TINY Bedford Vintage Watch Part 2: Reassembly – Hobbyist Watchmaking & Repair
Welcome to a new video series I'm making on watch repair and restoration! This is part 2 of the Bedford watch movement series, where I'll be cleaning and reassembling this tiny movement. I got in on ebay for $13. It's a simple manual-wind movement, but the real challenge here is its size. Measuring just 21.3mm x 9.3mm, it's the smallest movement I've ever worked on. In the end, I'm able to assemble it back to its original working condition!

A quick disclaimer: I'm by no means a professionally trained watchmaker. Regardless, I hope that these videos provide some educational value or are at least somewhat enjoyable to watch. I also really wanted to show what is possible with a basic set of tools and a hobbyist-level understanding of mechanical watch movements.

Welcome to a new video series I'm making on watch repair and restoration! Today I'm disassembling a women's watch movement made by Bedford. I got in on ebay for $13. It's a simple manual-wind movement, but the real challenge here is its size. Measuring just 21.3mm x 9.3mm, it's the smallest movement I've ever worked on. Although it was running when it arrived, I could tell by inspection that it...
3D Printed Tourbillon Update | Homebrew Horology #10 | 3D Printed Watchmaking from Home DIY
มุมมอง 1.5K3 ปีที่แล้ว
A quick update video and an experiment with my 3D Printed Tourbillon mechanism to see its repeatability and reliability on other 3D printers. It turns out that my design is quite easily printed on other printers and more robust than I had originally thought. I printed it on the Prusa Mini, and was able to print a functional tourbillon without any post-processing (sanding, filing) any of the par...

I see that you are able to move the joints and maintain the interaction between the escapement pallets and escapement wheel in Fusion 360. I have not been able to set up the joints to do this. How were you able to do this? Is there a sliding joint between the teeth of the wheel and the surface of the pallets?
Your genuine joy when it started to work made me smile! Such an incredible project, thanks for sharing it!
Great job! I think you should also block the top of the three pegs, not only the bottom, it would help you in have the gears more tuned.
Well explained thank you

just curious, how good were the tolerances of your prints, and what printer did you use?
Im in my 15th try still cant get it right.

Hello Kyle , je ’’ai rien compris car je ne parle pas votre langue mais ou puis je trouver vos fichier stl ? Merci
That was a cool trick with the baggie catching the metal chips while you saw
Everything happens for a reason. Good luck, child.
I like the phrase "increasingly smaller" 😀
nice to see your face! And I’m a cuber too! (I saw your cube on your desk), now to watch the rest of the video!
I love mechanical things too (I’m not very experienced though). Your video is great, I’ve always wanted to make a clock so I’ll be watching all your vids. Subbed and clicked the bell :)
loved your video. Great job! Well deserved!
Hey there, been doing research and people say the mainspring has to be printed from PETG. The hairspring is better with PLA but I guess not for the mainspring. -Best
Love this so much! Can't wait to print one myself. Have a cool idea for what to power it with! I love how compact and cool looking you made it.
1000th!!!! You got 1k mate, keep up the great work!
I’m designing one as well, thanks for sharing!!! Though there’s many available just to download it really gets the juices flowing to come up with your own geometry!
You will need to make it a gravity driven clock. That will give you a very steady power supply. It's a great looking chronometer start. Sounds good
Tigers I am sorry I think about only myself and sororities first I know that you care and I have heart enough to stand on my own to feet building up my first college I ever entered into ever my entire life. I love Princeton University Ivy League with all my heart. I care about my hometown.
Why you did not apply early ?
Yooo you went to BCA. Me too.
one purpose to the raft is making sure the bottom of the print is good. filament tends to spread out more on the first layer.
@ 15mins or so, you’re getting friction because of the gears not meshing properly. Also, your make shift arbors are not in the holes straight. Next you should lube with -the dry lube. This will reduce friction considerably.
Hello brother, i want your little help please help me.
Any chance of getting the step file ?

Valuable information. Well explained. Thanks for sharing. I guess getting the slopes right on the contacting surfaces are important to give the pendulum a little push in order to keep it oscillating? It must be a really tiny force?
prefer the narration.

