A Classic Vintage Video demonstrating the absolute beauty of a functional Mechanical Watch !! A Complex yet Informational Ethereal Exquisiteness.
Behold & get ready to be bitten by the Mechanical Watch Bug !!
(This is an old video, pre-quartz era that is why mechanical watches are referred as just watches in whole,A treat nonetheless!)

These older videos are significantly better and more informative that most of the modern ones. Thank you for uploading!

@rdvgrd6 Год назад

Because at the time they had the time

@rockabrilia Год назад

Agree. I also understood engine gearing from old video like this.

@pixelmace1423 3 года назад

This was surprisingly more thorough than other videos!

Thanx for teaching me the word "Thorough"

Old explanation videos are the best.

@gundabalf Год назад

These old documentaries are the absolute best. There was one about the car differential which opened my third eye or some sh*t, no joke, I felt true enlightenment.

@MrJef06 Год назад

@@Muckinaroundintheshed true, and more importantly when teaching something was the main purpose of the film

@chak_dz6961 Год назад

I'm impressed how these videos are SOO more efficent and clear that other 3d graphical more advanced videos

@SeekerAndLearner Год назад

This is why we say "Old is gold". If there was a way to give this video a thousand likes, I would surely have done it. The amount of effort that has gone into making this masterpiece of a video, deserves a lot more appreciation than it's getting.

No doubt, these watches were, are and will always be a marvel of engineering. Just Incredible

@Generalcloud876 Год назад

Hamilton was such a great brand.

@onahchristian2684 3 года назад

upon all the advancements, this actually did explain better...esp how the spining starts, what causes the continous spining...

@maxlinck9037 2 года назад

these old videos are awesome, explaining things in a way anyone can understand it - from the workings of a watch to every component of a (old) car

@balasubramanianp1372 Год назад

thanks. This is better than newer videos.

@musiolikart 2 года назад

Best explanation ever ! All in old fashion post war style

@asapfilms2519 Год назад

This is such a beautiful example of a kinetic sculpture….one can make a big watch train and hang it in the living room and enjoy the movement…

@dylangoveas6239 3 года назад

Superb...old videos are gold

@theterminator9393 Год назад

Best explanation❤️ old videos are always the greatest

@Jack-xo2zp Год назад

Jam Handy always made very good films.

@navyfan87 Год назад

What an amazing video (film). I can't imagine how much time the people who made this spent on planning this all out and then filming it. Especially the stop action sequences. So much easier to understand than the countless modern computer generated animations. Great stuff - thanks for sharing !

Every single watch lover/enthusiast must honestly watch this video over and over again like me haha 😄 This is probably my 4th or 5th time now lol. I don’t care how old it is In fact if anything, it’s better BECAUSE it’s older, and watch technology has remained essentially the exact same for hundreds of years now.

@betochiwas 2 года назад

Also this was produced by Hamilton watch company, a youtuber in doing videos in his living room doesn't have the same budget that a major watch company had in the 40s, specially before they fell behind asian alternatives

@johnnyrocketed2225 Год назад

Watched a ton of videos on this topic over last couple of days and this was by far the best one! I finally feel like I understand exactly how a mechanical watch works. Thank you!

@GrakovNe Год назад

Best one video which perfectly explain how the escapement works!

@neilmartin7776 2 года назад

This was surprisingly informative - explained things simply, thanks for posting

@JacobMaximilian 2 года назад

Much better than the other explanations! Thanks for the upload!

@benandaustin2393 3 года назад

A lot easier to understand than other videos

@punavmirlekar 2 года назад

how does this old video explains the concept better then CGI and animated explanation ?

@Enrico- Год назад

0:36 "An accurate watch ticks 5 times per second", kids today with their fancy 4hz watches should learn that

@naveenchaudhary4072 Год назад

*why such older videos are much much informative and easy to understand than today's hifi 3D animated ones*

@lkazanov Год назад

Why is it that the America of old, provides so much more knowledge and explanation? Couldn't imaging sitting in a physics class taught by Einstein. The questions one could ask, and the answers that might come. What has happened to us? Now students demand (and receive) a professor be fired that the class was too hard.

@Jazzmaster71 Год назад

Imagine how many classic mechanical watches that is in peoples drawers and lofts around the world.

such a small complex mechanism to determine where we are as we ride the arrow of time....

@davem3789 2 года назад

It’s 2022 and I’ve just discovered how watches really worked. Thanks RU-vid

@Bill_Hartnett 2 года назад

So good! Thanks! Reminds me of the old war department videos. There's a fantastic one on M1 Carbine Principles of Operation here on RU-vid that is much like this. Big model to explain things & all.

God bless you. Enjoyed this without multitasking.

finally, someone explain completely.

@siddhunkarthik 2 года назад

It would be nice to see in 3Dim with currently available technology. Thanks a lot for this video. My doubt:- I am still not clear how the main sprint chamber which is housing already tightly wound spring release its stored energy to kinetic ( movement) by keying it with crown? Where the another end of the already wound spring is connected in the mechanism?

@Enrico- Год назад

The second wheel (the one the minutes and hours hands are attached) has a pinion on the other side that engages with the barrel teeth. Like at 6:00 but with the second wheel instead of the escapement wheel.

@jacksinsel8798 Год назад

Nice!

Seeing all these people checking their pocket watches like ballers of the day is just so crazy how now days everyone just checks their phone, of course Im not a statistic I wear an old WWII mechanical watch.

@thecentralscrutinizer1758 Год назад

The sheep check their smartphones, the lions wind their watches.

@Gigaguenther Год назад

no word lost about the automatic works though

@thecentralscrutinizer1758 Год назад

Because this is a demonstration of how a manual watch works, not an automatic watch.

Doesn't really explain well how the hairspring gains energy so soon after the hairspring GIVES energy.

@Enrico- Год назад

The hairspring's job is to help the balance wheel regulate the march of the gear train. It's not giving energy, it's applying a break to the escape wheel trough the lever. The purpose of the oscillator is to make sure the mainspring doesn't just uncoil at a random pace (or as soon as possible) but at a controlled rate thus ensuring a proper timekeeping.
