This time I repair and resassemble a beautiful carriage clock which dates from the 1880s; the height of the Victorian period in England. By luck I heard the mainspring on this clock the moment it snapped. It was as if the clock was crying out to me for help. So in this video you see the repair and restoration of the clock and the calibration of the cylinder escapement.

Well, first time I've seen a Stanley knife on a watch making video. Nice touch with the tweezers and screw. Makes a change from Rolex.

There's something beautifully theraputic about watching videos like this. Many thanks.

That's very good to hear Duncan as this is part of my intention! Much appreciated. Richard

I like a mainspring that can cause severe laceration if not handled properly lol very cool project

@richardperrettwatchmaker 6 месяцев назад

Hi John ... Yes, Goggles and big leather gloves were worn as I removed the spring from the barrel! Thanks for the feedback. Richard

Wow, very cool clock. Love how the escapement can be viewed from the top.

@richardperrettwatchmaker 6 месяцев назад

Hi @_Napoletano_ ... I agree, especially through a nice piece of bevelled 1880 glass! Nice! Richard

It's a beautiful clock, so well made and meticulously restored as we'd all expect. I also really enjoyed the ASMR blade change on the Stanley knife 🙂

It is always a pleasure to see a master at work (we don't talk about the minute wheel! ❤😅)

@richardperrettwatchmaker 6 месяцев назад

Hi @Katzenkotze85 in my defence it goes that way round on the Rolex 3135, 3035, 1570 ... in fact on them all! Thanks for the feedback! Richard

@Katzenkotze85 6 месяцев назад

😅 i really appreciate and love your work - don't get me wrong! ❤ best regards - Chris

@richardperrettwatchmaker 6 месяцев назад

Hi Chris ... Haha! I was just amused because when doing the edit I was deciding whether or not to refere to the 'minute wheel' ... I decided not to do this and it transpires you knew this anyway! Nice one! Thanks for the support. Richard

@richardbell466 6 месяцев назад

Love that clock. Especially with the blued setting lever at top. First class restoration!!!

@richardperrettwatchmaker 6 месяцев назад

Hi Paul... Very glad to be of service sir! Thank you so much for letting me know my efforts are a tonic, especially to the wearisome worker I guess .. much appreciated! Richard

@alexdeleon7135 6 месяцев назад

A wonderful service for a Victorian-age timepiece. This was a great way to begin 2024! I wish you continued success, and abundant health for the coming year, Richard. This was very calming to watch and enjoy (pardon the pun).

That clock looks amazing!

Another fine job Stanley. 😀

@ehudwolpe 6 месяцев назад

I appreciate how you handle everything under your hands with the same seriousness and respect, whether it is a simple cutting knife or a 1880 clock. This what makes your work so masterful. Many thanks!

@paulpietruszewski4226 6 месяцев назад

@hawkeye454 6 месяцев назад

Hello Richard! Such a joy to see another great video from you. Cheers sir.

@magu-ontour5237 6 месяцев назад

Richard, you forgot to blow the dust away inside the Stanley knife and apply a tiny drip of oil on the sliding mechanism.

@9f676150z8xF 6 месяцев назад

I enjoyed that - thank you. Nice ABU reel you have there - magnetic braking, nil level wind. Serious stuff! I’ll bet it runs like a clock! :)

@richardperrettwatchmaker 6 месяцев назад

Hi @9f676150z8xF ... ABU started as a clock and pocket watch company! I do love their Ambassadeur reels. Just so well made and this one in 'burnt orange' is dreamy. Well spotted sir! Richard

@rayclark44 6 месяцев назад

What an interesting video you really need some larger screwdrivers especially if your asked to fix Big Ben next 😂 Take care & stay safe Sir.

@orchardwatchandclockrepair8346 6 месяцев назад

Wow fantastic

@ericstoever9577 6 месяцев назад

You’ve approached the entire production with a wry sense of humor. Everything about the clock is so huge! And what of the katana at the start of the video? As always thanks for an enjoyable video!

@samphillips4925 6 месяцев назад

Ok, the box cutter screw thing made me laugh

@santacruzada 6 месяцев назад

Magnifica restauración. Awesome.

@johnhannon 5 месяцев назад

Thanks for posting this video. I have a similar clock with a French movement that I have been working on. Unfortunately, the cylinder part of the balance staff is broken in two pieces. I have the pieces so I may be able to take measurements and somehow find a similar replacement. The pivot "plugs" look good. I think that special stakes are used to remove the staff and pivots. They are nice clocks and do not take up much space.

@johnion6166 6 месяцев назад

Seeing you change the mainspring would have been interesting, instead of the Stanley blade.

@Robert32064 6 месяцев назад

Very nice video. Is there a story behind the fishing reel?

@davechandler6884 6 месяцев назад

Is the ABU reel next up for service ?.

@richardperrettwatchmaker 6 месяцев назад

Hi Dave... It does need a service as the drag washers are pretty shot through. I toyed with the idea of doing a video on it but I think I would have subscribers voting with their feet as soon as it was posted! Richard

@gabornagy3845 23 дня назад

Hi, I really enjoyed your video!:) At the beginning you mention that the case is lacquered. Which lacquer do you use for brass? Thx for your answer!!:)

@rodvickery9169 6 месяцев назад

You'll never be able to wear that on your wrist?🤣

@richardperrettwatchmaker 6 месяцев назад

Hi Rod ... haha! No pendulum, therefore it is really just a large watch. Smaller than a Panerai for sure but still a watch at heart! Richard

@andyoverall1951 6 месяцев назад

Not very authentic, Richard, I'm sure that they wouldn't have had B Dip or modern oils in Victorian times. Should have used some toxic cleaner and whale oil in my opinion 😂

What sort of butcher replaces a Stanley knife blade without ultrasonic cleaning and precise re-lubrication? Unsubscribed. (not!)

@richardperrettwatchmaker 6 месяцев назад

Haha Karl! I am just wild and free sometimes! Nice one! Richard

Withput a commontary running account or explanation, I find this to be quite boring!!! Sorry - not really

@tuppyglossop222 6 месяцев назад

A bit of constructive criticism. You did not need to spend around four minutes to show you changing a Stanley knife blade and sharpening a piece of peg wood. Nice footage, but adds nothing to the story.

@WasserSquatch 6 месяцев назад

I personally feel like the utility knife portion of this is actually Richard making a parody of himself

@zs1dfr 6 месяцев назад

I stopped watching after your ridiculo9us 3 minutes of wasted time sharpening some pegwood. I have better things to spend my time on. I came here to learn about carriage clocks!
