A few years ago, I started my journey in watchmaking after watching how a seasoned watchmaker repaired an A.Schild 1931 movement. Since then I have been learning all the intricacies of this legendary trade in my spare time and practising with faulty movements.
My passion for horology is not just a business endeavour. It is a tribute and love for this trade and the ingenious watchmakers who lived centuries ago. Mechanical timekeeping is both an art and an engineering feat. There are very few examples around us where you can hold a technological device with more than 400 years' worth of improvements. When you study its principles, all the gears and complications, you can feel all the legacy and the ingenuity of the human race in your hands.
Yes, parts of the design of the movemnet is inspired by Seiko's 7009A movement (include the magic lever). In fact the minute wheel I substituted come from that very Seiko movement.
Im right handed. Id rather wear the finger cot on my right hand-ring finger, and not in the pointer finger.. So i can comfortably rest my ring finger on the movement.. It adds steadiness and a little bit faster...
Thanks for the video. Love Cymas. Appreciate the cap jewel for the escape wheel, the way the balance jewel was kept in place, the yoke spring. Nice changes to the “standard” design. Btw, how do you ensure that your lid to your one dip doesn’t get stuck? Have a similar weighing bottle and the ground glass edges are too sticky. Don’t really want to add oil to the edge of the lid. Thanks!!!
Hello, thank you for watching the video. Indeed the movement has some touches of quality and interesting decisions here and there. Exactly in the places you mentioned. I've never had the issue you reported with the Lubeta bottle.
Skeletonized watches aren’t for everyone, but I like them. This one has Seiko’s magic lever winding mechanism, but I believe either Seagull or Hanzhou made these movements starting in the late 2000’s, calibre number CH-2189. I have a watch with this movement in it with a few additional features like day date and 24 hour dials
Thank you for the info. I did not find the model number engraved in the movement mainplate like in many other brands. Nice to know that you narrowed it down!
@@jesusthewatchmaker I've heard it's a common failure on these. I think it can be avoided by hand-winding only minimally, and if the case has a screw-down crown it's a bonus if the crown & stem allow you to screw down the crown without winding the watch.
