I was recently working on a pocket watch for a friend and found a couple of broken jewels similar to what you found here. It was his father‘s watch, and has quite deep, sentimental value for him, so I did not feel confident taking on this deep of a repair. After cleaning and lubricating the watch, I handed it back to him and told him what I found, showing pictures of the jewels, and I was sad that after having the watch for so long, I was not able to fully repair it. Now that I have seen this video, I think I am going to make some attempts at replacing jewels on some old scrap movements that I have to see how I do. Thank you very much for sharing this information, it is hard to find guidance of this level of quality in this hobby. Nicely done, and excellent video quality as well!

@quinn-676 4 месяца назад

At lease you had the self awareness to tell the friend that you weren't comfortable with doing it. You can either practice on spare movements and eventually go through the stressful process of trying it on his, or try to help him find someone who knows how to do it. Either way, your friend is better off having the information that you gathered so he knows what to look for in order to fix it.

@skypuppeteer 3 месяца назад

I've literally only just stumbled upon this video, alongside your comment, and have no prior knowledge of watches or of the hobby, but I just had a thought and wanted to ask about it Would it be possible to find a location, like a pawn shop or an antiques store, that could possibly be selling older (broken) watches--hopefully for cheap, or at least, not enough to break the bank--that you could potentially practice on? I'm not sure what you may mean by jewels, so please forgive my ignorance if it relates to something very specific that may be hard or impossible to find in watches at these sorts of stores. Also, feel free to educate me a bit about this hobby (only if you want to)! I've become fairly intriqued by it from this video and the comments on it

@erinfinn2273 3 месяца назад

@@skypuppeteer High precision mechanisms like pocket watches use tiny diamonds as bearing surfaces for the axles of the gears, as diamonds have high natural lubricity (slipperiness). You probably could find old pocket watches at a pawn/antique store, and take the jewels (bearing diamonds) from them, but unless you have two identical mechanisms and the tools needed to extract/set the jewels, they might be the wrong dimensions.

I love listening to you explain your reasoning. I think if my eyesight were better and I were younger, I might have tried what you do. When I was a young girl, I took great interest walking into a jewelry store in my town. The owner sat on an elevated platform, behind a piece of glass, with his loupe attached to his glasses. I always wanted to know him and learn what in the world he was doing, but was too shy to approach.

I have somehow gotten lured into watching your videos myself recently, and I am fascinated by the art and science that is watchmaking. I have visited your website, with some fear for what I might see, and I was right. Watchmaking is not something that just anyone can do for fun. It does look like something that would be very challenging and potentially rewarding for those who have the resources to get into it. I'll just keep watching the videos...

This is the first time I have seen the restoration of a pocket watch. I was blown away at the intricate detail and engineering that goes into a pocket watch. I couldn't stop watching as you restored the watch. My father gave me a pocket watch that was his fathers. It most likely isn't a very valuable watch but it is priceless to me. My grandfather served in the Navy in WWII, specifically the Pacific War. He passed away many years ago from throat cancer. He always had that cigar either in his fingers or puffing it. My father, 94 years old, still out paces me sometimes. My grandfather and my father were the key people who influenced me to become the man I am today. The pocket watch is one of the few things I have that ties me to both of these role models in my life. The watch looks to have been repaired someone but not by someone as skilled as you. I have wanted to get it restored for years now but too afraid to just hand it over to someone ... mostly because I know nothing about watch restoration ... well I didn't, until I watched this video. You have renewed my interest in getting the watched restored and working so I can pass it on to my son.

This is the first submission of yours that I've watched, and I was absolutely glued to it for the entire runtime. Ever since I was very little (maybe 18 months), I was always fascinated by analog wristwatches and steam trains -every time someone held me, if they were wearing an analog watch, I wanted to see/look at it... And this was the late 80's, so affordable digital watches were only *just* starting to come onto the market. I'm kind of surprised I never got into watchmaking later in life, but I was also diagnosed with pretty severe ADHD in my 20's, (and I struggled with it horrendously throughout my entire childhood), whhich probably played a major role in why that never came to be. Anyway, I enjoyed this repairs/exploration tremendously, and I'm very grateful that you took the time and effort to record the process and post it on RU-vid.

