Hi Kalle,
I fully agree with you (I own the french version) but I suggest you for this and later other books to show us the table of content. That helps a lot to "grab" the spirit of a book and decide either to buy it or not ;)
Great idea this book review, love it already !
Bruno

[@ChronoglideWatchmaking]

@@ChronoglideWatchmaking Who can wait for santa!? And, he seems to think Im not behaving well. Atleast since I was a kid. 😂

[@ChronoglideWatchmaking]

LOL

[@hermanhuijbregts1553]

Geweldig wat jij doet Kalle! Ik ben op latere leeftijd met horlogerie begonnen en jouw informatie geef mij de mogelijkheid om snel te ontwikkelen en optimaal gebruik van mijn tijd te maken. Wat een inspiratie en motivatie weet jij te bieden. Kom graag een keertje bij jullie kijken als dat mag (en je met een rolstoel binnen kunt) want jullie liefde voor techniek en ambacht is hartverwarmend en je vakmanschap benijdenswaardig. Zou je de WBC ook geen themakanaaltje gunnen?

[@ChronoglideWatchmaking]

Leuk om van je te horen Herman!!

[@roberttalbot5646]

Love your videos, I have been trying to find an English version of this for a while now, any ideas of who has one for sale?

[@ChronoglideWatchmaking]

Hi Robert, good to hear from you, i see them regularly second hand on Amazon and Bol. Good Luck!

[@davidward6232]

Will you continue with this series “The Watchmakers Book Club”?

[@richardercoli4470]

Hello! Very nice Channel! Thanks for sharing your knowledge! I want to ask you if you can make a video about different types of "hands drive types". I have a brac movement and I saw that there's not a cannon pinion. There is a wheel attached under the barrel... I can not understand how it can drive the hands.... Maybe the are different types of cannon pinion? Thanks

[@ChronoglideWatchmaking]

A very specific topic Richard, but you are right. The friction needed for handsetting can take place in different places in the movement. Usually the cannon pignon, but there are some exceptions. Interesting, i'll keep it in mind.

[@FrancisZerbib]

The book costs 160€ at Amazon. Too expensive for me. I’ll check a second hand …

[@Yoyo--]

i have the first édition of book in in french for many years, so it's a shame i have to buy it again, just for acces to the 40 videos included in this second edition

[@courtly5982]

the e accent aigu makes it vwery francaise

[@hermanhuijbregts1553]

Ik bedoel een playlist

[@simonkangiser6183]

An idea of a video I could use would be on cleaning watch parts at home. I have a sonic cleaner, but it doesn't do a good enough job. Sad face.

[@ChronoglideWatchmaking]

Excellent idea, I will record it within a few weeks Simon!

[@joshneill7695]

Good idea 👍😊
