Watchmaking, Restoration of movement M. Großmann 3955 (final spurt) 

thank you Mr Steffen, i waited a long time for someone to teach me exactly this ancient art, my respects to you.

Thank you very much. This is a video series that will be a key source of inspiration and instruction for all of us to watch again and again.

Great video, as always. I have learned a lot from watching your videos. You are an extremely talented craftsman.

Thank you very much for this new video!

This is a master watchmaker at work thank you very much for this video

Great video, again. Thanks.

Sir,you are a great watch maker...

Great video..!! Thank you so much for posting. It's always a pleasure to watch your work in progress. John

Wie immer eine Freude zuzuschauen!

Very impressive work Steffen. Your videos are awesome :-)

Thank you! Very inspiring. Great work!

I`d so wish you were in Patagonia, Argentina. Watches and clocks from the XIX and XX Centuries are lost and dumped because no person really knows how to fix them properly as you do. Danke!!!

Really enjoyed the work on the mainspring it is always skipped over in other videos.

You are not a watchmaker you are a artist!

Simply beautiful!

Thank you so much for taking the time to video yourself at work. Its an absolute joy to sit here, and watch you. Towards the end of this video, I observed you using two oil application pens, could you tell me their name/brand and which oil you put in them?

EXELENTE TRABAJO DE LA RESTAURACION TODO UN MAESTRO .DEL RELOJ

Great work, and great trick with the knife! I had not heard of this, I will try it. You say the bristle brush is 'German silver' - this is I think nickel silver, and I would guess gives a better effect than a brass one.

sehr interessantes Uhren Video

I know this would take editing and involved shifting from views. It would have been great if we could see the close up of the work he was doing like winding the mainspring into the holde then the barrel work. After the close up the scene could shift to what we are watching now. It is wonderful to see this craftsman at work, Just would have like to seen a close up of what he is achieving.

Steffen, I am referring to the lyre shaped part with the three holes in the tourbillion movement. There is a blue rendering of the three armed part next to your response to my question. I am curious as to why the arms are curved instead of straight. david

Thanks.

I read somewhere that the plates on English (maybe also German) watches were matted not only with the brush but also were treated with hydrochloric acid to heighten the effect.

great.

Thanks, I will try and find the reference to the frosted finish using muriatic (hydrochloric) acid. Might be in Saunier's hand book.

Relojero altruistic, it congratulations

Hallo, entschuldigen Sie bitte meine schlechte Deutsch. Ich bin ein total Hooby Anfanger mit Uhren und moechte fragen wie soll ich die kleine Teile reinigen wenn ich es manual machen moechte. Ich habe viele informationen auf Internet gefunded, aber die sind zu general. Zumbeispiel es gibt so viele Moglichkeiten die konnen als Spiritus genannt werden und ich moechte gern das richtige kaufen. Ich moechte es manual reinigen das ich alle Teile lerne. Ich verstehe das ich auch for manuale reninigung die Elme WF und Elme Supera benutzen kann. Aber die "alten" Uhrmacher benutzen die nicht. Oder so ich denke. Wurden sie mir etwas fur reninigung empfoehlen? Danke.

Steffen, The arms are curved. Is there a functional reason for curved arms as opposed to straight radial arms? david

How can I purchase your tourbillion book? david

Please look FLUME Technik or Bergeon via internet. Regards Steffen Pahlow

as you can see and tell he is not wearing any watch
