I must be a serious nerd, but I found this thoroughly entertaining. The watch was so beautiful and you did such a great job on it. Thank you for posting the video.
i love how placing the jewel above the balance wheel, looks like working on a beating heart. I've always felt like older mechanical watches are magical! thanks for sharing what we otherwise may have never seen. M Austin, USA
You have a very calming voice. l love to settle down at night, and watch a few of these vids to learn ...even though l dont wear watches. Sometimes l like to dose off, and your voice lets me do this without being _jolted_ awake! Thank you for your work!
I was so pleased to get notice of this new upload. I thoroughly enjoy your work. I hope that your customers have a proper understanding of your skill as well as your obvious respect for the movements. You have had a remarkable impact on my own approach to my work. I do have a few questions and hope we can discuss this off this comment section since they are technical and for my benefit only. Thank you for these videos!
Thank you :) Please don't be offended but I would prefer to keep technical discussions on my forum as my aim for this channel is to benefit the community. www.watchrepairtalk.com
Quite possibly, the most beautiful watch I've seen to date, or at least in the top three. Your attention to detail and getting the job done right are so well appreciated by those of us who want to learn this fine craft, as well as the paying customer who places his trust in your care. Well done Mark and thank you for sharing this effort to the world !
This video is absolutely great, and what a beautiful movement! I have been longing for another video, I'm so glad your back! Please keep up the great work, and again, thanks so much for your time and trouble. You are most appreciated by me, and apparently many others!!
I am learning so much from you! I am replacing a ISA quartz movement on one of my watches and your videos have me the confidence to know I am going to do it right. Thank you!
Such a beautifully designed movement, must have been a joy to work on! I hope to have the privilege one day to work on a timepiece like this. Excellent video, as always!
There is absolutely no way to comprehend or appreciate how incredibly small these parts are unless you’ve seen examples in person. It is so amazing how Mark simply moves them about with such ease and precision. I realize you have years of experience, but I’m still always in awe.
Mark, the Beautiful craftsmanship and hand finishing on this lovely timepiece, perfectly complimented by the beautiful workmanship and attention to detail of the true professional you clearly are. Such hand skills, knowledge and experience are a rare combination in today's plug a computer into it, technological approach. When I was younger, I worked on Aircraft instruments, which though were no where near as aesthetically and cosmetically finished, were equally as beautifully engineered, as a person such as your self might find interesting. I worked I a clean room working on Gyro Stabilised platforms, Rate Gyroscopes, Rate integrating gyroscopes and Inertial platforms. I too took immense pride in my work, tolerance limits to me were a challenge not an it'll do to just meet the spec. Personal pride you take in your work reminds me of me. I hate knowing I could have done that little bit better, I always have to feel I did the best that was possible. Of course with aircraft instrumentation and reference systems, lives depend on the dedication of a host of unseen individuals. I love your videos and watching the beautiful thing that is, a true professional at work! That carries through into the quality of your videos, and why I watched this one again.
I am new to watch repairs and am glad to have discovered this video. I cannot improve on the comment by olivier1: "Very interesting video, clear explanations, sharp images..no distracting and pointless music...great professionnal work.". Many thanks.
Great video of excellent work on a fine watch. These FA Jones caliber watches are especially attractive to me. This is because I first got involved in watches through pocket watches. In the late nineteenth century IWC made a Jones Caliber pocket watch that had this exquisite plate design. This watch is an excellent tribute to the original. Thanks for another educational journey, WatchRepairChannel !
I've just cleaned my Smiths pin pallet pocket watch (I'm a complete novice) and now I can see why they were so cheap to make after looking at this IWC. Fantastic ! I have learned a lot from your vids.
Excellent walkthrough, so focused, precise, and careful, yet calming and meditative. I would pay premium for a walk through video service, inspection, diagnosis report of this quality when I send my watch in for repair in June 2019.
Of all the watch channels I follow .. I like this one the best... Perfect Calm , soothing voice ... excellent video and explanations ... Ive bought a few movements to take apart and reassemble .. I’ll be sending you those soon for repairs 🤣🤣🤣... Crack on mate.....
A really informative video, perfectly accompanied by a very calm voice which makes it a delight to listen to! I'd call the part at 6:20 a Flange - just my ten cents ;-) All the Best Adrian
Coming from an automotive background I would call it a hub. A hub is what the wheel, a solid object, is mounted to be able to have circular motion of said object in this case a gear. Flange are more for static attachment.
Grazie mille Mark, é sempre un piacere guardarti a smontare, rimontare e spiegare.... Sei un grande per me. Molto meglio guardare te che guardare qualsiasi film d'azione ☺👍⌚
Really enjoyed watching this. As a retired HGV mechanic I could relate to the dismantling and reassembly processes, but not to your patience, skill, and lack of a large hammer.
Mark, you are simply amazing, you make it look so easy! But I am working my hardest to be as good as you. You are by far the Professor of Horologist. Please keep the videos coming they are the best on the world internet, although I do over the Bunn Special guy to!
One of the past servicers had some difficulty getting the pivot into it's jewel at 10:42...that wild scratch as the pivot tried to find it's jewel seems to be the only markings on the entire movement...it is such a beautiful, well maintained movement!
What a beautiful machine! I was hoping to see your technique for oiling the pallet stones, I always find that difficult and feel like there's probably a better way I could be doing that. Anyway, great video, thank you for sharing!
Bet the ETA 7750 that I bought to learn and practice on is hoping the lockdown ends soon, it has been stripped,cleaned and serviced 6 times so far! Now getting pretty confident with it,plenty more practices to go. At the point of considering acquiring another that is in a much used condition to work on with a view to rectifying defects and damage. Thanks Mark.
You have wonderful fine motor skills. Its such a pleasure watching you work and the commentary is spot on to keep us informed as to what you are doing.... Bravo!
21:30 ... a beautifully made piece with such crazy attention to detail. Just look at how they finished the end of the ratchet click spring, its spheroidal !... No wonder these watches cost two arms and a leg. Great video WRC and thanks for sharing your hard earned skill
Beautiful looking watch mark fantastic video yet a gain. I've been looking for your latest videos every other day glad your up and running with your recording system best wishers ady
The internet is flooded with nerds in white gloves "reviewing" borrowed watches they can't afford pretending to be specialists ! This was the first time I watched a real watch pro work, very interesting ! Thanks ;-)
You should have been a neurosurgeon with those steady hands!! Great video and great skill. Good to see the watch maker hobby still having such enthusiasm behind it
Wonderful, video, we take for granted those marvels and people who make and repair them like you. I will have much more respect now (I'm not saying that I did not have respect before)

