Thanks Matthew. An awesome video which has made me now subscribing and will be watching in detail. I’ve not seen a better video for explaining what you’re seeing as you strip down a clock. I learnt a lot!
This had me totally engrossed, excellent subject matter, great narration and explanation, and just as important, if not more so, fantastic camera work.
👏
Thanks Mark, appreciated. M
Looks like The Algorithm chose you, enjoy the ride!
I hope you are right. Read has a lot of skills and contacts to bring some real content to this chunk of UA-cam between restorations / machining / horology.
Very watchable. This movement is a very good subject as it contains a plethora of problems, some obvious and some subtle. A good opportunity to explain both the issues and your skills of diagnosis.
Thanks for your kind feedback. Yes, multiple, overlapping and inter-connected issues!
I'm very excited about seeing more of your work. About a year ago I seen your verge pocket watch video.. I said to myself only one video? I need more 🤣
Also I really appreciated your chat at the end of the video about the repair revolution. I've started a channel of my own all about repairing all sorts of things. Just to get the ball rolling, people need to know. "hey you can fix this" instead of sending it to the scraps bin.
Anyway cheers from Canada 🍻
Keep up the good work
Totally agree. Repair not dispair! Glad you started your own channel. Lets encourage as much repair as possible. M
As usual, Matthew explains in plain English exactly what is going on with the clock. Looking forward to more
Thanks Mark!
Excellent video. This looks like a lot of work
Masses for sure!
Hi Matthew just found this video better late than never I suppose, very nice explanation as usual but I will stick to the torsion clocks although I have subscribed because I enjoy watching.
Cheers Dell
Thanks Dell. Hope you are keeping well. M
I love your observation skills Matthew and your methodical approach. This is a really helpful video with excellent advice. Thank you.
Thanks Ian. Glad it is of use. Of course there are many different approaches to work like this but that part of the process is rarely seen.
@@readrepairs This is what being a full time student must be like. Time to look at clocks in detail and thinking about the options. I nearly applied to do the full time course at West Dean but in the end lacked the courage.
It was 12 years ago when I retired from work
@@ianharris3933 That's a shame. There is still time! Yes, that luxury to sit and look and consider.
It’s been a long wait for you new video but well worth the wait excellently filmed cannot wait for more
Thanks Peter. Yes, I have quite a bit of content awaiting editing so that will appear. Thanks for your patience.
Дякую вам за працю 😊❤

Could you possibly repair a marine chronometer? Love your work.
Thanks for your comment! Funnily that is exactly the thing I am after. I have been looking for one for some months now. The ones I have seen have either been re-finished or out of my price range. I saw one a couple of months ago that was perfect but I was the under-bidder so I will keep looking! Thanks again, Matthew.
This is an excellent video, except I heard you say third wheel.. now I am confused. I have a triple fusee bracket clock from the 1820s, and this will greatly help me when I finally decide to take it apart and clean it. It pretty much runs perfectly fine except the strike/silence does not work. That will be the first thing I will work on. Too bad the clock in the video does not have the strike/silence.
18:11 Oops! Almost removed the screw with your fingers. Jk😊 I love your channel. I noticed you go out of your way to grab the tweezers to manipulate something instead of using your fingers. Is that fundamental?
Ha yes! Sometimes forget the camera is there! Thanks for the kind comments.
Yes. Tweezers add focus and ‘accuracy’ to work. Obvs there reaches a point where components are too large.
Dear Matthew thank You for so nice video. Can I ask your advice on very same movement? Posibly it can help to repair your movement in right way also. I see You miss one part on strike side thats why spring on left side that pushes "start quarter chime" lever so bent and ugly.
I was trying to put link on nawcc forum, but probably this violates youtube rules.
Thanks for your message. You mean the flirt spring? Yes, it was a problem here. I have a forthcoming video where I sort it out. Thanks for taking an interest. More to come, please keep watching. M
Yes, the first spring that bent in a strange way over the counting rack limiter pin. I think there is some absent parts near the end of this spring, You can see couple of free holes there. I think there should be specific limiter for this spring. I have drawen some picture but I don't know how to share this here.
I have really very similar movement. Made by Thomas Best however, probably yours made also by him.
Hello does Matthew have a Instagram ?
Not yet!
