This video is one of those rare YT occasions that you can just sit down and listen to what is said. And what is said is meaningful from the very beginning. These type of productions are nothing less than absolute gold in an era that everyone has to shout things out loud to get attention. Brilliant video and dialogue.

As an RGM customer, I have to say I’m so happy to see you give Roland his due. IMO, he’s making the best American watches ever. As a Pennsylvanian, I couldn’t be prouder to see our horological heritage continue.

@steaknzp7855 7 месяцев назад

Awesome interview, hearing opinions and advice from an actual expert watchmaker is incredibly informative. One of the things that really stood out for me is that even though his company produces watches and doesn’t need the extra work, they continue to do restorations just to further the experience and expertise of their watchmakers. I hope this company remains private and is never sold to a conglomerate.

@mex3000cf 7 месяцев назад

Such great info. Especially like Teddy said, as collectors we get told to keep movements running to avoid oils "gumming/drying" and after hearing this, I'm definitely stopping all my non daily wear timepieces!!!

Teddy for me as a collector this was one of the most informative videos I have ever watched. Your questions to Roland was what all of us if we had the the chance would love to know. Thank you Teddy for being a real asset to the watch community.

@VMIyanks04 7 месяцев назад

For the inherently American question, it’s the assembly line! The Swiss came to America to learn that and applied it to their manufacturing processes. Waltham was the first watch assembly line I believe, which was based off of the Henry Ford model.

@theronwolf3296 Месяц назад

That physical abilities question was interesting. As a teen in the mid 60s I really enjoyed disassembling and assembling whatever watches I could obtain, but I began to realize that, even at that age, my hands were not steady enough. I began to realize my coordination would probably not be getting better.

@jpdemer5 7 месяцев назад

ETA movements are perfectly good; I think people are a bit snobbish, and want the movment in their watch to be "special" rather than a generic that tens of thousands of people also have on their wrists. Those exotic movements can cost a fortune to service, which significantly increases the cost of "in house" exclusivity.

Totally agree with the watch winder comments. You also subject your timepiece to more frequent servicing by keeping it on a winder for a prolonged period of time.

@sdmwoodworking 7 месяцев назад

I really appreciate the information here, especially the bit about it not being necessary to keep a watch wound. One of my old watches in particular (a beautiful old Deco Benrus) is running, recently cleaned and lubricated. But if anything breaks, my guy tells me that parts will be hard to find. So I've been winding and wearing it only every couple of weeks, hoping that'll stretch out its remaining life. Thanks.

@prettysoIdier 7 месяцев назад

I’m surprised there isn’t more interaction. I’m not smart enough to understand the intricacies of mechanical watch movements even after watching a bunch of watch and learns, autocad visualizations etc. this is a person who knows it all.

@hernandoloto 28 дней назад

Thank you very much for this great video, it's answer all the questions running in my head. My first watch is a manual winding (Citizen) in my elementary days in the 80's and switch to automatic until my college days. I stop using this type of watch movement for 30 years and I started to going back again to mechanical watch.
