Longitude Clock n°30 : Ferdinand Berthoud Masterpiece Restoration 

This definitely one of the best watch channels.

I love Ferdinand Berthoud’s watches. They are unconventional and look like scientific instruments, but in a very cool way. One of my favorite watchmakers.

This is by far the best channel for watches on You Tube. Your video's highlight incredible craftsmanship from brands other You Tubers doing watch video's have never even heard of.

Simply facinating! Thanks for sharing Marc.

Go on 👌 two chronometer restorations. Thanks Marc

insanely beautiful... kudos to the astonishingly beautiful creations.... and salute to all the team who restored the piece back to its well deserved glory!!! thanks for sharing!!!

Wow what a magnificent video. A breath of fresh air in the world of disposable plastic crap. May the young generation learn to appreciate such masterworks as us old geezers do.

It was the development and design of these early chronometers that really got me interested in horology. Thank you Marc, for bringing us a truly fascinating look at this great restoration!

Stunning episode. I own a 1918 Elgin Marine Chronometer on Original box. Now, I even appreciate it more. Thanks for such a good episode content.

Fantastic video , please lets have more like this one .

It amazes me what these professional restorers can do. This chronometer is a piece of history as well as a work of art and I am delighted that someone took the time and the effort to restore it to its original condition. Thanks, Marc, for an excellent video!

Fantastic video !

Very Nice Awesome restoration...Detail to attention and Originality is Must

Great vid thanks

The fact it was in such good condition is a testament to the craft of its original construction. A truly beautiful piece.

Fantastic, thanks Marc, really great. Ferdinand Berthoud was a meticulous worker who not only created excellent timepieces but also carefully observed and documented what affected their performance. He was he first to tabulate in 1773 the effects of temperature, and in 1778 observed the middle temperature error. How wonderful to see one of his "lost" timepieces found and restored.

Very cool

Fantastic...... just love this channel ❤️

Thank you for producing and posting this remarkable video. It is videos like this that make your channel non-pareil!

Fabulous !!! thank you

It blows my mind what these old timers were capable of all those years ago, certainly the best watch channel on youtube.

AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Really unique piece! Great vid

I'd still rather hear about the old timepieces and history than the new watches, but nonetheless, I am impressed with some of the newer watches.

Truly amazing!

Very cool! Keep up the great work/content!

Very interresting..thanks a lot to TheWatches.tv and also to M Scheufele, a really great entrepreneur and to the restorators

Love history and it's many faces. Keep your great content coming. Thank you.

What an amazing thing.

Great video! Refreshing. Keep it up.

J'adore la mer ...

Level of content Top. Thank you for your sharing with me.

Wow......

Fantastic!

Wow ! Thank you Marc André for this video and 'chapeau la restoration ' !

great video thank you

This was excellent. Love to see how something made by hand, can be restored by hand. It’s amazing what the watch makers are capable of. Thx for the video

Fascinating

COOL PIECE, interesting video

Beautiful, thank you Marc. Always great to see history valued and restored to its formal glory. Viva watchmaking!

The two dislikes were from Stephen Pulvirent and Cara Barrett. This video didn't contain a single Leica or Real Housewife.

Wonderful video Marc, thanks so much for sharing it. I've always been fascinated by marine chronometers since reading about John Harrison and his work. Most people don't realize how important these clocks were in navigation, after all, most ships traveled beyond cell phone signal ;-) . It's amazing to see the lengths the restorers went to in keeping the originality of the piece, even to the point of keeping the timing of the case hinge screws. True craftsmen! Love to see more of this sort of content, perhaps with an explanation of the escapement and how it works. Perhaps you could devote a video on the JLC Atmos on your shelf, they are fascinating. Once again, merci!

Amazing

Loved this video. I have restored several pinball machines from the 50s and 60s but something like this is very special! Thanks!

Austanding mate 🤟🙌🙏

Simply brilliant again Marc, thank you

That was utterly fascinating. Thank-you.

Great report. Can't wait to see what FB makes out of this Chronometer into their collection. This is definitely one of my top favourite low-production HH manufacturers.

Amazing. Great to see the broad spectrum of chronometry.

always wanted to see an in depth look at a marine chronometer, thanks for making this vid!

Best

very impressive what they are doing ...i salute them all........................and u as well sir and everyone who is watching this amazing vid including myself of course...

top level

Nice and interesting to watch... 1700s, holy cow! Marc, very unique indeed!

Fantastic video! One of your best. Right up my alley, as I love marine chronometers.

Taking inspiration for the future from the past, that some great tradition that horology has to offer.

5:34 Une certaine émotion quand on voit apparaître les niveaux du mouvement. Merci pour la vidéo !

You guys did an amazing job!!!! I mean this is just incredible and I really understand and appreciate the amount of time and craftsmanship that went into this. Just overall beautiful restoration.

Great content

Have you seen the channel called "Objectivity"? They often talk about old clocks and gadgets.

Marine instrument! Amazing the gyro cage of the watch is the great grandfather of modern tourbillon cages.

"Wow"

So Happy So Col So Mach Blassfull The trust of the all wis useful knowlage

You sound a heck of a lot like Georges Colinet.

What a great story, I must admit that I love these restorations and see the craftsmen work with skill. Thank you.

First video iv not liked on your channel for the last 3 or 4 years. Looks like it was reproduced in a machine shop last week / month. No history retained for me. Im on a negative day, sorry guys. keep up the good work.

OMG you scraped away the beautiful old case patina......now all shiny looks like a Rolex.

They destroyed an original. It is only original once.

Pour moi, cette horloge a perdu de la valeur. Aseptisée, complétée, polie.... Plus aucune histoire, plus aucun vécu..
