They had 3 turns and were 3 thousands of an inch across. Without a microscope they just looked like dust. I was impressed...

    I'd like to say two things:
    First, it was an absolute joy watching, no pun intended, a master at work. And second, the history of the Industrial Revolution and the advance it made in the lives of the working class would not be complete or even possible without the watchmaker. Long before CNC tools the watchmaker needed ultra precise fine parts and that need pushed technology to make watches possible -- that development was crucial to every thing that came after. The products that were core to the early Industrial Revolution included: sewing machines and textile equipment, farm implements and hand tools, guns and watches and clocks. Of all these products the watch was an order of magnitude more significant in pushing technology.

    I stopped wearing my watches decades ago. Now that I’ve seen a few of your videos, I’ll think I’ll wear some of them again.

    I have been marathon-watching your videos since I discovered your channel. I believe I've watched every single video at least 3 or 4 times now and I am still amazed and fascinated with your skills, humility, humor (I do enjoy your funny comments, jokes and even your singing) and inspiring parenting. Thank you so much for existing. The internet and the world are better places because of you.

    It’s amazing that you can wind up the mainspring while talking about the evolution of synthetic lubricants at the same time.

    What a beautiful watch, so well made. It's amazing to see them when you have completed restorations on those mechanical marvels.

    There is such beauty in the precision of those watches. What leaves me in awe, is the precision of the individual parts. The makers of those pieces must have been the finest microscopic parts makers ever.

    Previously in my life I've never had any interest in watch repairs or restoration. In fact I don't even own a watch! Then I stumbled upon your channel just by chance. Now I'm addicted and hoping to buy a watch soon too.

    Your commentary is as interesting and entertaining as the work you do on the video. You patience is admiral as well. It amazes me that such precision could have created such a magnificent device SO MANY YEARS ago.

    I love this! Thank you for being so informative and so willing to teach. I have recently cultivated a love for wrist watches and am learning the difference in movements.

    Look at all that beautiful brushed patterning on the movement underneath the balance & the dial... such fine & purely decorative work which is only ever seen & appreciated by the various watchmakers over time. Gorgeous! 👌
