A simple chronograph but a difficult repair...

11 ай бұрынToday we have a beautiful 1960's Aerni watch on the bench with the simple chronostop type ETA 1168 movement inside. The watch is in great visual condition but does not run. Let's fix it!
Join Stian for a full service and repair of this lovely watch, as we take a few detours into the perils of hot weather and married life!

Personally, I don’t mind whether the watch is simple or complicated. The joy of watching your videos is the explanation of your expertise in spotting then dealing with problems when they arise. I am in awe of your effortless grasp of the tiny little problems that you spot and then correct that make me admire the skill of a true craftsman at work. I do believe that mechanical watches are miracles of engineering and you, Sir, perform miracles in your simpatico understanding of them.

Hi Stian: It doesn't matter to me whether the watch is complicated or simple, because what I enjoy so much is your informative and educational commentary about how the watch works, what the parts do, what problems you find as you work on the watch, and how you resolve those problems (especially when you explain how you carry out a "repair" on a part). So this video was very enjoyable because of your thoughtful explanations of the burnishing process and adjusting the endshake.

To answer Your question, Stian: I'm happy to see elegant technical solutions to whatever problem. So I'm absolutely fine with a "simple" mechanism like this one. What intrigued me most, actually, was that they took the effort to put an anglage on the bridges and even give the movement faux chatons. Who would do this nowadays? However, I have enjoyed watching You work on more intricate complications as well and I understood them better afterwards. So just keep doing Your thing and share the projects that show something special, be it cheap or expensive, simple or complicated.

@ForestWoodworks 6 ай бұрын
I enjoy the simple ones also, maybe with day/date complication. For now it's about accessibility---the more complications, the higher the price maybe. Of course, even simple high end watches have high price tags, but since I'm scrounging low end watches right now the more simple ones you restore/service, the more content I have to learn from. But I pretty much watch all your videos anyway.

I don't mind simple or complex, i enjoy different problems being overcome with specialised or homemade tools.
@paullewis5045 11 ай бұрын
First off, nice solution to the overwound and stuck problem. That may be a first or, at least, uncommon workaround in your video string. That Aerni is a nice project and great to see it back to life. Problem solving, like the balance staff fix today, is very educational and appreciated. As to complications, it is super interesting for me to see the very complex layer cake projects resolved from beginning to end. But it can be a little overwhelming to imagine being tasked with something nearly an inch thick owning every complication known to the industry. So, one layer at a time gains the experience. Regardless, I like elegant mechanical and beautifully turned-out movements complex or simple.
