Күн бұрын

This Mappin & Webb goliath quarter repeater was non-functional in every way - it could not wind, could not set the time, could not run and could not repeat the time. There were several broken and missing parts, none of which I could buy replacements for (including a wheel with missing teeth!). I didn't know it when starting out, but this eventually became THE most complex and challenging restoration I’ve completed to date.

Excellent job as always and wonderful video. Thank you for the work. If you are up for another repeater challenge. Let me know. This new one would only be a clean / service. It’s a beauty that escaped Austria before the Second World War. All the way from Argentina. You do amazing work with ease.

I am an amateur watchmaker myself and I have always hesitated tackling extra complicated mechanisms or much older hand made watches where no 2 parts ever fit from one to another, I.E. Verge Fusee watches. I have never delved deeply enough into the hobby to feel motivated to invest in the very expensive specialty tools required to perform the necessary fabrication and repairs. Your work is stellar and your presentation during the video is informative and entertaining. You have a loyal follower of your channel.

Thank you! It truly is a rabbit hole in terms of the tooling needed. Anything is repairable, assuming one has the tools to make the new part, which is usually the case and necessity for time pieces this old. Sometimes it’s hard to justify the investment required.

@@csspinner you are correct! That's why I'm grateful for American pocket watch makers for championing standardization between models. All parts from the same model are completely interchangeable with each other. Perhaps someday I will invest more into my tools because I'm really fascinated by Fusee watches and would love to dive into them. You may have seen this, but this gentleman fell the furthest down that tool rabbit hole. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/n52pdpWmltXGdGw.htmlsi=54JgqHGhqt11UWeJ

So to see all its complications, and the repair techniques and special tools, was a treat. I had to laugh at the size of the thing, and how typical watchmaker tools don't "measure up" (sorry).

I have always enjoyed old watches and clocks. The worst part of my love is that I don't have the money to get what I would love to have. I am a Maintenance Manager of at a box manufacturing plant and at time I have to make the parts that have been damaged. Like you, I don't have all of the nice equipment to do the repairs and I am forced to use hand tools and a few pneumatic hand held cutters or sanders. I have always gotten a lot of enjoyment when I succeed and bring the equipment back online.

I followed this succesful teeth-and watch repair with great interest. My late dad, being a retired tool-and die-maker was asked by his friend, a watchmaker at end-eighty's to repair such a messing wheel for a standing clock. His procedure had a lot of simularities with yours, just all new teeth were filed by hand. Everybody became happy too with that clock alive again! Great to see your careful working with all those splendid tools. Many happy moments for you!

Wow this video was super mesmerizing, and that hour went by very quickly. If it was 2 hours I also would've watched it. It was fascinating to see how the hour/15min repeater worked. I now have a good idea of it's basic construction. For repairing the teeth on the minute wheel I expected you to use either a laser welder or a tig microspot welder, but those are expensive specialized machines. I didnt expect filing the teeth by hand would've worked. That is some skill👍 That brass toothsmoothing machine is beautiful. A very nice video.

Awesome! I have no skills for this kind of work (basically born with 2 left thumbs 😉) - but I've always been fascinated by the fine/meticulous engineering that goes into both classic and modern watches...so getting to see an expert bring one of these timepieces back to life is always a pleasure! The whole video was excellent - but I think my favorite parts were watching the restored balance wheel immediately start up when dropped into place, the entire segment demonstrating how the repeater mechanism worked and how you adjusted its sound, that wonderful rounding-tool whose overall design/look was like a work of art in its own right, and finally - of course - the end where we get to see the watch fully working once again and making those beautiful chimes. This was so very well done...thanks for sharing the journey with everyone...cheers!

Superbe travail merveilleuses explications merci de préserver ce patrimoine, qui émerveille autant sur les mécanismes des horloges que sur les outils pour les réparer.

Wow what a time piece, supersized pocket watch, the Goliath naming you gave it definitely fits it. Love the chimes on the watch, I think that part is my favorite from this time piece. I have only seen 2 hand watches that have this similar feature /complication. Very cool. Super job on the hour wheel reconstruction, you make it look so easy. Thanks for the video!
