It was stated in the discussion of Hob costs that a different hob is needed if either the pitch or number of teeth is changed. I have always wanted a hobber because the hob is essentially a rack form tool witch means that one hob of the correct pitch will make gears of any number of teeth by changing the dia of the blank and the gear ratio between blank & hob.
This is the watchmaking video I've been searching for! I'm a beginning machinist thinking about trying to make my own movement and there are so few videos like this out there. Thank you!
Wonderful video Guys. Totally enjoyed it. As I am sure you Guys already know, a possible secondary use for your Gears could be in the Analog Calipers and Dial Indicators. They don't have as many Gears as a Watch but they are very small. I am rebuilding a couple of Calipers as we speak. Would love to see your father make a Gear the original way. Keep up the good work.

Wow!, that gear is beautiful. How can I get an apprenticeship to learn to become a watch maker. Any advice will be appreciated, this is a serious inquiry. Iam not trying to waste your time.
Because of you having your own watch brand, I presume that you are targeting the consumer who buys watches instead of buying watch parts. May be you should focus on developing your brand along with marketing your technology? May be even place more focus on brand and marketing than showcasing technology? Wish you all the best.

Love to hear artisans chatting. The magic behind the curtain. Great video. Appreciate your generosity of time.
The work you guys are doing is wonderful! More power to you - and please keep making these videos.
Another great video, I'm enjoying learning more about the technicalities/engineering that goes into watchmaking.

Why do you refer to gears, when the trade refers to them as wheels and pinions?

"Inexpensive precision"
DTI need precision gears... lot easier to make than a watch...

They were right, without the mechanical movement watch market, their products are worthless.
