing about old watches, you can literally measure their value. With a very great certainty (not perfect ofc), the closer it keeps time, the greater it's value. And this thing rivals all, especially if moved around thru it's test. But even that isn't necessary. As the earth rotates, even a stationary watch is flipped around 360 every 24 hours, and this baby combats that!

    As an expert his description of the wind indicator has to be wrong. He states that is shows how much time is left before the watch will stop ticking. Yet, when he winds the watch the indicator goes down towards zero. I think it must indicate how long it has been since the watch was last wound. Thus zero would indicate that it had just been wound, and 24 would indicate that it needs winding again.

    Just to nitpick some more: A winding indicator and a power reserve indicator are not interchangeable terms. A winding indicator will track the time passed since the watch was last wound. 0 will typically not represent a full wind, nor will (in this case) 24 represent a depleted mainspring. The display is meant to indicate an ideal wind for consistent amplitude and timekeeping, and not the overall power left in the mainspring.

      Winding indicator on old watches acted like a power reserve so that people would actually know when to wind them.

    What you see here is a very famous escapement. Its called a turbillion. Until this style of escapement was invented people had to live with watches that only had turmillion or turthousand escapements. These lesser complex escapements were powered by air instead of coiled springs. The "Wind" indicator is to pay homage to all the non-turbillion watches that came before it. The turbillion was invented by Abe Bengay, an very famous Oar-olojist.

      Raul Acuña Bejarano I think having the royal warrant on the watch just means that they are a supplier to the king and that the item is of quality high enough to be used by the royal family. This indicates to the buyer they are buying quality. I don’t think it means it is THE watch owned by the king.

    Can someone explain the time left indicator dial, the expert said it tells you how much time is left on the watch before you have to wind it up, so the expert wound it up and the indicator went down not up, showing less time left on the watch before you had to wind it up again, the indicator went from 24 mark, which I assume means full, and went clockwise down, which I assume means less time left. I can't make sense of that at all.🤔.
