"Even good old Albert Einstein had a couple of Longines himself back then, even though time was relative." This is the content we come here for! Bravo.

“Service marks from legends of the past” .. Beautiful how you admire and honor those long forgotten craftsmen, elevating them to the status of heroes.

Sometimes I come back to this channel months after watching the videos just to appreciate how positive all the comments are. Mr. Nekkid you have spawned a really positive and upbeat fan base. Thanks for your service Sir, I’m a proud member.

I know almost nothing about watches but I was mesmerized by this man's gigantic expertise, his humility, and his humanity. He is a lesson for us all.

The fact your ego is so in check that you don’t bother to include your mark inside the watch is awe inspiring. I can’t thank you enough for these videos. Many blessings on you.

One more reason to be thankful for the internet and KZfaq and for all the generous people who share their experience with us.

this fragile thing is still working since 1922. beautiful and respectful work

My grandmother used to have a jewellery shop including a watch repair service. I like to watch the master repairing watches . But he wouldn’t let me near! He was worried I might steal his craft! You are most generous. Thank you

'Even though time was relative'... The commentary itself is enough to watch the entire video.

The understatement of this Longines is incredibly charming.

Out of many many watches you have done this simple, elegant and well made watch is one of my favourites. A thing of beauty and restored with immense skill

Well personally i think those long forgotten craftsmen would look down and be proud to have your name next to there's, you my friend are an absolute legend.

Watching this guy’s videos actually has an immensely calming effect on me. It’s just wonderful - and real.

A great class from a great teacher... I'm not a watch expert, but both my grandfather and great grandfather were watchmakers... I'm just an admirer... Kudos!

You have new life back into the old boy. We should all look that good at one hundred years old. Thank you.

I havent even worn a watch I about 15 years, but I find your videos so relaxing. Thank you do sharing your talent.

Today I decided to watch your video instead of the morning news. Unlike after watching the news, I now feel upbeat and well informed. Thank you, my brother! Also very much enjoy your interactions with your small philosopher. He is a real delight! You bring a good deal of joy and peace to these troubled times.

I know it’s something special when you open the watch and you say wow!. That speaks volumes

This movement is truly a thing of great beauty. Those separate little bridges on the power train form a design that looks almost organic, like the segments of a sea shell creature or a flower maybe. Always a great honour to work on antique movements, knowing that those who created such things of majesty are long gone from this Earth. We are merely the present day custodians of their beautiful legacy. You Sir, did a great job here and I believe that because of what you did this little watch will be ticking away on this planet after our time is long gone too. Peace.. ✌

To disassemble a watch that old need enormous knowledge and Confidence, something like going to war, salute to the Watchmaker and the Restorer.

I am in awe of the person or persons who, back in the age, designed this watch movement, created the incredibly small fitting with such precision.

Just discovered you. I didn't realise how absorbing watch servicing is! You brought a memory back from the early 1980s, when at an engineering exhibition in Glasgow there was a company exhibiting microscopic screws which were for the watchmaking industry. They had 3 turns and were 3 thousands of an inch across. Without a microscope they just looked like dust. I was impressed...

As always Joe, It`s been an absolute pleasure to have watched a master work at his craft!

Restoring history. This is how watchmaking should be. The detailed steps, so intricately applied makes it the finest finish.

A nice little back story, disassemble, clean, and reassemble. Relatively simple and Bob's your uncle. (Not to mention considerable craftsmanship, a good sense of humor (or humour) and hours of inspired film editing.) As always, thanks for sharing.

Once again you have brought back to life a magnificent example of superb engineering! Thank GOD there are still people around with such passion to restore such things of beauty! I wish i had the skill to do the same!

I am an electronics technologist working with broadcast equipment, but I find these repairs and reassemblies fascinating! Thank you, sir!

This channel is worthy of it's own playlist.

What fascinates me is the beauty of the internal components and design. Something only the manufacturer and restorer can enjoy and appreciate. People typically don’t take apart their watch and marvel at the engineering….

Nothing better than coming home from a hard days work and having a new video from this blessed soul Mr. Nekkid. Cheers my good man.

Without a doubt one of my favorite matchmaking channels. His light hearted humorous personality is one of a kind.

I always hit play on long clips with skipping along in my mind. Never skipped on this channel. It's worth every single minute.

I've just recently found your channel and have watched you restore several time pieces. I can without a doubt say that you are gifted in what you do. Your mark is worthy in my opinion. I must say that this is my favorite time piece that you have done so far. My grandfather had one just like it and this video reminded me of him. Thank you for that. Keep doing what you do. Because of this video I'm going to try and find this particular watch and have it restored if needed. You are brilliant with your skills.

I’m watching a genius master craftsman service a masterpiece all the while sadly reminiscing a about when my sons were young and wanted to help me do every task. Such warm memories.

