So what is this "Jacot tool" and do you really need one? I answer these questions and give a detailed demonstration on how to use it. I am not a professional watchmaker but rather a hobbyist just sharing my knowledge. I hope you find this video of some value and if you like it, please subscribe, like and leave a comment.
Here I am, starting my learning and admiring your work.
I'm glad TH-cam exists so I can learn from you.
Please keep posting your videos because they will keep the profession alive.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge, it is very valuable to me.
"Screwed up" I mean "fixed up". That was very funny!!!
😊 yo me estoy fabricando ese torno 😊, hoy fui a que me hicieran dos agujeros para que cuando gire vaya preciso 😊 estoy feliz por mi torno 😊
This is one of those more advanced skills that I'd like to add to my repertoire, to bring older movements more fully back to life. Thanks for a really good demo!
Thank you for a detailed discussion of the steps in setting up the work. I like the idea of using paper to catch the part if it comes off.
I dont work on watches, but I do like watchmaking tools. This was a very nice presentation. 👍
Great video, thanks! Valuable information.
Ah, it's always interesting to hear someone's voice for the first time. Great video and great camerawork. Looking forward to watching more from you!
Thanks a lot! It's very flattering hearing encouraging words from a peer. Much appreciated!
Thank you. Very informative and clear
Perhaps I missed it, but don’t forget to put a drop of oil on the burnisher. Nice video, thank you.
I always do, I just forget to mention some things in the videos. My bad! Cheers!
Amazing information, thank you.
Excellent video that helped me a lot, thanks!
amazing ! Have to buy one, having so many pocket watches to be fix.
Amazing
Very useful. Thank you.
My pleasure!
Excellent information. Thanks.
You're welcome Hossein!
Отличное видео, все хорошо показано
Thank You
Thanks, very useful! You’re not that grumpy🤣
How does one prevent damage to the "web" of the wheel each time the bow direction is reversed? Is the driving pin a softer material?
Would this work with a Miyota quartz movement?
Hi
What is the max arbor length which you can use in this tool?
The thing is that while this is a bow-driven JACOT tool, there are quite a number of similar tools which are a tad different from the one shown. These tools I mention have yet to be discussed as have you with This tool.
Thank you for the video, was very detailed, could follow everything. Where do you buy the burnisher file? Thank you.
Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it. I bought mine on ebay. They can also be bought at the usual online horological suppliers as Otto Frei, Cas-ker and Esslinger. Cheers!
@@grumpyswatchrestorations thank you, I guess it will be the Bergeon one, better safe than sorry :p
I noticed when you flipped the wheel to do the short side of the staff that you wore a step onto the end of the first pivot. Do you not use lube in that area when polishing? Also, when should the pivot ends be rounded on the staffs of the wheels or balance?
The step at the pivot root is the result of lack of control of the burnisher, allowing it to wander away from the shoulder. It isn't directly related to lubrication or lack of it.
I noticed color change on the pivots. Do you think they overheated? Are they made from hardened steel or mild? Because if hardened, the colors indicates change in the hardness and they may wear out quicker
Those colours do suggest that the pivot has been heated, which should never happen with a Jacot tool; perhaps here due to lack of essential lubrication? Pivots are rarely left dead hard because they would be too brittle, but in most cases they're hardened and tempered to blue, which is what the result here appears to be.
Is it possible to drill a hole to replace the pivot with that tool?
No, it isn't designed to do that.
Where can one get the burnishing steel that you are using?
Hello Devon. Burnishers can be purchased on Ebay if you want to go the used route. They have new ones as well, or you can get them from online watchmaking suppliers such as Kasker's, Otto Frei (I think) or Cousins over in the UK. Cheers!
You seem to use the terms 'polishing' and 'burnishing' interchangeably, but they're very different processes. The Jacot tool is intended for the latter, not the former. If you want to find some documentation on the Jacot tool, (and a great deal else besides), read 'Watchmaking' by George Daniels.

Marek, I have been trying to contact you please answer emails.
Please dont move your file.
Only move your bow
people who cant lay bricks should never try and make a video telling people how they lay bricks ,,, this was painfull to watch
Mate, if u are that good, u should put out a video, its great picking holes at others,put out a video on how u do it or shut up. We are all students in this world.NOBODY is too smart.😢
Only critique can push you forward, but can be valuable only with pointing on whats wrong. Should you be more specific? I am not a watchmaker, but can be nice to know your thoughts. Me personaly will make rounded ends first before final touch at least. Thanks
Peter
Criticizing someone who at least is striving is pointless and as easy as pretending to be born perfect
I just bought one you may have save a few innocent pivots THANKS
