- In this video i show You how to use a jewel setting opening tool, grind a replacement balance jewel and mount it in the setting on the lathe.
Keeping this art alive is so cool.
Excellent! In every way!
I thought this was an old days film about watch making jewel repair, until I seen a modern LED Light. Good video
Thank you!
Love the music. Replacing a jewel has never been so dramatic:)
hate broken jewlsss, why do they broke??? are they worn out or just broken due to an accdient?
They can wear out due to insufficient lubrication.
@@lkkjhtemmexv1838 Old watches dont have shock absorbing device. Either the pinion or the jewel breaks as a result of dropping the watch on a hard floor.
@@szbalogh Is it possible to retro-fit a shock absorbing device?
@@stopthephilosophicalzombie9017 Sure. One need a proper jeweling tool. I don't have it but it is basically a micrometer :) I have a micrometer and wanted to make stakes for it and try for this purpose :)
What a resourceful person. Made his own balance tac and lathe and did a great job. Hats off to you, Sir.
Thank you ;)
Voilà e qu'on appelle un travail d'art, c'est pas donné à tout le monde, felicitation, tu as accompli ce remplacement du rubis avec doigté et municie, bravo
Fantastic. I love the simple "lathe" you have made of wood and standard spindles. With very few things we can make marvels. You behave like a great watchmaker. Thanks very much.
Great results with the tools you have. Fantastic
Fabulous. Good matchmaking practice on the vintage pieces required intellect, and creativity. As shown in this video!
Beautifully done and what a fantastic lathe
I've been a watchmaker since the '70's and have never been more impressed with anyone's skills. You are one talented guy.
Thank you :)
This is a figurtive representation of life. The most important and beautiful things are not recognized, appreciated or shown until "they" don't have it. Then an ony then they realize what is written between the lines. Then it just gets covered up in the end or forgotten about after the dust has settled. "Who bleeds for the dancer"
Great Job!
Thank you! I was learning a lot from you Mark ;) I have no time for watchrepairs in recent years but please, look around on my channel!
You are a genius my man. You prove that it's what you know, rather then expensive tools.
Inspirational work Sir. I congratulate your ingenuity and skill. You show that quality work can be done by a hobbyist with very few expensive tools. Marvellous.
Great results with the tools you have. Fine craftsman. Thank you for sharing your work
I like your lathe. Very creative.
Thank you :)
@@szbalogh are you still doing watch stuff or have you given up on that hobby?
@@Jonas_GD_1234 I have no room to do it because of my kids. Simply could not leave anything on my desk, they took the tools and parts :) Maybe in a few years i can reestablish my desk again :)
@@szbalogh oh that sucks
You're very talented and resourceful. Great Job!
I have always wondered how watch jewels have been polished and set. Thanks. Smallest jewel I have ever bezel set is 3 mm. and there was tons of guess work and loads of "feel" to get it right. But, jewelry doesn't require alignments akin to those of a watch. Most impressive tiny work I have seen in quite a while.
Thank You ;)
Excellent job and music selection. Top notch.
You are kind. It is just hobby tinkering :)
Really inspiring! I enjoyed it very much.
Nice job, very well done!
Thank you ;)
Brilliant video. I admire your innovation - excellent skills
The orchestral version of the 2nd hungarian rhapsody suits this video pretty well!
Une très belle opération de restauration comme il est très rare d'en voir.
Quel talent !
Great enjoyed it and very impressed
Aha, the answer to my previous question. Excellent as usual.
Very neat done, hat off. 👍
I like your skills, ideas and sense of humor. Bravooooo...
Thank You :)
Today I'm facing with the same problem. I have to replace the broken jewel fitted into a gold setting.
Fab bit of work 👏
Now this is what I call precision engineering
Haha :)
Thankyou for introducing me to Donald De Carle's book through this video. It is also very important for me that you show us the materials and pastes you use. Nice photography in this by the way. Would be cool to watch you make a balance shaft some day.
