No telling how many years of accumulating tools such as Steffen has obtained. His skill level is fantastic to watch. I have such an admiration of Steffen's machining ability and his watchmaking skills are wonderful he has uploaded so many highly instructive videos, I personally will always be highly appreciative of his work. We all should express our deepest thanks to him.
I'm sure that this man could have been a great surgeon had he chosen to do so. I am not a watch maker but i absolutely love watching these videos. The precision tools! I can't imagine how much money is invested in the tools that are need to perform for such tasks. I also find the ticking of the clocks in the background very relaxing. Thank you!!!
Great job man!! I love and enjoyed watching all your videos. I hope if I can visit you someday and teach me about all your great tools. I alredy can repair watches and pocket watches, but not so proffessional like you. keep doing the great job. Best wishes from Sweden.
It is so wonderful to watch Steffen do the quality craftsmanship he preforms on this watch. Amazing such precision work done with cobalt steel graver on a lathe to fine cut the pivots. Very impressive and a pleasure to watch. Cudos to you Steffen for the work you do and the wonderful videos you have uploaded here on UA-cam!!!
It is such a pleasure to see high grade craftmanship in this skilled watchmaker. Something you do not see in today's pre-fabricated balance staffs CNC controlled machine making. This was a joy to watch.

Speed lathe work, which is what is being used here to turn the pivots, requires an exceptionally high amount of skill. However, it is the only good way to hand turn these very small diameters.
THIS IS THE BEST I HAVE SEEN,YOU ARE VERY GOOD AT YOUR CRAFT, GREAT CAMERA WORK, NICE AND SHARP, YOU WOULD BE A GREAT DOCUMENTARY MAKER LOVED IT KIND REGARDS dieter13
Enjoy viewing his master skill. Not thinking of replace a broken shaft involves a lot of works and require lots of expensive and precision instruments, experience and skills. Custom made watch really cost a lot!
Because of your question: a set of pin gauges... Yes mm drawing paper... Yes, diamond wheel... No, it is a special wheel made of hard metal (carbide) turning between centres... to the left the staff, its pivoted in a safety insert, to the right the staff point runs in a tiny countersink closely drilled into and at the insert edge. You don‘t prevent breakage by the tools, you have to act / turn cautiously, that's all. Regards Steffen Pahlow
Mr. Pahlow, your craftsmanship fascinates me immensely, but as a filmmaker, the photography was very beautiful to watch. A pun? Oh, well, a joy to watch. Glenn
Hi there. Really interesting work! Certainly excellent at what you do! Love the tool's! ...2 guestion's.....#1 on the jacot tool, are those the original driving belts? they look oversized for the machine? Also, what time frame was that built in? (beautiful tool) #2 on the Lathe ,approx what would be the value on a machine like that? Cheer's from Canada
In reguards to 29:56 Ah I see, so you "turning by centers" by having a pointy end on staff to fit in the counter sink hole on the facing side of the tri-prong tailstock thing. What is the name of that tailstock device? Is it something you made yourself? The safety insert, I wonder if I could make one for my lathe. I like how it grips the arbor but I guess yet flexable enough to create "turn by centers".. Your making me think...!!!
Hi RJ, that's not bad making you thinking...my answer, google my website > click > on the "carnival procession" click "5" > click next page "Lorch" > click on the thumbnails and open the cathalogs, there you find the accessories aso... Mind, you need excentric runners for the inserts... Regards Steffen Pahlow
At 11:19 is that a set of pin guages to measure jewel hole inner diametor..? At 19:32 is that in mm graph paper, wonder where to get it? At 24:54 is that a diamond wheel that your blue machine uses? (excellent..!!) At 29:56 I don't get the tri-prong tailstock thing, I mean I think I get that the pivot rest against it but is there an indentation like a Jacot head? How does it help prevent the pivot from breaking when turning? Awsome job..! RJ
Sorry Mr Pahlow, really I could ask you a million questions. But I only have 1 more for now. When I am cutting a staff, I find I have to constantly measure after cutting. I cut a little I measure, I cut a little I measure etc.. But when my work is on the lathe and I dont want to take it down. The best I can do is use venier caliper. I find it very clumsy to reach in an measure with. On this one was simple design. But when you have a normal one, how do you cut-measure etc..? Respectfully RJ
What exactly was the purpose of the one graver at 21:04 ? You acted like you where going to start cutting with that one and the switched to hand held graver..? Thanks for helping me to understand this. RJ
what is the name of that little tool that holds the balance staff? the little clamp that looks like number 8 but its open on one side? thanx a lot for your videos!!
ich glaube das ist wunderbar.Uhrmacherkunst ist eine Verschwinden Handwerk,aber habe interessen. ich entschuldigen für meine schreiben,aber deutsch ist nicht meine stärk land.

