@@shafismaili1347 I was replying to a comment about a "low price" watch and adding my two cents to someone's accurate remark that the watch in question is not low-priced at all (but rather low quality and quite overpriced).

4:21 you know sometimes when you drop a screw and It tele transports to another dimension, never to be seen again?. I was heavy sweating for that little pawn and the rest of the pieces for them, not to fall into that pile of metal swarf :D Amazing work as usual.
Amazing work, and I love miniature craftsmanship like this. My only issue with this was that the board shown is not a legal position! A black pawn could never be in the top left corner as you show it. In addition, because the board is angled in the picture and the pieces are straight up, it makes it look like the pieces are slanted, however that is very hard to notice at first glance and still looks amazing.
@kemphoss-4791 I think that's just the slant of the board. If you screenshot it and compare, they are almost identical. Really shows the level of craftsmanship put into this.
It sounds easy but magnets strong enough to hold the pieces securely would destroy a mechanical watch and halt a quartz. If you wanted to make things move you would be better off using a thin glass layer over the dial, or having the “dial” itself rotate partially. Aso, you could only get arc motion not straight lines
I would think moving the mechanism off center would be difficult to impossible with an automatic movement. It was possible with this because of the small movement that could easily be repositioned within the case.
@@melody3741 When you said you would like to see this done, it seemed like you meant this design. Miyota's current catalog of automatic calibers are all 11 1/2 ligne, which is about 26mm or just over an inch. Their smaller calibers are all quartz electrics. I took this info from the catalog on their site, so it might not reflect older options.
You took a cheapo watch and created a work of art out of it, you're very creative and very skilled. Bravo! A watch that every Grandmaster would love to have in their collection. Watch collection or chess-set collection...I'm not sure!
wow .. engineering is phenomenal - a majestic work of Art -- this watch maker is a true genius -- I admire their greatness .. I would but this chess watch if its for sale and affordable ...
Not shown: the occasional important little bit going flying off, having to be refound before continuing the project 😭 Regardless of my jest, absolutely stunning work!
Amazing piece.. only suggestion would be move the pawn from the corner as a pawn would never be in the corner on a chess board, unless this was post move but pre promote.
This was lovely to watch 😅 and listen to, and it was astounding to see how it all comes together love the functionality and it’s a perfect watch. Thank you for your Channel. 🙌
No fckng wayyyy. You r like a secret gem in TH-cam!! After this video Jacop&Co has to send you a very good contract. It's so impressive and creative work sir. I watched everything with a shocking face haha. Incredible❤
Machining is so amazing on one hand you have this tiny work and on the other hand you may have a D6 part chucked up in a big lath. I think it is neat going from one extreme to the other.

The amount of detail is insane, who would have imagined creating chess pieces that small
Amazing ❗❤
Me :)
Never in all my days had I imagined modifying an existing watch. You, are an impressive craftsman.
... wat?
That’s like what 99% of what the watch builders do lol

Turning a low price watch into a piece of art, compliments to you.
Low quality. Not low price...
@@moagnor it probably cost only 60 cents to manufacture at a large scale factory.

As impressive as it looks, imagine to have functional chess at this size :) and in this form :)
That is what I imangined it was.
@@alchemystudiosink1894 cool :)
Magnetic Version could but much work
I thought it was functional
Cant remove pieces off the board. A digital chess board imitating the colors could do the trick.

This is next level work. The thought and detail going into this piece are as amazing as the craftsmanship. ❤❤❤

I think that's a bishop, it looks slightly taller than the pawns

Glad to see you back 😊
You made an master peice sir this is incredible 👏 🙌 😍 👌 no words to describe the beauty
Gorgeous work. I love a craftsman who builds their own tools. Well done.
Such a beautiful masterpiece! Well done, I wish I had one at my wrist
So do I!
First check whether u have wrist
What would that cost? I love it!
Is there any meaning to the position of the pieces?
It would be cool if you made the pieces from steel and used magnets to make it move in place of the dials.
It sounds easy but magnets strong enough to hold the pieces securely would destroy a mechanical watch and halt a quartz. If you wanted to make things move you would be better off using a thin glass layer over the dial, or having the “dial” itself rotate partially. Aso, you could only get arc motion not straight lines
@@melody3741 couldn’t have said it better myself. Magnets are a no-no with watches.
Magnets ruin analog watches.
@@SchmendricksLaw mechanical watches. Analog format doesn’t matter.
@andrewmosley2588 did you just argue semantics? What a waste of brain power.
I'm not sure what's more impressive, the creativity or the craftsmanship. Simply stunning.
Breathtaking 😮!
For the effort you have invested this work of art deserves a better movement.
Well done 👍👏!!!
Yea, I couldn't believe it! Better movement, please.
Você e duente da cabeça 😂 vai ter capacidade lá em cima das grades árvores 😮 que mãos talentosa
The pawn is in an illegal position at 7:41.
Absolutely mindblowing ! Great job and nice vid. Congrats and best regards !
It amazes me how small a scale you work in. I don’t have the patience for this kind of work. Your work is incredible!
I am truly amazed at just how much detail there is in this. Thank you.
Would love to see this done with a quality watch with a decorated automatic movement. You are a true craftsman.
I would think moving the mechanism off center would be difficult to impossible with an automatic movement. It was possible with this because of the small movement that could easily be repositioned within the case.
@@DavZell this isn’t the only option for decoration. Also miyota makes some positively tiny movements

