I used to do this many years ago . My dad was a master watch and clockmaker in New Jersey and he taught me . So many memories. I just bought one of these and it needs to be fixed
@@jamesmartin5370 I don’t think so I have no more tools and I moved to Arizona many years ago . The movement looks clean but the pendulum like the one you showed is in very poor condition, and has broke the metal around it . I have an Ansonia also my husband’s grandparents gave him but that needs a mainspring. I wish I still had everything set up . I guess I will find a reputable clock maker and have them fixed . They are too wonderful to leave here in my home not working . Thanks for the videos
Really glad to have found your channel. I love clocks. What a delight to hear all of them ticking away in the background. Wish I were closer to your shop. It is getting harder and harder to find a really competent clockmaker in my area with all the retirements and younger folks not taking up the trade.
I understand. This is why so many people ship me their movements to restore. Let me know if I can be of any help and I will do my best. Thanks for the comment.
@@jamesmartin5370 Thank you for your response. I have a modest clock collection and several need attention. Is there an email address I can use to communicate? I don't see any contact info here.
Thanks James lovely demo and many thanks for explaining about the numbers on the plate as to the date, escape wheel and pendulum, as usual looks beautiful sounds beautiful and very interesting, great job. Jim from AUSTRALIA.
I just bought a W64 style movement in eBay, and I gotta say that it runs very well. Just oiled it up and cleaned it. And one day I forgot to charge my iWatch (had about 30%) so I attached some hands from a Kienzle mantle clock and took my school as a replacement and I couldn't stop looking at it. The amazing work that went into designing it is just awesome. I just love watching the escape wheel tick and wainting for the chime to go off. And I love your channnel, you make awesome videos.
You gotta love seeing a high-quality piece of machinery get decades more lease on service life when all that was wrong was a little dirt and oxidized lubricant. Also you don't have to fuss with the case as a seventy-year-old patina has a value all it's own.
There is a lubricant called Krytox made by DuPont, it contains no petroleum and may last much longer than oil. Originally aerospace stuff, comes in different viscosities. You might want to give it a try. I worked in a place where we built machinery that used pure oxygen and you couldn’t use petroleum based lubricants due to flammability, this what we used. Expensive but you only need a little.
Glad I could help. I saw a couple of your videos, your clock looks great and you sound quite good on that Yamaha E333, I play a little on the piano and enjoy it.
Great video! I have a Junghans with a W64 movement. My dogs were playing and knocked it off the table. Now it is way out of beat! I can raise up one side and get it to run. Was wondering how to set the beat on this movement. I suspect that the movement need to be removed and the beat set on the bench but am not sure how to do it. Your help or anyone who can help me on how to do this would be most appreciated.
These Junghans have an adjustable verge on them. The pallet assembly of the verge is fit tight on the pallet shaft, there is an arm the pendulum leader rod goes through that is fit to this shaft with a slip clutch attached to it. You will need to rotate this arm either to the right or left and work the slip clutch back and forth, check beat each time until it is acceptable.
@@jamesmartin5370 Thank you for your prompt reply. You did not confirm if the movement needs to be removed from the case or not to make this adjustment. In looking at it, it looks like that would be the only way to do the adjustment. Am I correct in my thinking?
@@rodfunk2460 If you have access to the pendulum then no need to remove movement from case. Set the case so it is level. Then manually and gently overswing the pendulum and the slip clutch will probably slip and change the beat. It will take a little experimentation at first but eventually you will be able to get it into beat again. When it got bumped on its side the pendulum probably over swing and the clutch moved putting out of beat. If you aren't able to get the clutch to slip by moving the pendulum you may need to hold onto the lever the pendulum rod goes through and over swing it holding on to that lever. If that doesn't work then you will need to hold on to the pallet and over swing the pendulum at the same time.

Are you going to fix the one you just bought yourself?

Love how the chime is very quiet outside the case, but is loud inside. That proves the case really is a good resonator

Thanks Jim.
Absolutely great to observe a master at work! Thx
Thank you for your good video about one part of incredible memory, greatest jobs
Lovely clock. I have one near like it I picked up in Germany some years ago. Same Westminster chime and set up, still runs a treat.
They made a quality clock and still stylish today.

Thanks, I agree, very well engineered movements.
I just picked one of these up. I'm missing one of the chimes. Wonder where I can get one.
I've seen used ones on ebay, any good clock supply house will have new ones that might be able to fit.
Thank you, good Job

I just looked it over, looks like a superior lubercant, I will do some more research and maybe consider it.
Thank You.
Осталось очень мало вот таких мастеров механических часов.золотые руки.

I have exact same clock… wife “lost” the key to wind. Can you tell me the size? Thanks, great video…
I don't have one in the shop right now like this one, so not able to provide size.

Take picture of it, and I will take a look at it.

A curious question. What is the right price for this kind of clock today in a used good market assuming it is in good running condition?
I don't do appraising on these, I only fix them, I have see similar ones selling for about $300.00 that owners claim are working.

@@zorolooo
I agree.
These are a highly respected for their quality, you won't have any problems finding someone who wants it.
Why some clocks sound one or two minutes after the correct time? I've noticed it several times, apparently it's a very common thing to see.
Is there where hermle got the influence for the floating winding arbor?
I think its highly possible..
