Nice, challenging work!

I have a lot of work to do!

I could watch this all day

Hi, thank you very much for the great video. I have learned a lot again. I didn't know that I could do this on a glass plate (I didn't want to damage the balance spring so I always set the balance on the small wirst watch cushion but on glass it's great, thank you very much. I use the same pair of tweezers Dumoxel N°7 like you sad in the video they are curved & don't get in the way(In the beginning I tried with N°5 but it was to difficult to handle for me). The tools would be good what you had there. I'm only a slightly advanced layman. I started with an old broken balance spring & it took me a long time to do half of it back then & still does today, but it's better used with two N°7 tweezer &, I also use sometimes the N°5 but rarely. If the balance spring forms a horizontal tangent when viewed from the side with the layers of hairspring & nothing protrudes at the end, I know that I have succeeded in straightening the balance spring at the end of the work. I was able to learn a lot here & thank you. For you & your family stay healthy & happy.

Super kalm voice

Brilliant explanation of one of the most frustrating tasks to try and do when watch bashing! Thank you for putting this out there! Now to make some picky thingys ...... and get a pair of number 7's.

Це є гарно , дякую 😊❤

This is very satisfying

Really interesting lathe work, thank you for sharing it.👍

I had smimillar problem with broken steam stucked in the crown. Crown was with telescope and spring inside crown tube (diver) and I tried to work this out the same way but I did not succeed. Ended up in purchasing new crown. 😂

Thank you for another interesting video, best regards, Kamil

Fantastic video, man. Extremely helpful. Thanks for taking the time to make it!

I think you have to be ambidextrous to fix a hairspring. While my right hand tweezer is trying to fix a problem in a hairspring my left hand tweezer is messing up another area of it.

Props👏

Thank you very much for this most valuable hairspring repair course I have seen on KZfaq ever!!!

Hi this gay is magic whid the work is doing this is a art

Wow! Excellent work

What the student should have done is a technique that when you have a screw that will not come out, you turn it the opposite direction, in kind of a back and forth manner, hoping to break it away at the threads, and then removing it. If the student would have done that, they might have discovered that they were turning it the wrong way, when the screw started turning in the direction that they thought was the tightening direction. It might sound counterintuitive, tightening it when it is stuck, but at times it will dislodge it.

I would say that you have a good assortment of extra screws. I wonder how long it would take a person to look through all of those screws to find a replacement?

What a wonderful work you did on this restoration. You deserve more views, but thank you for sharing.

Здравствуйте, расскажите как сделать прозрачный напильник.

Donde compro esa rueda para hacer los dientes es que necesito hacer ruedas, 😊 para mis relojitos

I would like to fix the balance of my rolex, could you fix it?

Can you help me with a rolex balance?

Bravo vous êtes un génie, la plus difficile réparation dans une montre c'est le spiral(mainspring), merci bcp on a appris tellement de trucs pour tenter de réparer cet outil qui ressemble à un monstre.

Excellent, all doubts clear as a learner and beginner. Thanks master.

Great video. Putting some soap on it will reduce the scale when hardening.

Impresionante! Si no lo veo ,no lo creo

Hello, I own exact the same watch, with the same problem. Is there a way to make such a gear without owning a gear cutting instrument? Can I buy such a gear?

Lovely watch

Thanks so much, this will really help me in my work, have a mainspring i need to sort out!

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.

Absolutely loved it…..on a different line…. How much error the last one would retain as the result of many plastic deformations imposed to correct it. Please don’t mind if its a foolish question to ask.

impresionante. Good job.

On my watch the bow is very loose. Should the screw be tightened up? It's an 1825 sterling silver English case.

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!

Hola amigo, me gustaria saber si tienes un video completo de como hacer esos micropiñones para acoplarlo despues a otro eje de metal, seria muy amable e interesante de tu parte, saludos desde Peru.

You are like a god to me or even better, seen how you did that ballence on 18:20 it's a shock... pro... Thanks for this manual very much

I work often with a .5mm drill bit, never thought id see an almost .3mm pivot being made after the relevant hole being made. As i also work with small things😂 hobby model trains. Very interesting the tools used, great video thanks for showing

Очень полезное видео. Спасибо!

Great video!

Trying to buy one of these, I just had a quick look at the watch last week. The case is in pieces and I'm not sure if anything is missing or broken as I didn't expect to be offered the watch and was unprepared. I was only expecting to buy the coins and bullion in the estate then he started showing me pocket watches some were nothing special and a few like this one were special. I hope they will be mine before the end of Feb.

Carbide micro drills are 3.2mm shank. It works well to break them close to the end of the flutes and regrind. Also works well for making centering drills. Would not recommend using full length micro drills. My setup is a boley pivot tool in the compound slide of a 350mm lathe with a 8.75 binocular microscope. Tungsten micro drills are available down to 0.1mm. WD40 is the best cutting fluid I've found with a 000 sable brush. Just keep breathing and zone in. Plan out distractions.

Magnificent procedure and an excellent result.

Wow you make that look obvious and easy, Im not a watchmaker but this is going to be incredibly useful in repairing old meters Thank you

Amazing! Thanks!

I wish you would do some more videos

But will it blend?
