Completely agree with other commenters that this is probably the best hairspring manipulation video on KZfaq. So much more clarity than the others. Thanks for taking the time to make it.

Nice video! I am now armed and dangerous! I have botched quite a few hairsprings, but have also had them come through the bench all garbled up. I’m pretty sure I can do this! In fact, I know I can. The fact that you showed how to trace the offending coil, and then how to rectify it, was just so awesome!!! Thank you so very much!

I can't thank you enough for providing this info and examples! You make it look so easy (when it really is not at all) but armed with your knowledge and a few hours of struggle, I successfully fixed what I thought was a hopelessly deformed balance spring in a 60 year old Longines that belonged to my father. The feeling of accomplishment is awesome and I'm basking in the warm glow of beginner's luck.

Just brilliant. I am a novice at horology I have taken it up as a hobby this year 2023. I have several old watches of my late Father-in laws . I got a pocket watch working by replacing the shepherds crook my first success. However the ladies Siro watch I had taken apart cleaned and re assembled was fine until dropped the hair spring and it twisted. Armed with the knowledge from your video I am going to have a go at repairing it. Fingers crossed I will let you know. Many thanks for the very informative video. Regards Dan

Awesome. I'm glad I found your video as I am new to this hobby and about to consider tackling my first hairspring problem on a Hebdomas pin set watch. The spring is an over coil so I am hoping that I can correct what I think is one kink without throwing off the over coil. I'll probably watch your video a few more times before I try and have it up on the screen when I do. les

Very comforting video. I had a terrible accident with a pocket watch hairspring, it looked like a birds nest. I have spent MANY hours gradually getting it untangled and now it's more or less in the round and I just need to get it flat with the 180 degree rule. I never realised I had so much patience! I certainly wish I had a pair of those N0. 7 tweezers. I think I am using an old pair of fireside tongs and a broom stick (that's what it seems like!) But Christmas is coming! :-)

Fantastic and skillful work. I am an eye surgeon and was able to admire your steady hand and skill - as good as I have seen with the best surgeons. Recently retired so horology will be my new surgery to enjoy. As I noted from your video I will also be using a surgical/stereo microscope as monocular loops belong in the first half of the last century and do not provide either binocular vision/depth perception or the fine degree of vision of using both eyes. Thanks for the excellent video.

Watching how easy you manipulate the spring is very impressive. Your hand is so stable, its possible to see the spacings widen and close as you manipulate up and down the problem area. I too can see where i need to make repairs ans have saved quite a few hairsprings in my short tinkering career. I will admit however that its not quite as elegant as shown here haha but i get the job done. What appears obvious is that I need 3 things: 1. More practice 2. More tools 3. More practice with calmness in mind 😂

I have never works with a clock but I am going to start after viewing your video. the problem is that one of the clocks has the hairspring totally unsprang and out of its compartment and the other hairspring is awfully twisted, like the last one you showed. Thanks for this video it was really educational.
