    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. ;-)

      I have a 992B , a bit newer. Have had it for near 50 yrs and never had to have it serviced. I think Hamilton was likely the best in it's day!

    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.

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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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. 👍

    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.

    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!

      ...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
