Today we have James' beautiful Aureole Chronographe Suisse in 18K gold on the bench, and this old watch is in need of some tender love and care! It does not run very well and there are issues with the chronograph function also.
Join Stian for a repair and service of this wonderful wristwatch as we delve into the history of Chronographe Suisse and the movement manufacturer inside them, Landeron.
Oh, and we will also discuss how Adam raised a Cain :)

Your work on balances always is fascinating. It's amazing that someone who can wield a watchmaker's hammer so effortlessly can also do the fiddly stuff with such gentle care and precision. George Daniels said that hand strength is an important asset for a watchmaker because it provides the watchmaker with better fine control, and your work is proof of that. And the demonstration of Zen and the art of watchmaking in connection with fitting the chrono second hand is an instant classic ("Intercourse!"), right up there with your Barry White cover work. Best wishes to you and the family for the holidays.

@DanMcCudden 6 месяцев назад

I had a Westbury chronograph with the Landeron 48 inside. The case was gold plated, and clearly aimed at customers too impoverished to afford a Chronograph Suisse in 18k. When I got the case open I found the balance wheel had a wad of Rodico instead of the upper jewel. So I sent it for repairs and got it back with the original gold plate half stripped off and replaced with shitty semi transparent red gold plate.I didn't ask for that, I liked the patina as it was. So much for that! The shop offered to redo the plating but I was done. My junk chrono was ruined.

When I saw your video I was really excited to see a professional working on a landeron movement. I (hobbyist)recently restored a landeron 48 movement and it went quite good. The only thing was, I had to spend some time adjusting the chronograph action offset screws to make sure everything is engaging properly. One tip I learned is when you put the chronograph hands is to hold the reset button so that the hammer keeps the wheels locked. Cheers!

@PrometheusZandski 6 месяцев назад

This watch is stunning in its simplicity. There is something in that salmon dial that is mesmerizing, like it glows with its own energy. Then you opened it up and I was completely unimpressed. Stamped parts and flat design make the inside of this watch a snooze fest. My theory about the balance index is that the last person who worked on this was bored to tears, and one single tear fell on the index. I would love to see this watch remade with a better movement.

@VintageWatchServices 6 месяцев назад

🤔 The dial certainly is beautiful but I'm not sure I would ever call a horizontal clutch chronograph a snooze fest! It's a simple chronograph in an originally inexpensive watch but to me it's still much more interesting than most watches nowadays :)

As always, a great video with a very nice watch. Your videos were part of the reason I started to learn about watchmaking. I just love mechanical watches, and chronographs in particular. I actually have a similar Landeron-based chronograph that I'd like to practise on, but I don't have the presto tool to remove the chronograph driving wheel. Any ideas for alternative ways of removing that wheel without bending or breaking the pivot? Thank you very much for all the time and effort you take to make these videos.

@VintageWatchServices 6 месяцев назад

Thanks Ricardo, that is very nice to hear and thanks for joining! You can use hand levers or screwdrivers to remove the chronograph driving wheel, but the chance of bending or breaking the pivot is quite high, especially if you do not have a lot of experience. I'd suggest simply getting the Presto tool, and make sure you get the one that corresponds to the number of spokes on the wheel you want to take off, likely the 5 spoke version.

@franka9760 6 месяцев назад

Actually seemed like one of your more complex restorations. I love the salmon dial! As regards the rust on the regulator, it looked like the sort of red rust you'd find on steel. Is that part actually made of steel? I noticed that both the second caseback and the retainer ring were stamped "METAL". Is that to indicate base metal, and so a simple alloy of brass? Overall, beautiful work, Stian.

@VintageWatchServices 6 месяцев назад

Thanks so much! 😁👍

@VintageWatchServices 6 месяцев назад

Thanks, Frank! Yes, the regulator is steel. And the rings are brass.

@jacobgreenmanedlion1863 6 месяцев назад

I have a Chronograph very similar to this one, although the mechanism is not a Landeron; it has traditional stop/start and reset action. But it has exactly the same kind of case, possibly the same case; the odd reverse lugs, hollow lugs, 18k gold but so thin with base metal inner back and “stiffener”; I got it as a gift for my 21st birthday from a combination of my parents and my mentor (a jeweler). It was called a Phigied Extra. Pretty, but… basically unwearable.

@michaelbedford8017 6 месяцев назад

Oh Stian! How could you do this to me? I had to take a couple of stiff drinks before clicking. Yes, I had one of these many many years ago; it had a black dial with gold case, hands and printing, and it ended up breaking my heart. It was like one of those sophisticated women you fall in love with at a time when you're too young and immature to handle the situation. All went well to begin with and I really felt we would be together forever. But as the years went by she began to make ever increasing demands on me and my thin pocket-book. It eventually became clear to me that I had to say goodbye to either her or my sanity. But I'll never forget her. So here I am, forty years later, trying to hold back the tears...😢

I'll do a video actually on both next year as part of a larger project, but it's worth noting that having to poise a quality watch is rarely necessary and very rarely worth the effort.

@velviaman3206 6 месяцев назад

Very good explanation using the overlayed text on the wheels. I am always amazed how these tiny teeth mesh with the much larger teeth. I have worked with quite a few gears in my time but this seems to be found only in chronographs. Would that be correct?

@VintageWatchServices 6 месяцев назад

It is indeed common in chronographs that the chronograph runner wheel (the chronograph seconds counter wheel) has twice as many teeth per mm as the meshing wheels. That is to reduce the movement of the chronograph seconds hand when the wheels engage.

@moboei 6 месяцев назад

It is indeed handsome

@allanrichards3752 6 месяцев назад

I always thought that a Chronograph watch was supposed to be the most accurate of watches but then there is the Chronometer, like Marine chronometers. As far as I see it now chronographs are watches with the timing functions (or complications) that this watch has, and the escapement mechanism is the same principle as many watches. Marine chronometers have a unique detent chronometer escapement that is supposed to be the most accurate mechanical escapement, but I think others like the grasshopper and Graham escapement are pretty well up there with the detent movement. Is there a watch with a detent chronometer escapement?

@VintageWatchServices 6 месяцев назад

Hello Allan, chronographs have nothing to do with accuracy, it is indeed about event timing. Chronometer is a term for accurate watches, and there are accreditation agencies for officially certifying chronometer watches such as COSC in Switzerland. The chronometer escapement (or detent escapement) were used in marine chronometers and there were indeed pocket watches made with this escapement. The issue is that it is not self-starting and it is prone to locking if it receives shocks thus it isn't viable for wristwatches. Grasshopper and Graham escapements were used in large clocks.

@JochenVogel 6 месяцев назад

What @MichaelBossetta said. Nice watch! And a great strap choice this time. How do Landeron movements compare in quality to the other mass produced cam-chronograph-movements of the time, namely the Valjoux 7730 series?

@VintageWatchServices 6 месяцев назад

Thanks! The 7730 series came a bit later than the Landeron 48 family, but quality wise the Landeron movements are a bit less refined. It's not uncommon to strip threads in plates etc, and there are some cheaper solutions in the use of wire springs, extra screws to hold things in place etc. But Landeron movements were absolutely solid.

@JochenVogel 6 месяцев назад

Thank You, Stian. I guess the economizing also explains that most Landeron movements haven't got a shock protected balance. Which is the main reason I have refrained from adding one to my collection so far. The other main reason is a chronical lack of funds, of course. ;-) @@VintageWatchServices
