- This Vintage Jaeger LeCoultre is in bad condition and it needs some love and care. I bought this vintage watch on eBay. I love the JLC watches and especially their calibers. This one is equipped with the 812 caliber. Lets see if I can improve this beautiful Jaeger LeCoultre vintage watch

Simple and elegant. Beautiful work.
Thanks Dean
The assortment of watches to fix is just out of this world. They do have one thing in common. They are all beautiful. Thank you.
Thanks Serge. This is something I love with watches. It is the variety and it never gets boring
Perfect another lovely restoration. Keep well from New Zealand 🇳🇿
👍
Another fantastic video. I love this style of watch. Something about the seconds hand at six o'clock position....... I just like it.
Thanks for sharing!
Beautiful watch, brilliant servicing work and very enjoyable to see as a video. Your choice of watches is excellent and your watch collection is expanding nicely. Bumper automatics are some of the nicest watches to wear as the movement of the rotor between the springs feels like the watch's heart beat.
I checked the 812 JLC movement on the CousinsUK website and I think that they had the 3rd wheel and stem you were after, but the wheel was mighty expensive.
Looking forward to your next watch success!! TC
Thank you Tony. Love a bumper movement fir the feel on the wrist as well. Some of the parts can be expensive on the vintage watches. I go on cousin or ebay most of the time
A really educational video in which you explain what you are doing and why. VERY enjoyable to watch and listen. Thank you. Hugh UK
Glad you enjoyed it!
On the broken wheel. I personally would like to see a link to where you get replacement parts (unless that is a trade secret). Nice work!
Mainly on cousin uk or ebay
Another great video. So enjoyable. Thank you.
Thank you so much
Wonderful as always buddy, thank you so much for sharing
Thanks for the visit
Nice job, nice result and nice video 👍👍
Thank you! Cheers!
Just tap tap tap :D Lovely work.
Thanks! 😊
Ah, a bumper! I was not expecting that when you removed the caseback. I have a sweet spot for bumpers and have 2 myself but they are not JLC 🙂 I'm typing this at 2:52 so have no idea what the end result is, but can you feel the rotor bumping when you wear the watch? Mine do, it's part of the charm.
Now to watch the video, as usual this one is gonna be good, I can feel it already.
Love the feel of a bumper movement as well on the wrist
JLC made and still makes some very classy watches. Great work as usual.
Couldn't agree more!
Another job well done! I just picked up a Jaeger-LeCoultre P469 on a French flea market a few days ago, and it's getting clear to me what the fuss is all about.
Great fleamarket find! Where there a alot of watches at the fleamarket and what was the name of it? :)
I got this one on ebay
Great work! It came out wonderful in your care. I'd love to have the chance to work on JLC someday. Such a beautiful piece!
The JLC movements are very nice to work on. I am sure you will get one
Great video. Love JLC 😍
Thanks for watching!
As always a wonderful video! Can you please share a bit more info on the special wheel you used for the brushed finish on the sides of the watch?
This is the one www.cousinsuk.com/product/flap-wheels-bufflex
God I love ur passion for this hobby!, you really do love it so much!. Great as usual, some great tools also. Well done. Adrian
Thank you very much!
Nice video as always man! I always appriciate them, just a thing to participate to the conversation: actually still today JLC use monodirectional winding rotor because they state that this type of charcing sistem is more efficient than the bidirectional one. No more the bumper rotor of course because it is not so efficient as you stated already, I hope you find this information interesting and usefull and I hope too see other JLC on gour channel!
Thank you for the information. I did not know they are still using this technology
lovely work!!
Thank you! Cheers!
Superb as usual.
Thank you! Cheers!
I enjoyed watching the video excellent work! I didn’t know that dials could be cleaned using lighter fluid is this for all dials? I’ve watched many videos regarding cleaning dials and only seen water as what’s used. Thanks for the information.
Yes it is!
Amaising. This half winding système so complicated. You dont show oiling the incablock jewel. Would be nice to see it to.
I did the oiling in the video
@@FrenchWatchCollector but I didn't see you oiling the balance rubie not saying you didn't do it but o didn't see it. I'm gone rewatch maybe I missed it.
@@FrenchWatchCollector oh yes you did 14:27 sorry, I must have missed it.
I also use your videos as an educational reference.. I'm doing well as a novice. I am experiencing difficulty placing the secondhand back on the movement.. Any tips?
Really enjoyed watching.. will continue..
What is the difficulty? Which type of tool do you use?
@French Watch Collector my difficulty is only with second hands. Applying it back onto Pinion. I'm using tweezers to get it back on.. I have a hand setting press.. you make it look so easy..
I really respect and appreciate your videos.. I'm using you as a teacher..
I love watchmaking, but it's frustrating..
I'm not giving up.. Thank you for your time and replying to my question.
@@royowens6427 find it easier to put the hands with a tweezer with bent ends. You grab it from the top so it is easier to put it on
As a beginner refitting the hands is probably my least favourite part of the process too, but not the second hand it's the other two I have more issues with. Is the problem with your magnification and what you can / can't see to get the hand over the pinion?
@@GentlemensWatchServices just need some practice. The more you do it the better you get
Bonjour. Les pièces détachées pour cette montre, sont-elles faciles à trouver? Merci
Oui elles se trouvent
Thank you for the video again. Love your passion. Question. With the mainspring it looked like the bridle was on the inside instead of outside against the barrel wall. Also the second click in the automatic section was there not a spring for it? Thank you again.
Thank you. Not sure what you mean for the barrel. For the second click the spring is on the automatic bridge
@@FrenchWatchCollector when you wound the mainspring into the winder the spring bridle did not appear to be on the outside circumference of the wound mainspring?
@@johnvaluk1401 yes it is an automatic mainspring so the end is just to create some drag inside the barrel. the mainspring never stop winding on an automatic watch compare to a manual one

