The Ultra Chron was made from 1967 on. I just bought a 1967 Ultra chron, 18k gold, gorgeous spotless dial, great case and sooo accurate, in fact it looks brand new, I absolutely love it!

Loved this--Longines Ultra Chrons still have a spot in my heart-bought my first one as a 20 yo in 1972. I would enjoy a little commentary, if possible, on what you are doing at different steps/parts. Thank you so much for your beautiful video!!!!

I have my Gt Grandaunts Longines 18ct ladies pocket watch c.1900 that I'm terrified to leave into any 'watchmaker' in Ireland to have a long overdue service done. With this craftsman and his skills, I would have no reservations in so doing. A joy to watch

Longines was head and shoulders above Rolex and Omega before the quartz crisis!

@Karol235 Год назад

I agree with you, just look at watches from the 50s and 60s fantastic movements and beautiful frames flagship admiral beautiful watches

@marianosanchidrian1746 Год назад

excellent... that is why I love Longines in the 50-60s age

@davidroland6431 2 года назад

great job!!! What a nice designed watch is this!!! I realy love longines watches and movements specially this movement. Thank you for bringing it back to life. Good luck!!!

@Karol235 2 года назад

I like longines very much too! I personally consider them to be one of the best watches / brand in the world in the 50-60-70. like here - ultra chron, you have to mention flagship and conquest. and what was the competition doing at that time? omega could compete. of course, we are talking about a similar price range, golden longines and omega are timeless elegance

@davidroland6431 2 года назад

@@Karol235 Thank you for reply!!! I agree with you about longines and I like omega watches too. I think the main competition at that time was to build a watch as thin and robust as possible and ofcourse to compite with quartz watches. But i think longines still has a unique way of design in today.

Job well done! An absolute stunning movement and watch. Must have been very satisfying to bring it back to life!

@Karol235 2 года назад

hello, there is always great satisfaction when the service goes well. and it is even greater satisfaction to see the joy of the owner. usually such a watch is a large piece of family history, it was once used by grandfather or dad and now it is a gift or an inheritance for a son / maybe a grandson and thanks to my work this story can be continued. it gives me great joy Regards Karol

Excellent video. Beautiful watch very professionally serviced. Why is it inscribed on the dial side of the barrel DO NOT OPEN? Can you please explain?

@Karol235 2 года назад

hello, theoretically you should not open the barrels because they are hermetic. the complete set of barrel main spring and barrel arbor should be replaced. but where to buy such a set ? after such an exchange, the parameters are not always perfect, but the watch works. some springs in such barrels were oil-free, lubrication of the spring slowed down the watch. generally 431 is hard on the service

@MartynDavis 2 года назад

So the barrel said "do not open".. was it hard to open and re-close after you'd replaced the mainspring? I've heard some "do not open" barrels from other manufacturers being folded over the cap making it very difficult. Was that the case here?

@Karol235 2 года назад

hello, you can open it normally, in theory it's very much. sealed, and some of them were without lubrication, and the lubrication slowed down the work very much. in theory, the whole set, spring and barrel should be replaced. there are great forces there and it guaranteed that no one would put a good spring into a worn out barrel and vice versa. but these are high costs. There are many theories. but this way you can open and close it normally, you just need to be careful not to destroy it. it was not creased, just tight fit