Very interesting video, clear explanations, sharp images..no distracting and pointless music...great professionnal work.
Been watching your vids, could you explain when reassembling the balance plate assembly, how does it just magically start to run.
Thanks.
Dave

The quality of this video is great. Thank you for posting it.
Brilliant video! Your voice is very calm sounding. Reminded me of my math professor.
Quite a beautiful watch. The internal workings appear very well made as well. Enjoyed the video very much.
Thank you Mark, I have been longing for a new video. Beautiful movement and nice work!
Thanks Anders :)
A beautiful piece, Mark. Really enjoy watching a craftsman at work.
It was my first time to see your repair and it was really impressive. Lovely video. AK
Beautiful watch, beautiful movement, beautiful work, and beautiful presentation. Thank you!
I've just cleaned my Smiths pin pallet pocket watch (I'm a complete novice) and now I can see why they were so cheap to make after looking at this IWC. Fantastic ! I have learned a lot from your vids.
Your live commentary is befitting a professional snooker match. Steady pace, yet intense.
It's good to see that such workmanship still exists. Thank you very much.
Excellent walkthrough, so focused, precise, and careful, yet calming and meditative. I would pay premium for a walk through video service, inspection, diagnosis report of this quality when I send my watch in for repair in June 2019.
It's amazing movement, so simple and beautiful.
I love your videos so much
I have always wanted to start a hobby of fixing pocket watches. You have definelty inspired me to start mark!
Thanks!
Gorgeous movement, I really would like to own one of these watches.Thanks for this video Mark!
Such a beautiful watch with all that decoration. Splendid sharp videowork, really enjoyed it!
Thoroughly enjoyed watching you work on a movement with highly finished parts that distinguish it from regular watches.
Thanks Karim
This is the 3rd time I've watched this particular video. Something must be said about the sheer elegance of simplicity found in this movement.
simply elegant movement! just gorgeous! Great video as always, Thank you so much!
Of all the watch channels I follow .. I like this one the best... Perfect Calm , soothing voice ... excellent video and explanations ... Ive

