Beautiful work, and you did a lovely job with the filming too! It's always a pleasure to see these wonderful old American pocket watches brought back to life -- they're truly gems of a bygone era. Looking forward to the next one! 🙏

I could see the pallet fork moving at 24:50 before you put the balance in. Lol All good. Nice video. I always take auto focus off, then you wont have the camera fight to focus all the time. Justa friendly tip. Cheers

Nice work. I am working on the same model Hamilton. I had to replace a lower balance jewel that was cracked. I found a replacement on Cas-ker. One thing I do differently is assemble the train and make sure it all spins freely before installing the pallet.

How do you know which direction to fit the mainspring into the barrel? Is it possible to fit it upside down?

Thanks for the tip on the oil purchase, it just saved me a small fortune and when you're first starting out on this hobby it can get quite expensive getting all the equipment together. Now I need to get the courage to start on my first practice movement. :-)

Thanks for sharing. I agree, the end result of the assembly and oiling need NOT be a success in that the watch runs perfectly or even at all for the video to be valid. Nice job, and very nice watch.. Separate setting levers of course were common on railroad watches because having the proper time was so important for the person working on the railroad that they could NOT take a chance that the time would accidentally be changed during the winding process.

First time watching the video, sir, and around 22:00 work for word I said it right along with you about scooting the magnet across the floor.

For a search magnet, I use a harbor freight magnet that you use to hold tools. It is a long strip. I mounted it to a piece of wood and added a wood dowel as a handle. drag it across the floor and usually it finds parts you lost weeks ago but not what you are currently looking for.

To find parts i use a bergeon sheet with magnets, made for the purpose, if that fails i send in the robot wacuumer, it usually finds the little bugger, sometime it finds a part from an erlier drop😂

I'm thinking the collar on the main spring winder is at the wrong end and intended to keep the shaft from moving away from the hub side of the tool.
@myhobbiesarenotcheap
8 ай бұрын
After reading your comment, I did the research and see why I struggle with this so much. The collar should be on the other end - actually there should be TWO lock collars on it, to help hold the winding shaft in place snugly, to provide precise control during winding. Thank you so much for sharing! As a hobbyist, I share what I have experienced, but am so happy to learn new things!

No Worries we're all in this together. Let me know if you are looking for another collar. Four eyes are better then two
