I was a clock restorer for many years. I sold a Smith & Son's 1840s skeleton clock to Arnold & Son in Geneva for their museum. Smith & Son were exceptional at their craft hence why one of the worlds greatest watchmakers want a example of Smith & Son in their care.
Can you please explain the time left indicator dial, the expert said it tells you how much time is left on the watch before you have to wind it up, so the expert wound it up and the indicator went down not up, showing less time left on the watch before you had to wind it up again, the indicator went from 24 mark, which I assume means full, and went clockwise down, which I assume means less time left. I can't make sense of that at all, it seems to me it's working in reverse?
I loved seeing her smile. I loved hearing her talk about the provenance of the watch. She loved her father dearly. She can hand it down to her children. When she explains how valuable it is, she will speak of their grandfather, and the nice man who appraised it. Antiques are only junk without the people who love and care for them. Thank you, Antiques Road Show. You made my day with this one.
I cringed every time he pronounced it. I would think an expert on watches and horology would know the proper pronunciation of such an important movement feature.
It isn't uncommon for a sixty second tourbillon (a tourbillon that takes sixty seconds for it's cage to make a complete revolution) in wristwatches to be used to measure seconds, in place of a more traditional second hand.

As an expert his description of the wind indicator has to be wrong. He states that is shows how much time is left before the watch will stop ticking. Yet, when he winds the watch the indicator goes down towards zero. I think it must indicate how long it has been since the watch was last wound. Thus zero would indicate that it had just been wound, and 24 would indicate that it needs winding again.
@@Pwwh0711 She is real woman and it is make it much better. Not like a "chick" whom drink "cocoa" powder and do squats and wears tons of makeup and wearing yoga pants everywhere.
I have a silver pocket watch made in London in around 1760, so 250 years old. Beautiful and still works but I have stopped winding it in fear of something breaking. Old pocket watches like that can still be cheap today despite the age, rarity etc as most people don't value things like that but prefer new stuff regardless how mass produced it may be, only the rarest of these watches has high value.
The cool thing about old watches, you can literally measure their value. With a very great certainty (not perfect ofc), the closer it keeps time, the greater it's value. And this thing rivals all, especially if moved around thru it's test. But even that isn't necessary. As the earth rotates, even a stationary watch is flipped around 360 every 24 hours, and this baby combats that!
David M idk if your joking or not but it would be sold to collectors with money. In terms of functionality there is absolutely no use for it because of wrist watches and phones. Its a historical timepiece. Thats it

It reminds me of a book I had to read out loud in grade school. A word was split between two lines, child on the top line and ren on the second. I read it as child run instead of children. Yea, my face is still red 35 years later. 😳
she's never owned a watch that required winding and from the stories i hear most people in her generation probably believe watches have never needed winding.
Just to nitpick some more: A winding indicator and a power reserve indicator are not interchangeable terms. A winding indicator will track the time passed since the watch was last wound. 0 will typically not represent a full wind, nor will (in this case) 24 represent a depleted mainspring. The display is meant to indicate an ideal wind for consistent amplitude and timekeeping, and not the overall power left in the mainspring.
What you see here is a very famous escapement. Its called a turbillion. Until this style of escapement was invented people had to live with watches that only had turmillion or turthousand escapements. These lesser complex escapements were powered by air instead of coiled springs. The "Wind" indicator is to pay homage to all the non-turbillion watches that came before it. The turbillion was invented by Abe Bengay, an very famous Oar-olojist.
Abraham-Louis Breguet. It was invented to allow pocket watches, worn upright in a waistcoat pocket to not constantly gain time. BTW, it's called a Tourbillon (Tourbiyon). Repeat after me - there is only one "i" in Tourbillon.
They last for about 6 months and then go to the great Chinese watchmaker in the sky. They will, when working and on a good day, tell the time to within 4 hours a day. Otherwise they are only right twice a day.
Nice, but she would have a good idea of the value of the watch. Someone has obviously been getting it serviced, and service wouldn't be cheap either. You wouldn't drop a few grand on service every few years if you didn't know the watch was special. Or at the very least the guy servicing would tell you.
Rick would give her $50 for the watch. Because, you know, he gotta clean it up, polish, repair whatever can be repaired, and put it on a shelf for God knows how long.....
I'm hoping my sundial collection will be worth something someday; those leather watch bands are not as durable as they claim. They sure keep great time.
WOW, this pocket watch is over 100 years old and it still works! And it looks almost like brand new, except for the hairline crack on the dial of the watch.
"My father grew up in Greenwich, Connecticut." That should be the first clue. It's so affluent there even the homeless men have three piece, pin-striped suits.
I have a watch that can tell the temperature, barometric pressure, moon phases, tide phases and I thought "Hey here's one that can tell you the wind speed. How can it do that?...and it's older technology."
I LIKE Tourbillions. I have one, but I bought mine for the looks of it, you can see through the front face and watch it all work, with a glance! Love it.
Patek Philippe are terribly snooty about their Tourbillons, most of them are not visible through the case, you'd have to take the back off to see it. Then an automatic alarm sends someone round from Patek Philippe to shoot you.
Incredible how no further review was made on the King of Spain fact. Having the Royal Seal on the back and refering to "His Royal Mayesty"...isn't this THE King´s watch? If the King owned it then it would be night and day on the value.
Raul Acuña Bejarano I think having the royal warrant on the watch just means that they are a supplier to the king and that the item is of quality high enough to be used by the royal family. This indicates to the buyer they are buying quality. I don’t think it means it is THE watch owned by the king.
Yes, certainly could be. If the story was nowadays I would say almost positive that would be the outcome. Being from 1904, having a Tourbillon, and a very intricate Royal seal on the movement.... I'd say no harm in digging a bit deeper.