It would be great being able to make a balance staff. One and half year ago i was trying that, but later turned to the repivoting way. www.dropbox.com/s/e8qir6hrpovdgy0/2015-09-30%2014.30.08.jpg?dl=0 I will receive a lot of mixed balance staffs, hundreds of them in the upcoming days. I hope i will find the proper one next time i need it or maybe i can alter a similar one.
@@szbalogh
It should not be too difficult to turn the balance staff even with the setup you have, it will take you a bit more practice than with the watchmaker's lathe, but if you are not in a hurry who cares. Keep going!
@@DushanGrujich Since then i could make a good balance staff for another watch. I made a balance staff repivoting tool which i can turn to a pivot burnishing setup.

Brillante! Felicitaciones buen trabajo.
Wow very talented job i like you
Amazing work
Magnificent!
Thank you ;)
Omg that’s incredible
Well done! Bravo!
Wow. When he closes the jewel setting. Triumph.
I believe the music was bolero, is that right❓
great video‼️®™️ ☑️☑️
Thank you.
very very good work
Fantastic.
Stoked!
:)
very inventive.
Nicely done!
Fantastic
Kedves Szabolcs, koszonjuk a kivalo es szorakoztato demonstraciot/tananyagot.
Legelosszor is en egy kezdo, amator vagyok egy kis kezugyesseggel... Van egy szep Hampden zseboram, problemakkal. Odaig eljutottam, hogy a balance wheel-nek az also kove le van strapalva rendesen, ezert a balance wheel kotyog. Szeretnek nekiugrani a javitasnak, de nincsenek nekem cel-szerszamaim...ezert is nagyon ertekeltem a videodat. A kerdesem a kovetkezo: be lehet-e "ragasztani" az emlitett kovet sellakkal? koszonettel, Tamas
Well done, I must say!
I've seen jewels burnished in using professional tooling like watchmaker's lathe with faceplate etc with end result not looking as nearly as good as yours.
Таким способом установки камень будет стоять не по центру 100 % отсюда не точность хода часов
Good job dear friend congratulations !... 🙏🙏
Well done! Bravo!. How can you see a one millimetre jewel?
After some time one get used to it :) The microscope is only to capture the scene. I am using a loupe.
I think there is a hairline crack left on the jewel because the thickness was so small after using Dremel tool. But who cares as long as it works.... Great achievement man and congrats 👍
Where can you find this book where you took informations for tools ?
It is Donald De Carle's Practiacal Watch Repairing. Available on Libgen :)
Thank you! Master!
Please dont! I am not a master just a little hobbyist watch-butcher :)
厉害厉害！👍
Is the music Offenbach?
I saw the mighty toothpick almost at the end
I thought I was nearsighted!!!
Шариком на конце удобней камень закатывать
I'm not so familiar with Cyma movements but why do some of their movements claim to have jewels but instead have top metal studs in their places? Thank you.
To the best of my knowledge vintage and antique Cyma movements are on the upper end in quality. But there is also a chinese Cyma brand. Are they modern or old movements?
I have one watch César. Cardinal 17 jewel
This is Diamond or ??
👍🥂🥂🍾
Great footage, annoying music.
Too, too & too 😅😅
Sir, this is absolutely epic!
Amazing
Brilliant. Can you tell me, what is the brass tool that you used to shape the jewel? I'm talking about the brass tool with the diamond paste and that has a concave tip? Thank you.
Well, it is a brass wire with a concave tip :) Nothing special.
@@szbalogh you bought the wire with the concave tip? I'm sorry, I'm not very good with these things. Thank you.
@@jimmykao3355 Push the end against the proper size ball bearing and then turn it down the diameter if needed.
@@szbalogh I see ok I don't have a lathe or a Dremel, but I do have a power drill. Trying to get creative and maybe adapt your method using a power drill, using shellac to stick the gem on a drill bit.... Thank you!!!
Amazing
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Just stumbled on your channel, great stuff! The pressed in ones are easy to do but never seen the method for the older sistem, thank's for showing how it's done! And thank's for saving a Cyma, they are one of the hidden gems among vintage watches. PS: thumb's up for the improvised lathe and hand made tools, a sign of a capable and resourceful watchmaker!
