Cameron Weiss, master watchmaker and founder of family-owned Weiss Watch Company, dives into watchmaking in this new series.
Cameron talks about the importance of tools in the craft of watchmaking. Each tool, whether old or new, requires inspection before using it on a timepiece. Most tools do not come fully finished and need additional fine tuning to fit a specific task. The precision and finishing required for each specific watching tool may surprise you. Even the watchmaking benches are custom crafted for the job.
Directed, shot, edited by Andrew Reed at the Weiss Watch Company workshop in Nashville, TN. weisswatchcompany.com #watchmaker #watch #watchrepair #watchmaking #craftsman

I'm more of an electronics and macro-mechanical guy, but I always love seeing working environments like this, workbenches and labs and such. The combination of seeing into the tool environment you use for this speciality work and listening to your slow, thoughtful manner of speech was both interesting and incredibly soothing for me. Thank you very much for that experience and glimpse into your world.

One thing I've noticed from watching many watch technicians is how they organize the dissasembled parts. Everything has it's place.

True Craftsmanship! As amazing for society as it was for Ford to revolutionize manufacturing with assembly lines and techniques for mass production, the art of craftsmanship has waned in pursuit of numbers. It's enjoyable to see an artisan mastering his craft.

I see a Fanuc Robodrill, what looks like a Tornos Swiss DT, and an old Tornos screw machine. Now that's a cool lineup, and what I would expect would be used to produce watch parts.

Cameron, another lovely video! Being a hobbiest watchmaker, I’ve always wondered how a brand new watch is assembled by hand and not leave a mark. Do you match perfectly the diameter of the screwdriver bit to the screw? I assume you want the edges of the screw grove both touching each bevelled side of the screwdriver bit, but not touching the bottom of the screw groove? Tools are my Achilles heel in that they are so expensive, for example a presto tool 3 for 5 spoke wheels like driving wheels on chronographs are very expensive! What tool do you use to remove cannon pinions, I still use tweezers. Do you not use a microscope? Also i don’t have main spring winders yet, also so expensive! Please continue make lovely videos for us to lean from, I’ll keep saving!

The tools certainly can be expensive, but some things can be made instead of bought if funds are tight. Good news is that many of your questions will be answered in upcoming videos! I really want to help people learn about watchmaking and the large amount of time and thought that goes into each tiny detail.

Do you use Bergeon^s automatic oiler for oiling balance jewels or you use an own magic of yours?
@thewatchmakersworkshop
@thewatchmakersworkshop Год назад
I have not used automatic oilers, but I know of other watchmakers that do. I use my regular black bergeon oilers polished and shaped into a nice, small spade shape.

What tools cost around $5,000? I've heard that's the going rate for a complete too set. Why is a set so expensive?
@thewatchmakersworkshop
@thewatchmakersworkshop 5 месяцев назад
This would be for standard bench items for the watchmaker. The tools are all made in Switzerland, they are high quality and very specialized. Cheaper tools can be purchased, but sometimes the cheaper tools can hamper the learning of a new watchmaker. A watchmaker with a good workshop can easily have over $20,000 of tools and equipment at their disposal in a one man shop.

Whats the worst is when someone comes and takes or brakes your tools, like your hands the tools have become an extension of you.

I've had colleagues abuse mine unfortunately, and it does affect you personally, even if it wasn't intentional. I think you've done well to explain just how much of a personal touch is put into this kind of work, certainly resonated strongly with me. Keep up the great work!

Don't you use a microscope? A loupe is only used for vertical observation in a professional shop.
@tomraine4288
@tomraine4288 6 месяцев назад
Maybe due to cost. A microscope is not essential and like the video says things are very much down to preference. Many professionals only using a loupe.
@thewatchmakersworkshop
@thewatchmakersworkshop 5 месяцев назад
I use a microscope for certain tasks. They are rarely required and only in the past 10 years has it become more common to see microscopes used in watch repair. Watchmakers will not have one on their own bench typically and this episode was about what the watchmaker has at their bench. If there is a workshop with a microscope it will usually be one microscope for a number of watchmakers to use infrequently.
