These watches were $24 for a key wind and $30 for a stem wind in 1883. $30 equates to $900 in 2023 money. A watch was a major expense, usually a graduation gift, to have most of your life back in that time.

If these watches were made today they would be $1000's. $900 would have been a good deal.

Fascinating video. I love a Waltham pocket watch. It gives you a great feeling pulling it from your waistcoat and flicking the lid open. I’ve just passed mine to my eldest grandson for his 18th birthday. It survived the Spanish civil war by being rolled into a woollen sock carried over the Pyrenees into France. Then through WW2 with my father. After a clean and service it still kept time within a minute a day. Your keeping a bit of history alive good for you.

I am 62 years old. I have a large wall clock that I inherited from my grandfather as a memory of him. They were made in the early thirties of the twentieth century by the "First Moscow Watch Factory" during Stalin's time. The word "first" in the name of the company here in the sense of leadership. All this time the clock was running properly, but last year it stopped. About thirty years ago I was repairing wristwatches for a good watchmaker and I found his phone number in an old address book. But even then he was old and I called with doubt. It turned out that he was still alive. But he is 92 years old, he has cataracts, and he can no longer repair wristwatches, only large watches. This wall clock has a rather large mechanism, like two palms, and he agreed to try to fix it. This watch had no jewels, only an escapement mechanism on ruby prisms, and some of the gear axles had play. But the main problem is the suspension of the pendulum on thin bending steel strips, they burst. Must be metal fatigue. The watchmaker eliminated the backlash of the axles and made a new pendulum suspension from a thin bronze strip. For the second month now, the clock coincides with the exact time signals within a couple of seconds, as if it were an electronic watch. I think this is a phenomenal result for an old mechanical watch. This man said that he started working as a watchmaker at the age of seventeen. Now he is 92 years old. That is, he has been repairing watches for 75 years. I have great respect for these people.

@@csspinner Well, I got it off eBay years ago, and it ran and kept time decently enough considering it is a ca. 1780 specimen. I really fell in love with that watch, because the whole of the rear err 'disc' (what is the english term for the main discs?) was pierced and engraved. Only the watch sometimes randomly stopped. I got it to a watch maker #1, claiming to know how to work on verge watches, and somehow the hand on the silver dial to adjust the speed ended up broken off, the watch stopped more often than ever before and now the hour and minutes hands kept vatching behind each other, stopping the watch dead. Of course, no accountability...changed watchmaker. Watchmaker #2 got to work, fabricated a simplified replacement hand, found the main spring had an old repair (broken, then riveted together). When reassembling with a 'new' spring, he managed to snap off the very tip of the balance axle (term?). He tried to make a new one, supposedly succeeded, but couldn't get it to work at all, blaming everything on the watch being super worn and nothing being in alignment, either. I know, wear and tear is a thing, but I can't help but feel the watch that was previously mostly running was effectively killed by those two guys. Now I have no watchmaker I trust, left, for my other watches, and I still feel as if I owe that little precious thing a decent repair, but who to turn to? :(

What a work of art you create. Amazing to watch. You have that expert-level knowledge. Curious if you've got a solution for recasing a pocket watch. Would love to see if that's possible today or are uncased movements not salvagable?
@csspinner
@csspinner Жыл бұрын
Thanks for the kind words! As for recasing, fortunately most pocket watches were constructed to standard sizes (there were many, but if you know the “size” you can usually just find a case for that size watch). The size rating for a pocket watch will generally mean the width, lever placement, stem hole orientation, thickness, etc is consistent- so an “18 size” pocket watch should fit in any “18 size” case. I’ve been successful buying “orphaned” movements on eBay and recasing them because of this standard in sizing. It’s far more difficult to do this for wrist watches since those movements are a lot more diverse.

I wanted to get into watch restoration after watching you channel to see if I could do it. I purchased a £20 watch tool kit and some oils. And I purchased a pocket watch from eBay that was advertised as not ticking. When I received the pocket watch and opened the back, I found that it is battery operated. Maybe that why the said "Not Ticking". Checking back on the listing it didn't have any photos of the inner workings. So beware of what you buy on eBay. Luckily I only paid just over £3 (U$5) for it, so no great loss.

Really great video thank you! I’ve never seen one with an actual key before. I suppose the minutes hand is indexed that way because the time is set using the same key? Very clever! But I also imagine the movements must have gotten quite dirty from being opened so much?

Thank you! Yes, the minute hand allows for the same key to be used to set the time. Much of the filthyness is due to the old oil migrating around the movement, attracting dust and dirt, and then drying up to form a stick, gummy film.

@@csspinner Sorry I just meant back in the day when people carried these watches, I’d assume they needed a lot more cleaning than later “keyless works” designs? My reasoning is the keyless works watches didn’t need to be opened every day to wind. It seems any pocket lint or environmental dirt would have a much easier time getting into these keyed movements(?)

Interesting work many thanks. Do you know what the case is made of please? Steel? Do you clean the parts in the middle and if so what solutions do you use?

The case is made of a solid nickel alloy. That allows it to be polished without fear of removing any sort of plating. The parts are cleaned in two stages in an ultrasonic cleaner; first in L&R 111 solution and second in IPA. The balance and pallet do not go in the IPA, however, or the solution would dissolve the shellac holding the jewels in place. So I rinse those in Naphtha instead.

Amazing job you got skills. I have a Waltham pw about half your size about same period but stem wind. Stem moves hands but doesn't wind, prob broken mainspring, will soon take to watch repair to fix and service, not sure if it's gold or not. Curious about the value when repaired. Maybe $1,000- $2,000???

I have the same watch, it belonged to my great, great grandfather. The serial number dates it back to 1863.

The stud on hairspring looked crooked . Did You check the balance jewels for cracks . When a staff is broken usually the jewels maybe damaged.