I am really amazed to see, how he is tearing off the smallest parts one by one and remembering each and every tinny little parts back to the original position. And in the process of reassembling all the parts to the watch into motion and functional. Really a genius task to accomplish such a job requiring passion, experience, knowledge and skills.

I have no intention of ever cleaning or restoring a watch, but watching your videos and listening to your calm, reassuring voice, is a pleasure.

Your new camera is worth the wrath of the accountant! Another job well done. The movement looks more like a pocket watch than a wristwatch. It's lovely when craftsmen care enough to decorate parts that most will never see.

The mirror-like finish and plain spotless back case, so lovely.

I'd like to say two things: First, it was an absolute joy watching, no pun intended, a master at work. And second, the history of the Industrial Revolution and the advance it made in the lives of the working class would not be complete or even possible without the watchmaker. Long before CNC tools the watchmaker needed ultra precise fine parts and that need pushed technology to make watches possible -- that development was crucial to every thing that came after. The products that were core to the early Industrial Revolution included: sewing machines and textile equipment, farm implements and hand tools, guns and watches and clocks. Of all these products the watch was an order of magnitude more significant in pushing technology.

Another beautiful restoration. I love the way you left the face, It looks old but dignified like a fine wine. And I beg to differ. Your are worthy to inscribe your name as a repairer but I respect and agree not to scratch the watch. I repair and service antique clocks and its always a joy to see the service marks. I once found a service date of 1819!!! Makes me so happy to see something old still perform as intended. You do outstanding work. Thanks for the videos and please don't stop.........

Those classic words used in every generation without fail. I didn't do it, and It broke by itself 😂👍 Keep up the good work watchmaker and son

Such a lovely old timepiece. Glad it reached your loving care before it fell into disuse and was sold for parts alone. Thank you my friend. Peace to you as well.

Your client is lucky in two ways. One, to actually own such a watch and two, to find such an accomplished restorer as your good self. A watch I would be proud to own myself.

Look at all that beautiful brushed patterning on the movement underneath the balance & the dial... such fine & purely decorative work which is only ever seen & appreciated by the various watchmakers over time. Gorgeous! 👌

I would say that your name is certainly worthy to appear next to the old masters. A beautiful restoration!!

I've mentioned before that my dad was a watchmaker. In the early days he fixed clocks and would bring them home to test the timekeeping. Many of them chimed, and lots were cuckoo clocks. You can imagine what 12 noon was like!

I am so glad the Algorithm suggested your channel. Everything from your calm soothing voice and excellent commentary to the exceptional craftsmanship, precision and patience you demonstrate. Love the channel!

Your Mark needs to be in these watches! That is the history of the watch! You should want to be in the history of every watch that you restore and that goes through your shop. Plain and simple! You not leaving your mark in the watch is taking something from the watch!!!

Love how you tell the stories of the watch and brand ! Sales consultants these days they just know nothing other than repeating 'sapphire glass,automatic,water resistant'.

That watch is glorious, a wonderful piece that deserves to be worn and loved

There is such beauty in the precision of those watches. What leaves me in awe, is the precision of the individual parts. The makers of those pieces must have been the finest microscopic parts makers ever.

Your videos serve as documentation of your service. No need to blemish the caseback. Love what you do!

Beautiful work. Love these old watches from the 20s, 30s, and 40s. Glad you could inject some new life into it for someone else to enjoy.

Beautiful work. Long after you're gone, after all of us are gone, this gorgeous Longines watch will still be ticking away....

I'm blown away that they had the precision machinery to make such fine and precise parts in the 1920s.

I've been binge watching all yr videos. For some reason, this was an especially lovely vid. Maybe it's because the watch had such an elegant movement. But all of them do... thank you for making these videos. They're like a peaceful respite from all the noise outside.

I love hearing the history of the company and watch design. Your work is amazing. Thank you for sharing.

What a spectacular timepiece. Thank you for bringing this back to life!

I really enjoy your subtile humor and the way you handle your family dynamic ,,,"WELL DONE"

You give the watches the reason to Live again They in turn give the proud owner A reason to Smile Thank you for these wonderful videos with the cool sense of humor in your narration Thank you youtube .

A true artist has humor...."Like his uncle" LMAO! Hats Off!

I wish I could watch and listen to you restore any of my watches. I love everything about this channel

I do not know much about watch repair,but I do hv one longines.I simply love it.Now I will value it much more because of you inputs.God bless you.

Fantastic. Quite impressive skill. 1 in a million could down that kind of perfect restoration. I “watched” the whole video. “Attention to detail” is the only descriptor. Thank you.

Looking at the movement of this watch is like looking at a work of art. Beautiful restoration Nekkid Watchmaker.

This is the first time I have seen your video, it was very interesting and in particular, I enjoyed all of the details that were shown. I had never seen a watch taken apart before, it was more intricate than I ever imagined. You have great patience to work with such tiny screws.

