10/7/2021 I have a Hamilton model 992, which belonged to my train engineer, great uncle, and made in 1934.. I once had the watch cleaned and repaired. The man would not charge me for his work saying that it was fun doing the work. After seeing this video, I now understand how he felt. What an outstanding video, thank you for sharing your passion. ;-)
Thank you for down memory lane. Our papas daddy was a watch repairman. It was awesome to see him smile when he saw the cleaning cages, Parkinson’s won’t let him smile much anymore. He still has a Bulova Accutron and the tuning fork hums at night on his night stand. He thinks it was the last watch his daddy repaired and gave to him for a birthday present in 1970.
Just to think this delicate watch survived the great depression & mass unemployment of the 20s, the 3rd Reich and World War 2 in the 30s & 40s, Black Market trades in the 50s and whatever else was thrown at it over time. Always there was someone caring enough to preserve and save it.
Люблю смотреть как работают люди которые знают что и как надо делать. Всегда приятно наблюдать работу мастера, особенно когда она столь скрупулезна, лично меня это умиротворяет) спасибо за такое качественное видео!
@@rowdyyates8626 seriously? that is what you are worried about that some translation algorithm makes it appear as if the writer of the comments refers to the master as a she? It's not even what the comment said, she is referred to the work, which is a feminine word in Russian. this is basic russian grammar, try understanding this before being offended for no fkn reason.
I really enjoy these videos, the most amazing thing about them is how many moving parts and the attention to tiny detail required to make and/or repair a watch. Please never stop doing this! So satisfying
My favorite moment is installation the balance. It's a miracle. The heart of the machine began to beat again. And one more thing... It may well be that the person who assembled this watch 100 years ago does not even have a grave left. And the fruits of his labor are still with us. The hands of the master bring them back to life and the soul of the one who created them is invisibly present in the frame.
There is something quite magical about the machinations of old watches. I imagine it is so gratifying to assemble all these disparate parts into something that seems to live in its own.
We tend to forget how important time pieces were back when this was made. Nowadays, we can just look at our cell phone, computer or TV for the time. Watchmakers were in high demand.
Unglaublich! Bin zutiefst beeindruckt von einem solchen Level an handwerklichem Können, den jeweils detailliert gezeigten Arbeitsschritten, der Sorgfalt sowie der extremen Präzision und dem technischen Equipment. Das ist wirklich allerhöchstes Niveau!
I know I am not the only one who gets a smile on their face when that notification bell has a new video from Red Dead Restoration!! These are quite amazing to watch.
All that was needed was a good whiskey and classical music to accompany this beautiful art, excellent work congratulations top video you don't even need to say anything or music, just watching it reassures me.
Restoration and Talent to bring back to life a piece of History. Who's hands this past from and the stories it could tell🤔. Bravo good Sir your ability to pump life into these master pieces is amazing. Thank you for allowing us to enjoy it.
ai think this has been my favorite of all I watched. Maybe because it was such an older, beautiful timepiece and came out as beautiful as when it was made. I also so enjoy your steady hands... envious...
I have an obsession to vintage/antique things, like they have a sense of uniqueness and I feel in peace just by seeing them... Idk why, so, I really want to horde these things.
The words patient organizational skill does not do justice to the restoration of a beautiful time piece by steady hands . Even if I filmed every step under a microscope I could not have put Humpty Dumpty back together again. Flux capacitor can fuse glass ! Stellar job !
Thanks for the video! I don't know about others, but for me, when a person works carefully, holding his breath so that his hands tremble slightly, it's like an act of creation and inside there is a feeling that nothing in the world can replace any drug. I'm just getting high! This is especially evident if someone draws. This feeling is pure. By the way, cool socks!
So much to love here! The new camera angles, I especially like the view of the components going into the cleaning bath. The slow motion of the balance wheel was amazing. And then, where do I start with the time machine? You, my friend, are a master! Keep it up!
I am impressed that it was possible to machine all the detailed little parts on such a tiny scale back in that time. Great job restoring this beauty. 👏
I have my grandparents watches both over 106 years old. I’d love to have grandfather’s watch restored. It has some damage from some heavy use. But it’s fascinating to watch these heirlooms restored.
If you upgrade the time machine with a larger flux capacitor, you could put the whole watch in it and bring it back to its original state with no effort.
@@RedDeadRestoration It just wouldn't be worth the effort to even flip the switch. If there's no effort or appreciation for the knowledge and the effort involved in the building and repair of these fine works of art which is in and of itself an art, then yes life would be very boring indeed. Thanks for your time and effort, in making these videos. 👍✌
Yet again TH-cam has suggested a channel that I did not know that I needed in my life! Glad to see there were very few comments about the "patina". This watch did not have patina, it was tarnish through failure to look after it properly. It has been restored to the state that, even after 100 years, it should have been in had it been cared for. Well done Sir, you are a master of your craft. Thank you for sharing. Another new subscriber. BTW my dog is still watching me curiously as when you opened the main spring casing and it made a loud noise, I gasped in surprise!
So eine besitze ich auch als Erbstück in Gold :D ich finde die Beständigkeit und Zuverlässigkeit der Mechanik dahinter wirklich immer wieder beeindruckend
