This time I do a complete restoration of a pocket watch made in England in the 1890s; towards the end of the Victorian era. These old English Lever Pocket Watches were built like tanks and the more heavily jewelled versions capable of keeping pretty good time. Even this example I have manged to get to with about 30 seconds a day which makes it a very useful practical tool. After working on so many small watches recently this felt like I was doing a clock restoration!
As I say at the end of this video .... if you are not subscribed, then you should! It's free and it will help ensure you do not miss my future uploads.
This is the first video where I use my new Head Up Display to succinctly impart information about the watch being restored. I would be very interested to hear what you think about this innovation.
I do not do much talking in this video leaving, for the most part, the action on screen to tell the story.
And very importantly a Big Thank You is due to Nick for giving this watch to me!

Thank you; there is much good practice to learn from your video. I have just worked on two English lever watches and replacing the pallet fork in each was very difficult. Knowing no better. I used tiny slivers of sellotape to hold them in place and then removed the tape when, eventually I got them in place.

Thank you Mike. Meditation I have found most helpful as a practice for controlling 'post excitement jumpyness'... the discipline of watchmaking is a natural wholesome tangent due to its almost meditative nature and need for calmness and because daily practice is required to get good at it the 'practice' part of the process almost takes care of itself driven by a tangible need to improve. A more flexible and tolerant mind is I think a likely outcome. So I figure you are on a good path sir and I wish you all the very best with it. Richard

Thanks, watching your video and seeing the mechanism, I recognized it as being the same as the one I have, from my G.G Grandfather, by the hallmarks, the case is dated 1876 made in Coventry UK and purchased in Sydney NSW around that time, they obviously made a generic watch mechanism, and the faceplates were customized. It worked for about 8 hours before stopping again, it kept good time whilst it was working. I need to find a specialist like yourself to clean it. I'm guessing it would be costly due to the time involved.

Hi Richard, Really enjoying your video productions, they keep on getting better..good luck with the subs climbing..and breaking through the 100k barrier.. I’ve picked up some interesting techniques, like disarming the mainspring, replacing the pallet fork and cleaning the case, not to mention surgery and time travel! Just waiting for the dreaded covid to leave us in piece so we can get back on track..looking forward to getting my sub ticking again..👍
