Horology Biology takes on a watch service restoration challenge. The strangest Ailang Double Balance Wheel Automatic watch on AliExpress. Can I make it run better than it did out of the box?
The Ailang automatic double Tourbillion (as they call it) watch is available on Ali Express for a mere $47! Is this a lot of watch for your money or totally not fresh?

I haven't been into watches since my collection was stolen in a home burglary in 2018 - 128 in all, ranging from Chinese Alphas to Breitling for Bentley. Recently, I stumbled onto one of your videos and my wallet hasn't been the same. You have brought back the love that I lost after the burglary. I want to thank you for reigniting the passion I had for watches once more. Thank you!

@DrBovdin 2 месяца назад

I now do wonder if the vibrational coupling between the two running trains will indeed increase the accuracy of this watch. The fact that less energy is needed to drive either side, combined with the fact that the two mechanical oscillators are sharing the calibre body which would likely lead to the two eventually synchronising has the potential of making this guy quite accurate. Chinese watchmaking is quite fun. It is cheap, and thus attainable for most, which I think is great. All the parts may not have the finesse of a Swiss or Japanese watch, but still acceptable in quality. Nice to see this one dissected 😊

@HorologyBiology 2 месяца назад

You are more than likely correct as the second side would use nowhere near as much energy (or delayed friction) as the hour and minute train

For years I have been teasing my wife about her OCD. Now everyone to some extent can be a little OCD but my wife takes it to a entire new level especially with how the dishwasher is stacked, the cleanliness of the downstairs floor tiling and of course the cleanliness of our ensuite and guest powder room. After watching you service this Ailang watch I could see that you too are quite OCD and as a result I now understand why you must have this gift. I watched you be very precise with your layout of tools, a centimetre here and a millimetre there until everything was in its place. Working through a microscope makes this a requirement let alone the size and delicateness of all these immensely tiny watch components. Well done and appreciated.

@Gary-Seven-and-Isis-in-1968 3 месяца назад

That was really quite fascinating. Having seen these double escapement watches on AliExpress and eBay I thought that maybe the second balance wheel was bogus and was probably driven, rather than driving anything. I was scratching my head as to how it could be regulated on the Timegrapher. Your method really did surprise me. To have one power reserve derived from 2 mainsprings, supplying energy to two balance wheels, one for the hours and mins while the other is for the seconds seems like a massively pointless over complication and probably one that will never catch on other than being a novelty for those of us in the know.

I have a Roamer from 1960. My grandfather got it as a 50th birthday gift from his coworkers. He passed away in 1963 and the watch circled with my uncles until it ended up with my dad about 15 years ago. He gave it to me in 2011. I had it serviced and got a new leather strap for it. It works beautifully. Still has the original box and warranty papers as well.

Two mainspring barrells coupled together with an idler gear. How very Slava 24XX series of them! That said, if this movement was finished to a considerably higher standard and the price raised to $200, I think this could find a good niche in the watchmaking world.

@HorologyBiology 3 месяца назад

Could be. It’s a very pointless example of something over engineered that actually doesn’t fix anything really. Saying that tho it looks pretty cool

@alesiaaisela2653 3 месяца назад

The Slavas at least were using 2 barrels for larger power reserve and theoretically more consistent power delivery. This just seems like a whole lot more complicated with no direct technical benefit. It is eye-catching, though.

I gotta start using the rodico to pick up screws instead of trying to tweeze them all the time and periodically pinging them across the room

Can you give a link where you get those dial holders at play maybe some of the other holder boxes watchmakers use

@HorologyBiology 3 месяца назад

The ones I have are Omega ones that I just picked up at a watch fair. I think you can buy similar ones on eBay

I'm enthralled with the look of that watch and the dual balances. I'd love one made in the same style by a better company, using quality materials and techniques. I couldn't afford it, but one can dream.

Maybe one day 🤞🏼