Bonjour mon Horloger préféré 🖐️
Je n'ai pas compris pourquoi la glue sur le calibre ...?
À pluche
Le cadran était collé sur le calibre.
@@FrenchWatchCollector ah so ! Je comprends mieux merci
Est ce que vous trouvez facilement les pièces de rechange ? Et où ?
Oui cela se trouve en général. Je vais beaucoup sur Cousin Uk et ebay ou d'autres sites horloger
It looks like a bumper movement.
Yes it is
@@FrenchWatchCollector Another great video and a very interesting watch.
Great work as ever!. Always a treat to see effort and craft that's gone into the video as much as the watch making. I've recently started watch making too. This weekend oiling pallet jewels / escape wheel. Do you do that? Here's the method I use, gets the oil in place without splatter th-cam.com/video/0Ku3tOhe9EU/w-d-xo.html
Edit: ...ah! 9415 on your parts list, you must be doing something, would be interested to know.
Yes I oil them too. It is just difficult to capture it on the camera while looking at it
@@FrenchWatchCollector Easy for someone with 4 hands and 3 eyes, not so much for the rest of us.

Thanks steve
Êtes vous autodidacte ?
Oui je suis autodidacte
👍👏👌(🤫?)

It says Jäger, not che chean... Hunter in English, Jager in Dutch with a y sound, as in you...
That is how the brand is commonly pronounced. The guy Edmond Jaeger was a French national, so he would likely pronounce his name in a French way and not how a Dutch wants him to pronounce his name. 🙂
André Citroen had Dutch ancestors but was born in Paris. Hence 'Citroën' and not 'Citroen'. Edmond Jaeger had German ancestors, but was born in France as well. Hence the French pronunciation, that also the current CEO of the company uses. But to avoid all problems you can just say 'JLC'.
Just call it JLC and then you don't have to play fuck around with names.
People from Jaeger say it the french way so I think it should be pronounce like this
@@FrenchWatchCollector You're right. th-cam.com/video/Wc2FB32ama4/w-d-xo.html
