Hola, soy Francisco le sigo todos los vídeos y me aportan mucho soy joyero y relojero ya jubilado, agradecerte todo lo que nos aportas y nos hace recordar muchos trabajos. Un saludo y gracias. No dejes de aportar siempre cosas nuevas.
Merci Monsieur l'Horloger pour ces belles images de restauration...🙏 Vos gestes sont précieux, ainsi que votre Savoir Faire... En ce moment un passionné d'horlogerie révise ma pocket gold Jaeger répétition minute, de 1890.... J'ai hâte de la prendre dans mes mains. Merci à vous... 💐
Thanks for the question and the really good future video idea! What you see in this video are hand levers (for removing pocket watch hands) that I bought on ebay. I modified these by thinning them down, using an oilstone (a knife sharpening stone with added drops of oil). If you don't thin them, they are too thick to use for hairsprings. You can buy expensive hairspring removers also ($70 plus is what I have seen the last time I looked). Hoped this helped!
Great clear instructional video thank you. Could you clarify and help me as to how you know the balance staff size required for this pocket watch or those in other pocket watches. Any advice would be appreciated. 👍
I have this on my list of videos to make in the future! What I usually do is take the serial number (on the back of the movement - not the case) and look it up on pocketwatchdatabase.com. Then you find the grade and model number (you will have to use the search bar on the site). You can then do a google search and find the part number/size, etc. You may also want to purchase a book "The illustrated manual of American Watch Movements" This is how I reference all of my parts. www.jewelerssupplies.com/illustrated-manual-of-american-watch-movements-620.020.html . Hope this helps! Thanks for watching!
I have a materials book from Robbins and Appleton for the American Waltham Watch Co 1885 but does that other book cover all American pocket watches. I am in the UK and will look out for that book. Thank you for your reply and help. 👍
great video! What staking set is that by the way? Im keeping an eye out for one but all the vintage ones are in really bad condition with rust and missing stakes and such. Any suggestions as to where i could find a good set?
I have a C&E Marshall Watchmakers Staking Set. I was blessed to get a REALLY good one on ebay many many years ago. Have you searched for anything on restoring old staking sets?
Great instructional video! I have a used staking set and discovered that one of the punches has a broken-off pivot in it. Do you have any advice for how to get that out?
Hello, I have in your videos you use Marshall's staking tools. You have also mentioned K&D's set as well. In your opinion do you feel one is easier to use than the other? Also you mentioned "invertor", if I have that right in your Marshall set. Are all sets invertor set or is that a particular characteristic of a set? Thanks
It think both staking sets work well. The K&D does seem to have more parts to it .My understsnding is the early staking tool sets were not invertor type. Once the invertor type came out all the major staking tool makers started making them.
Yes I did! I did not show it on the video - thanks for this question because it is a reminder that I need to be more detailed on each video! Thanks for watching!
Excellente vidéo, Merci pour votre partage, il m'arrive de refaire l'axe cassé avec une aiguille que je détrempe pour la tournée l'ajusté et l' incérée dans l'arbre que j'ai au préalable percé , ce n'est pas facile a faire sa demande énormément de patience , sa ce réalise pas trop mal en faite , au plaisirs
@@myhobbiesarenotcheap oui toute a fait , je perce le pivot pour refaire l,axe cassé , je perce a main levé, il faut au préalable aplanir avant de centré le forét et surtout huiler, le début est assez dur l'acier est trempé en surface , aprés sa va super bien , j'insère et colle a la cyano et reprend la piéce pour l'adaptation , remontage et ok
@@myhobbiesarenotcheap J'ai vu cela ce faire sur une vidéo youtube , je me suis lancé et sa ce fait super bien !,j'en est parlé a un horloger qui a maintenant 75 ans il ne l'a jamais fait lui non plus !!
@@brunom5333 Wow! I think I have seen that done.. but can't remember the details. I remember that I was thinking that it was amazing! TH-cam videos are great, aren't they? (I am glad you are watching mine too!).
I did - but didn't show it. .. I am working on improving showing everything. I am obviously not there yet. Thanks for watching and thanks for pointing this out!!
Great tutorial video! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and craft.
Thank you for watching!!

Great video. You just showed the difference between a master watchmaker and one just beginning his career.
Good Video. Thanks. Are those hand levers you're using to remove the hairspring or special tools just for the hairspring?

@@alantinker9879 You are welcome! Yes, it covers all of the major watch companies! It is a pretty thick book!

I have one that has a broken pivot stuck in it to I’ve tried everything I can think of and it is still stuck in it.

Did you make reference marks on the balance wheel to put the table and hairsping back on in the same place?
Yes I did! I did not show it on the video - thanks for this question because it is a reminder that I need to be more detailed on each video! Thanks for watching!

Thank you for watching! My french translator "google" is not working so well on this translation. Are you turning the pivot down with a lathe?

Usually the balance hole jewel gets cracked upper and lower jewels should be checked .
I agree! I did check those under my microscope and they were fine. Thanks for watching!
Didn't check for end shake when test fitting