"Rub-in jewels" and I was all "...wha?" and then it was WHELP GUESS SO and I got all worried about metal fatigue but then it's like "No, wait, these get replaced every hundred years _maybe_" so really we don't have to worry about the metal fatigue. xD

I love how you just buy new tools and then try them out, but you're so meticulous in your process that even if your process wasn't done exactly the way the tool was intended, you still get the perfect result.

beautiful work and wonderful narration, and i absolutely appreciate that there is no repetitive and annoying music! leaving out the annoying music ramps up, exponentially, the professional level of this video! great work!

Another great video Marshall, I'm so glad young Wyatt got it back and you restored it for him. Plus you helped restore his faith and trust. The large 'over case' was used to provide a pocket watch bump/shock protection in a rough environment, a steam locomotive engineer for instance. I've seen a few, they are thin stamped metal and a celluloid crystal. The 'over case' takes the beating, then tossed out and the watch goes into a new 'over case'. Looking forward to your next restoration.

Definitely extra protection - my Grandad had a pocket watch he wore down the Coal Mines, as a Deputy and shot-firer he was responsible for getting the lads out of the workings at the end of the shift - basically because many would not have their own watches - his watch wasn't anything too fancy - a old Smiths Empire, but it was always in the extra tin-case (which was actually lined with some old green felt he's scrounged from when the Snooker Table at the local Working Mens Club Was re-covered) and apparently, he carried it on his "lamp belt" in a padded leather fitted "holster" when down the mine.

WOW AGAIN. This is one of the most beautiful and super attention-grabbing episodes I have seen with you. Educational but certainly also relaxing. The way of presenting is a great experience alone, and on top of that the final result. I'm already looking forward to the next episode. It is a challenge and reassuring every time. Greetings from the Netherlands.

Soooo fascinating!! Love it. And so glad that got the watch back!! 🎉

Glad the pathetic scammer was thwarted. Nice job on the diagnosis Wyatt - broken main spring. Looks like a crazy uncle offered to fix the watch with his trusty oil can :( Marshal, loved the visuals under the scope. Interesting that the jewel sizes can vary top to bottom of the same component - how odd? Nice job picking up the rub-in-jewel gauntlet and vanquishing the beast :)

I was chatting with Andrew Morgan (got a YT channel or 2) and He told me about some of these old pocket watches to check out.. some of the Movements are BEAUTIFUL!.. thinking of placing one into a writwatch case if I can find a Movement that's small enough.

@tmatus2877 4 месяца назад

@@mrmagoo.3678 tyvm for the information. The beauty of many old pocket watches is the ability of opening(some) the rear case and viewing the works. Not just the face or the simplicity or ornateness of the casing. You can't do that on one's wrist.

Hello Marshall, that fob watch turned out very nicely, especially as you used the traditional method of capturing the jewels. Very pleased to know that another bounder has been thwarted in their efforts to obtain the watch by deception. I couldn’t help but notice that one of the hands wasn’t an original. Firstly noted one was a copper tone and the other a yellow gold with a differing pattern. However the watch isn’t compromised by this in my eyes, only made more interesting as this is part of the watches history or story. I expect the young new guardian of the watch will be thrilled to receive the watch back in such fine fettle. Regards Kevin.

As with the other viewers here, I am glad the family was able to get their son's watch back, and into the right hands! The damaged jewels didn't surprise me. A watch that old has had a rough life, and damage happens over time... pun intended! It is cool you can restore such items! I have trouble with parts at times with the electronics I work on, and like you, I have to buy a duplicate to get what I need, and buying expensive parts as well for something not 'worth it', for other people!