I'd call the part at 6:20 a Flange - just my ten cents ;-)
All the Best
Adrian
"The plane doesnt even have a falange"! =]

well done!!!!. Second time I've watched this. Great movement. Great photography. Many thanks.
Wow, I learned so much. So clear and free of what is not needed. Thank you.

Takes serious confidence & skill, true expert. I'd love to be able to work on watches like this

What a lovely face on this watch, simple and elegant. Fantastic vid as usual. Thanks.
So very satisfying! Great production values, too!
Mark, you are simply amazing, you make it look so easy! But I am working my hardest to be as good as you. You are by far the Professor of Horologist. Please keep the videos coming they are the best on the world internet, although I do over the Bunn Special guy to!
Thanks Dave :)
Lovely watch Mark. I will look to add one to my collection. Thanks for a great and informative video.
I just love the moment when the balance wheel is replaced and the heart of the watch starts beating. Thank you.
I am always in awe of how ambidextrous you are!
Thank You Mark. Another great video, I learn a bit with every video.
That is a beautiful movement. Nice work. Love your videos👍
Thanks, i am 64 yo, if i had my time around i would do your job. So skilful. An art form.
One of the past servicers had some difficulty getting the pivot into it's jewel at 10:42...that wild scratch as the pivot tried to find it's jewel seems to be the only markings on the entire movement...it is such a beautiful, well maintained movement!
This is a beautiful watch, nice job! Thanks for sharing this wonderful video...
very interesting as always Mark. Love these videos.
Amazing skills. Very good content as you explain it. Thank you. I followed yours and was able to re-lube my own watch.

Thank you very helpful looking forward to your next session
I love how it's designed like an old pocket watch, absolutely grand.
Indeed - its a wonderful thing :)
I have watched a few of these videos now. This is forensic art at its finest. Just like the people who strip and service old manual cameras.
41:50
I don't think I've ever seen such a well centered balance wheel
I'm used to working on cheap soviet watches : )
Smashed that like button. Great video, beautiful watch, great explanations.
Very interesting, informative, and soothing
ostra slika sa kojom je camerom snimano >, clear explanations, sharp images..no distracting and pointless music
Beautiful watch and skilled hands!
I love the readability of the face . Well done .
You have wonderful fine motor skills. Its such a pleasure watching you work and the commentary is spot on to keep us informed as to what you are doing.... Bravo!
Very well done excellent illustration explanation
AT 18:30 looks like some debris in the upper left corner of the recess ? Very professional work. Enjoy watching the meticulous work.
What a beautiful watch. Excellent vid. Subbed
love the design of the keyless works.
21:30
... a beautifully made piece with such crazy attention to detail. Just look at how they finished the end of the ratchet click spring, its spheroidal !... No wonder these watches cost two arms and a leg. Great video WRC and thanks for sharing your hard earned skill
Nice. Thoroughly enjoyed.
I love your channel...simply amazing 🙌
That beautiful moment when he places the oscillating wheel and my heart skips a beat. 39:25
The balance you mean...
Nice job and beautiful watch!

Beautiful looking watch mark fantastic video yet a gain. I've been looking for your latest videos every other day glad your up and running with your recording system best wishers ady
Cheers Mate :)
Congratulations on the new microphone. Works MUCH better.
What a marvellous watch!
The internet is flooded with nerds in white gloves "reviewing" borrowed watches they can't afford pretending to be specialists ! This was the first time I watched a real watch pro work, very interesting ! Thanks ;-)

Wonderful, video, we take for granted those marvels and people who make and repair them like you. I will have much more respect now (I'm not saying that I did not have respect before)
thanks for very good video and useful example of excellent job!
i have this movement in another Portuguese watch, it is stunning!
love your videos. very informative.
