wow... i like on the end... handmade.... i just try to imagine as a watchmaker tie in a wise these part and start to shaping with a file.... anyway i saw a few watchmechanisme on the web and they are beautiful masterpieces...
Most of the parts aren't made in a vise, they're made using a lathe. It's called turning. They turn the metal on the lathe and cut it down with a graver into certain sizes and lengths, as you can see a lot of the parts of a watch are made up of circular shapes, the teeth and leaves of the wheels and pinions are also traditionally cut with a lathe, you use an index plate to get the right amount of teeth and a tooth cutter will come in from the side and cut each teeth and leaf individually.
usually the polishing of only the frame of this tourbillon takes A WEEK .... And every worker has its recognizeable "handwriting" in creating .... this stuff just makes me O_o

Ein Tourbillon ist schöner Quatsch an einer Armbanduhr - er bringt überhaupt nix. Sieht aber nett aus und ist meisterhaft.

Of course, the tourbillon falls completely out of Saxony watchmaking tradition, but to see them make one is still very nice indeed.