Bro just wanted to say a massive thank you for your content. not only did you restore the watches, but my faith in humanity. one love, keep up the great work and the Epic Commentary, please.

Your commentary is as interesting and entertaining as the work you do on the video. You patience is admiral as well. It amazes me that such precision could have created such a magnificent device SO MANY YEARS ago.

Fascinating! I'd never seen a watch stripped to its bare components before.

Welcome back. We've missed you. I know, I know, quality takes time. : ) Keep up the good work

This gives you an insight into the class of people back in the days. Not flashy at all. So simple and yet so elegant. A timeless masterpiece.

I have no knowledge of watchmaking or repairing, but got huge satisfaction from seeing a Master Craftsman at his work. Thanks.

This is a great video. Your skills are admirable, even if you don't think so. Your before and after pictures speak for themselves. I wouldn't mind seeing another "how to" video for different models. I don't find them boring or repetitive. There is something so peaceful and uplifting watching you care for the parts and put these beautifully useful pieces of everyday wear back together again.

a meticulous job requires high precision. Nice job

Makes a change to watch a repair video by someone really knowledgeable while not full of ego or some drama. A nice understated quality movement too.

Retired from the Industry my friend. Lovely and beautiful memories watching you video's

Mesmerising video. Beautiful job, I would’ve thought that was an ugly-ass watch but the attention you give to it made me entirely change my mind and I must say now, it’s a stunning timepiece, stylish, charming and charismatic. The wearer of such a watch would command respect, no doubt.

What a beautiful watch, so well made. It's amazing to see them when you have completed restorations on those mechanical marvels.

Kid's are priceless! It broke by itself, hysterically innocent.

This is one of my favorite restorations. This watch is just so cool and the transformation back to new is over the top ... Amazing!

I stopped wearing my watches decades ago. Now that I’ve seen a few of your videos, I’ll think I’ll wear some of them again.

Always a pleasure to hear your kind words and see your skills, good work!

I like the mix of skill, humour and potted history. Keep it up.

Sir, watching you work takes me back to my childhood. I use to clean the windows of my friends father's watch and jewelry store. I was about eleven when started. He was an watchmaker schooled in Germany but when they moved to the U.S. they choose a small farming community in the central valley of California to live. There wasn't much demand for the making of the fine watches there so he mostly just did repairs and sold jewelry. After washing the windows of his storefront my friend and I would take our hard earned wages and go to the newspaper shop to buy comics and candy. We would have about two hours to kill before we got our ride home. My friend had no interest in what his father did for a living but I was fascinated by watching him repair the quality watches that came in to his shop. He saw that I took an interest so he tried to teach me his craft, as much as you can to a eleven year old. I didn't learn wuch about watch repair but it left me with an appreciation of what a fine watch was. When I was twenty one I bought myself a Rolex GMT-MASTER stainless steel and eighteen karat gold watch. It took me two years to pay it off but today fifty three years later it is my most prized possession! Watching your video's takes me right back to my childhood and the happiest times of my life. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for what you are doing here!

It’s amazing that you can wind up the mainspring while talking about the evolution of synthetic lubricants at the same time.

Silver has such a unique luster too it when highly polished, which was beautifully shown here. Fantastic as always!

I have been marathon-watching your videos since I discovered your channel. I believe I've watched every single video at least 3 or 4 times now and I am still amazed and fascinated with your skills, humility, humor (I do enjoy your funny comments, jokes and even your singing) and inspiring parenting. Thank you so much for existing. The internet and the world are better places because of you.

The rebuild of this watch is remarkable. You are very good at what you do. That is an understatement.

A simple, beautiful watch. Classic, and now your work is part of its story.

I think one of my favorite parts of this channel is the dialogue between family members

It must be amazing to restore these old watches, and repair stamps from legends and differing mechanism. You really admired this one. Fantastic, exquisitely restored; what a joy for the owner. Xxxx

10:46 😂 “....I never broke it...it broke by itself!”

Your voice and accent gives me “comfort vibes”….

I always find watching these repair videos very satisfying. Pardon the pun.

It came out transformed into a timeless classic. Nice work and very enjoyable commentary, incl. when Junior is ‘helping’!

I love how the gorgeous patina was kept on the dial!!!

Another beautiful video! The technical aspects are very interesting and a real education for those lucky enough to do this for a part of their living if not for their full livelihood! May God bless you and your family as you continue your beautiful work!

the commentary is the best part, keep it up, point out the mute feature to the haters

Very nice servicing and presentation. I have a Molnija pocket watch, with 3603 movement. I did not service it myself, as I do not have the tools. There is something personal about mechanical watches. No electricity needed. No battery replacing needed. And I designed and 3D printed a simple stand for the pocket watch, where I place it when I am at home and at work. So I have it always on my desk. No need to click anywhere, to touch anything, just a simple look and I instantly know the time.