truly a lost art ...simple .I think not ..your just very gifted ..

I admire the job of a good craftsman, and very clear!!!!
Great documentation. Thank you so much, and keep making more.

Because of your question:
a set of pin gauges... Yes
mm drawing paper... Yes,
diamond wheel... No, it is a special wheel made of hard metal (carbide)
turning between centres... to the left the staff, its pivoted in a safety insert, to the right the staff point runs in a tiny countersink closely drilled into and at the insert edge. You don‘t prevent breakage by the tools, you have to act / turn cautiously, that's all.

Loupe: Sternkreuz or Bergeon ? I don't know because I didn't compare both.
An excellent watchmaker. Probably been doing this all of his life.
Fabuloso .maravilloso. Lastima que estas joyas están desapareciendo felicitaciones gracias .Pedro relojero

Excellent collection of videos. You are a craftsman and an artist.
Fascinating! So much time and so much precision. What would be the cost of such a repair?

Your making me think...!!!
All that, without the use of his right index finger! Hats off, Sir!
Beautiful craftsmanship. This is getting to be a lost art!
It's great to watch a master at his craft. Thanks for sharing this excellent video.

Truly an art form.
Some of us fall to sleep to that beautiful sound. Yes, we love it...!!!
mechanical horological brain surgery...how very skiled...congrats
suggestion, watch it with 2 speed :)

Bloody clocks are distracting, bet he listens to pink floyd as well !
and when the alarm goes off a weeks work is ruined!
This video was great! Again. Thanks a lot!

thanx a lot for your videos!!
I love the sound in the background and would not call it noise. There is something soothing about the sound of a clock mechanism.
I wish I could get into watchmaking but the only money to come out of watches near me is replacing batteries and glass.
Superlative work!!! I love the sounds of the clocks and watches....it is not "just a noise"...(?!). We, who love and care watches love them!!!!
I am so surprised that so few fancy tools were employed for such a delicate job.
Professional at work. Altough i´m not an horologist, I Always enjoy watching your work. Excellent videos and job well done!

AMAAAZING!
ich glaube das ist wunderbar.Uhrmacherkunst ist eine Verschwinden Handwerk,aber habe interessen.
ich entschuldigen für meine schreiben,aber deutsch ist nicht meine stärk land.
I would be incredibly nervous removing the hands from such a fine and valuable timepiece with a pry bar...
I certainly wouldn't use one from Lowes!
ha ha ha' lmao!
At 11:19 is that a set of pin guages to measure jewel hole diametor..?
Maybe because this video is for those who love clock mechanisms?
Mein Respekt und Bewunderung! Ich schaue jetzt mein Uhr, mit anderen Augen an!
Very nice.. Thanks for all your videos!
- Rob in Singapore
the clock noise is so annoying. shut it off
You are a great watchmaker in the world.
All those special tools.....but a Tweezer Hammer ??????
lol, yeah that got me too!
gooooooooooooooooood job and nicely done :)
A good restore, bravo
This is some dedicated work right there!
you have the hands of a true craftsman
that back ground noise is real annoying
why clock noise the whooole time
Thanks much Steffen Pahlow...!
RJ
OMG....the clock ate your finger.
