Ce mouvement est vraiment magnifique, avec ses ressorts qui semblent être faits sur mesure, à la main, et toutes ces cames sur un chrono d'époque à colonne, oui une très belle machinerie, dans les mains d'un Maître, qui lui redonne vie.... Merci Monsieur ⌚🖐️

The movement is very well preserved indeed. Carefully machined springs are much more aesthetically pleasing indeed.

I just wanted to take a moment to say how amazing your video was! I was really impressed with the quality of the footage, the editing, and the overall presentation. You did a great job of explaining the topic in a clear and concise way, and I learned a lot from watching your video. I also really appreciated the way you made the video engaging and entertaining. You kept my attention throughout the entire video, and I never felt bored or lost. I would definitely recommend your video to anyone who is interested in learning more about the video.

Beautiful watch mate and of course a great movement I'm a big fan of. One important tip for you though, when you remove the driving wheel use a flat piece of metal underneath it so that your presto tool has something to rest on and push against when you remove it as you seriously risk bending the extended pivot. The gap between the bridges is too large so the presto tool needs that support on both sides 👍🏼

Lovley mouvement. I always try to teach french how to say Jaeger-LeCoultre. Obviously i dont need to say anything about LeCoultre, but Jaeger. Now in german the to letter a following e, ae, that is the old way to soell ä. In Germany they have an old way to stell things and a new way. So ae is ä. To help you pronounc Jaege, think Jäger. For example used in the famous german bevrige, Jägermeister. Jäger-Meister. Hunter and Master. Chasseur et Maitre. So if you simple say Jäger-LeCoultre, you are spot on😊 Good luck. Great video tx for shearing

Gorgeous watch, great job! Great spot regarding the teeth engaging too much and broken screw, it’s these things that wake me watch!

Great video on the servicing of a wonderful watch. It is just a pity that it does not have a see-through case-back as the movement is truly spectacular. Glad you put on a stylish strap as the metal one did not fit this beauty at all. 👍👏👌!

0:50 dont throw this strap to the bin (keep it in the watch box), one day the will be back in fashion (in 2142 or so 🤣) such a beauty 😍 (the movement of course... not the strap 😅) 15:25 ... fortunate its on both sides, one side only is much more risky (already tried 🥴) 39:48 ... these adjustments ... 39:54 they take my time 😁 45:54 ... interesting : minute counter is 45min 🤔 (may be a reason why ?) 51:30 ... speed-up "on the other side" is also hypnotic 😍 u must try when movement is open 😉