Came across this video while looking for wristwatch restoration, and i have to say that the beauty of this object brought me to tears - very unexpectedly! The intricate design, the authenticity of something so delicate and made with care, restored with the same care and attention over 100 years later. I'm in my mid 20s, so this watch is older than my parents, grandparents, its older than anyone i will ever know and yet the peices still work together harmoniously, it really is so beautiful. This video was an emotional rollercoaster! To my surprise, i was deeply touched, and very much in love with this object. This video has brought me a huge amount of unexpected joy and emotion, so..thanks! And keep doing what you're doing. Really great work. 👍
This is an incredible restoration of a pocket watch with a history of 100 years. I have a Grandpa Rotary like this in the video. Fortunately it still works! Congratulations on your unique technique ! ⌚⌚⌚⌚
I've seen watches that have the date and repairers names inscribed inside the cover, I hope you do the same! A testament to skill, craftsmanship and pride of a task well done. Never get tired of your videos. Can I apprentice with you?
Many watchmakers are doing that, right. I'm not a fan of those "inscriptions". It's useless in my opinion and it "damages" the property of the customer.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SKILLS, YOUR PROFESSIONAL KNOWLEDGE AND YOUR VALUABLE TIME WITH THE RESTORATION OF THIS HISTORICAL ITEM AND ALL OF THE OTHER TIMEPIECES.
The one thing I miss that is going out of society is facial expressions, body language, voices, and the nuances of human interaction, I was born in 1960, modern times are alien to me. Watching your show gives me much enjoyment, the way you present the watches is wonderfully simple and human, I actually get that feeling of connecting in a human way, for instance when you flipped the cover from your pen knife, I found that very funny, it's that subtle expression that's missing from today's world of bowing to the almighty currency and material of the world. I feel were losing our sense of what it is to be human. Thank you.
Absolute perfection in craftsmanship, mesmerising to even watch, just a shame you don’t do it for a living as I can see you’ve gone to a lot of trouble with all that specific machinery and tools you have there, and the trouble is I am finding it harder and harder to find anyone to even service my pocket watches let alone restore them.
Hi, I am a huge fan of pocket watches and I have to say that this video was great, so much care and professionalism went into this revival of this watch, well done Sir 👏
I find it hard to look at your cleaning machine in these older videos since you carried out your superb restoration of it. Masterful restoration of that beautiful pocket watch though.
A friend of my uncle has one of these, same mechanism, different "garnishments". Has been in his family from day one, and in total, it has been taken to be repaired and maintained only ~30 some times, most of which are recent (post 90's). Beautifully simple and robust movement.
…stunning…truly magnificent to enjoy with your wry humor sprinkled in…while working do you imagine how beautiful It will be?…you are quite a good story teller and your cinematic skills superb…
Always a pleasure watching your very professionally-looking watch repair videos. As with any of these watch repair channels I am addicted to, I wish you, and others, would include the history of the piece, from when it was made to how it ended up in your hands. Thanks.
Another astonishing result here. I do so enjoy watching how you slowly and surely breathe life back into these old derelict watches. This video is particularly good because, being a pocket watch, the parts are larger and it is easier to see what is going on. Thank you for posting.
Besides the extraordinary skills of our master watch-restorer, what amazes me the most is how little the mechanics of a good watch have changed throughout all these years. I am be no means an expert and all I know is from watching his YT videos. Therefore I might misjudge the importance of the details here. But there are so many familiar similarities. Really impressive!
New sub here. It’s my considered opinion that yours is the best watch restoration channel on TH-cam. Thank you for sharing. Greetings from Alabama, US.
...and the vast majority of the population is perfectly happy with a digital gizmo stuck to their wrist. This is most definitely a dying art and I wonder how many young, mechanically inclined, people have the interest to follow these artists as they age.
@@MrGaryGG48 Yup, most folk seem to want the attention free, trendy, flashy stuff now. I still have my father's watch he was issued with when he joined the Royal Engineers in 1939. Nothing fancy, but that's irrelevant.
Watches and the clockwork within are so astonishing to me. It all looks so fragile, like it can break at the slightest touch. It runs on singular droplets of oil but when it all comes together, it works perfectly in unity.
To be fair a modern day automatic is just as durable if maintained,some are affordable and durable such as the seiko 5 line of watches,fortunatly not everything is shite and meant to break nowdays even thought it's often the case
no music no bla bla bla, just clicks clack... ahhhh so relaxing😌😌
Yap that's right

Reasons I love this channel. No talking, no goofy music played through whole video, excellent video and sound quality. 5 stars
I think the craftsman, who produced this watch, would be proud to have it in the hands of such a attentive professional.
Oh so many pieces to lose. I would never be able to put this back together without some left over parts. Great job!!
Just to think this delicate watch survived the great depression & mass unemployment of the 20s, the 3rd Reich and World War 2 in the 30s & 40s, Black Market trades in the 50s and whatever else was thrown at it over time. Always there was someone caring enough to preserve and save it.
keps working fine
And that's why I am so enamored of anyone who makes such an effort to save these little darlings for the next generation. Great work!
Never watched a watch repair video ever! This blows me away.

I knew old watches had a ton of moving parts, but I never know it was THAT many. They really are works of art and wonders of engineering.

Masterful. And I agree with the person who suggested some explanations of each step. Either way, very satisfying to watch!

Music in the end was so soothing….. Your skill to put the watch together is awesome
