Truly a masterpiece. The watch, and the restoration. 15 minutes of finely chiseled good time.

Another wonderful video. I especially enjoy getting to see your original and venerable tools, gauges, tool cases and assortment of jewels and crystals. I always enjoy getting to see where so many tools and components were made so long ago. Hope to see more very soon!

Snazzy. The dial face elegant so pretty. The internals of this Hamilton Pocket watch are the next works of art. Then the case. Then the icing on the cake all the new old stock and the beautiful tools you have Mr. Martin Of course a good heart and the best is the caring steady hands of Clockmaker James Martin. Great short video post. BRAVO

Thanks, I've always felt that the artwork on these movements should have been more visible to the owners.

I can just picture someone sending you an impossibly rare timepiece that even the most knowledgeable horologist has never seen before, and you would calmly reach for a wooden box that has enough factory parts to restore 20 of them. You are a national treasure.

Really enjoyed watching this video as always. You have inspired me to work on old clocks my self. I’m looking forward to new things to learn about. Just stopped or broken clocks I find online. Not someone’s heirloom Thanks for posting details of what not to do as well. No butcher signs here 🤠

I love seeing these old pocket watches. There's something about these pocket watches that seem wondrous and magical. Then again, you showed some clocks that make me feel the same way. I would love to look into send you a pocket watch I have made by Peoria Watch Company. I've lived in Peoria for over ten years now and a few years back bought one from eBay because I wanted piece of the towns history. Although it "functions" there's a few issues with the case and it needs a service and who knows what else. I'm afraid to ask for your rates to at least get it looked at. Probably can't afford it.

There are some expensive tools for setting jewels with great precision to get the right amount of end shake. Do you find those tools necessary, or do you adjust the end shake on a newly set jewel by trial and error? Another great restoration.
@jamesmartin5370

For friction jeweling, I use a jewelling press, it has a micrometer just under the lever to adjust end shake of jewel. For the older jewels that are set in a brass setting I use jewel collets or a jewel cement chuck to adjust end shake.

Yes. Dials on all Harward Specials were fancy dials, and this dial is in pristine condition, no hairline cracks or chips