I love that the board has some perspective to it
Finally. You are here again. Please continue to share your precious work with us. Thank you.
Du bist unglaublich. Mega schöne arbeit. Ich 🎉 deine videos. Bitte mach so weiter solang du kannst.
He's back \o/
I'm so happy you have no idea.
This is a perfect example of a creative mind at work!
Never stifle free-thinking..
Such an amazing person as well as project! Never stop being you!
love the perspective you chose for the board, such confidence
Really good Job my friend.
Amazing build, with a outstanding edition work.
Plus, it's quite relaxing.
Thanks for sharing
これは素晴らしい。こういう独立時計師がいるのがうれしい。何よりかっこいい。
This is fantastic. I'm happy to have such an independent watchmaker. Cooler than anything else.
Like always, i absolutely loved watching your videos. Its nice to see you using tools that i have watched you build.
A masterpiece in itself
Can't believe how good all this is. Other than the shitty little cut down clock hands. Make your own nice ones that go with the build
I would’ve obsessed over the orientation of the chess pieces on the board
Unbelievable! Congrats!
Na moral, esse exclama mil!! Lindo item!!
Remarkable - Such precise manufacture. Beautifully Finished watch !!
Can you please list equipment, tools, & software?
That tune is so beautiful, giving that masterpiece of video a whole different vibe.
Just amazing. Now can someone make one that has a full board with all the pieces with one moving every hour and then resetting at the 12 hour?
Beautiful work!! What a talent
Very cool project, nicely executed! 👍
Genius using the smaller movement and offsetting it to clear everything. And the time clock is the cherry on top.
WOW! I'm gobsmacked, although, I don't know why as all of your work is incredible! Great job! 👍
Wow, look how all those little pieces are kept in check, mate.
Love this!! would love to see more stuff like this
Amazing work!
Absolutely amazing! 🤯 so creative and beautiful! 💯

Great as always!

ساعة مذهلة ومثيرة للاعجاب وتستحق 100 على1000
⌚وجميلة ومناسبة لمحبي الشطرنج
Bellissimo! Mi chiedo solo come ti sia venuta la passione di costruire cose così estremamente piccole
Not shown: the occasional important little bit going flying off, having to be refound before continuing the project 😭
Regardless of my jest, absolutely stunning work!
Only MVMT watch worth looking at
One of the more creative projects ive seen on youtube in many years
Wow.. Congrats, :) that looks awsome:)
This is a work of art. Would like to order if there is any feasible way to purchase this ❤
Great video and great to see you posting again!
Wow... just wow such skill! I'm impressed !
Beautiful work. What laser engraver are you using?
Amazing. Great result! Although the quartz movement doesn't do justice to the dial, it is an amazing and beautiful work!
Outstanding!
This was the first video I watched on your channel ever. I immediately subscribed. Impressive work of art. Keep up the good work.
oh I'm so glad your back! you truly are a craftsman on another level.
The watch is cool & all, but where can I get a mini lathe like that, & that mill too?
I think it turned out very nice! Nice work! 🙌
Amazing piece.. only suggestion would be move the pawn from the corner as a pawn would never be in the corner on a chess board, unless this was post move but pre promote.
Has anyone analyzed the pieces and determined their signature positions?
This was lovely to watch 😅 and listen to, and it was astounding to see how it all comes together love the functionality and it’s a perfect watch. Thank you for your Channel. 🙌
A pessoa ser boa no que faz é uma coisa, mas aí também é um exagero de talento né rsrs, força e honra 🤜🤛 parabéns 🙏🙌
Absolutely beautiful! And I love that music too. What's the piece called?
One word…… MAGNIFICENT ❤
Fantastic craftmanship at it´s best! Truly admirable!!
bro put the black pawn in the corner :[]
Very well done.
No fckng wayyyy. You r like a secret gem in TH-cam!! After this video Jacop&Co has to send you a very good contract. It's so impressive and creative work sir. I watched everything with a shocking face haha. Incredible❤
Why would you put all that work in a MVMT watch?
Machining is so amazing on one hand you have this tiny work and on the other hand you may have a D6 part chucked up in a big lath. I think it is neat going from one extreme to the other.
What is the music you used for this video? its fantastic.
I wanna this.
Now that is what you call talent, a master of the art, very nice.
3:21 ayo Nokia 😔😔🗣🔥🔥
Might have been interesting to have a famous position as your model. Absolutely amazing creativity well done
Your projects and skills are beyond amazing!!
Homemade! Yeah I think I go make one or two now! 😁 Man, this is taking boss-level to another level 😍👍
Amazing skills! Beautiful watch
The only MVMT that I would actually buy. Great workmanship!
Bravo!! 👏
That's a beautiful watch
Great idea! Well done!
Nice.....but what is the time😅

What is the software you are using to create the 3D models, please?
you can't eat pieces and ask for a letter without paying for it
For some reason I expected a playable version of chess inside of a wristwatch, but this is nice too.
You're crazy! Thanks for the upload!
Exceptional! Subbed.
This is so crazy!!!!!!!!!!!! Look at those small chess pieces!!!
Loved everything!! A different set of hands would have been cool