Cool video bruh 😎
Good evening! You did a great job with academics and your extracurriculars! That is really impressive! I am in my third year as a sophomore student from a 2-year college for right now. That was why it took me time to complete with my freshman year college credits. I had to do little by little due to my military move because my dad’s military. He is technically stepdad but I always call him dad because I grew up with him. I am 24 years old. Will be earning my AA degree in General Ed next semester. After I complete with my AA degree in General Ed, I will be earning training in acting because it is something I am very passion about. Acting was my dream career at a young age. However, I did not have the possibilities to do it because I had to switch schools from state to state for another 2 to 3 years. In high school, I also had to switch schools from state to state for another year. I have been to 6 different elementary schools, 2 different middle schools, 4 different high schools, and 3 different community colleges. I was diagnosed with autism at age 3. It was before I went to preschool. I grew up with Individual Education Plan (IEP) during my school years. In high school, I was mostly in mainstream classes with one-on-one assistant for 10th, 11th, and 12th grade. From 10th and 11th grade, I had to take some courses to learn about a job in real life. I have been taking coping skills, life skills, vocational skills, basic math, study skills, economics, personal finance, and business. Also, I was in social skills group. In 11th grade, I was mostly with general Ed students. Those were my pathways for completed my high school career. I have been through a lot changes during high school. In high school, I was a top 10% of my graduation class. I graduated from high school with a 3.7 as cumulative my grade point average. I did a volunteer work for shredded papers in 11th grade because I did training for a job. Also, I have stamped books. I was with one-on-one assistant as well! I was born in the city of Buffalo in New York. I lived there in my early childhood until age 5. I was in kindergarten for my first time being in a military move. I lived in three different states for 3 years. Matter of fact, I lived in Virginia for 6 to 7 months, and I lived in Puerto Rico for a year. I lived in two different states for 2 years. I am working on my book which is called my life throughout with autism and being a military child. I have been working at it for 2 years after the pandemic came. For right now, I am working on my second book. Once I get my AA degree, I will include my 2-year college graduation on my first book. Then, I will have it ready to publish on Amazon. If I do with the company, it might be too expensive. I do know from Amazon is very cheaper. If you want to know which states I lived in before, my book will be ready to publish on Amazon. Again, I really enjoyed watching your video so much. Your video has been really inspired to me. After I receive training in acting, I will be earning my BA degree in journalism from a 4-year college while minoring in business to help with my journalism and acting career. My bio parents are from Puerto Rico, and my stepdad is from Colombia. I have a young brother in my mom’s side. I have four younger sisters and one baby brother in my bio dad’s side. My stepdad just had his second MA degree in management from this past spring semester in June. He has always been a great studier just like me. My stepdad studied too much haha. That is what he liked to do. Also, I liked to study. I like to read books during my free time as well! I have been studying at a 2-year college for 7 years. I have qualified for disability services because I need more time to read the questions on my quizzes and exams. I used to be good with math and science in high school. For right now, I am into reading and history in college. I really am good at it. However, I just need to be more clear of what I am saying in writing, so the reader will understand of I am talking about. My dream career is to be a journalist and actor on television. So, I am trying to comprehend the reading in the upper levels. Journalism is what I am passion on as well! Everyone has their own pace of their education. My name is Andres by the way. It is pleasure to meet you, Kyle! You did a great job with the video. Good luck with everything you do! God bless you and your family. 🙏
Really cool 👍🏽
could you show the process on designing the escapement mechanism you 3d printed?
very helpful in addition to being very bright insightful & talented you exude so much calm & spirit. best of luck to you !
I want to get into Princeton University so bad… the only problem is I grew up with a life that really made school tough for me. Not being able to focus, not thinking I had a future which led to not caring about school… i’m going into Sophomore year regretting everything I did in my past years of school.
If you're now focused you can change stuff. Don't focus on the past. Focus on what you want to achieve henceforth.
Dont worry, sophomore year is not late to make change. Schools look at how you improve over the years too. Take as many AP classes as you can manage. Most schools only start offering most AP classes at Junior year anyways
