  • Insane! Allot more to it than I thought! Now how to change the time on a pocket watch!?

  • Gran explicacion, muy bien montado el video

  • Why always best (old) documentaries narrated with same dude? (same voice)

  • 7 ppl couldn't rebuild their watches and ordered new one.

  • thanks to hamilton company...nowadays the digital clocks dont have the glamour and elegance like mechanical clocks.....

  • I've watched this like 3 times and I still don't get it.

  • gracias por subir videos como este.

  • the mausoleum of hope and desire.

  • vary good video thanks!

  • this video is brilliant, only decent visual explanation ive found so far... should change the upload title toenglish, it would get a lot more views and help alot more people understand. i just ignored it the first few times i saw it in my searches. or upload it again with english title...

  • I completely adore this video, it started my passion for mechanical watches.

  • and how a tourbillon works?

  • @robertonico100 a lot more complicated.

  • @ElginPocketwatch I supose xD

  • Why does the narrator start with "now let's see what these four elements do"? Where are the other parts of this video?

  • very good thank you i`m beginin in the watch world

  • very good thank you i`m beginin in the watch world

  • @azulmetalisado You can do a google search for "Harveys Watch Repair Videos." He has a 4 hour DVD training course on watchmaking that is pretty informative and practical.  You can also buy the Chicago School of Watchmaking course off of eBay on CD. Although its from the early 20th century, the reference material is info packed and it makes a good text companion to the Harveys DVDs. Assembling and disassembling watches is not for the faint of heart.

  • hweel

  • I guess this was made before quartz crystals were used when watches actually were mechanical. Amazing they had that level of precision in manufacturing.

  • @JenkoTV Many brands still do watches like this today. They consider quartz a cheat on the tradition of wristwatch making. Just search for the expensive brands: Jaeger LeCoultre, Franck Muller, Audemars Piguet, etc. Its cool that they now have a wheight inside the watch that, by moving with the movevents of the wrist charges the watch, taking away the need to actually turn the wheel

  • Hmm, they never told how the balance wheel maintain its cycle to make the wheels perfectly sync in real time seconds

  • @JesperA86 The hair spring is attached to the central rod of the balance whell and to a point near the edge. Then the tension of the hair spring can be controlled by sliding the attachment point along the edge of the balance wheel -- the more tensioned it is, the faster the weel spins back and forth. (I see they ommitted this construction from the model they made, where they attached both ends of the spring to the central rod.)

  • @krrypton I need to ensamble the machine into the case of a wristwatch, I'm a jeweller I have no idea of watches, but I want to learn, can some one help?

  • @azulmetalisado Hm... The little I know I mostly learned while taking apart 3 of them, some time ago. (I only managed to "reconstruct" one -- with the other two I lost either patience or pieces).

    Basically, I can't tell you anything useful in your case. Try and google it?...

  • Fantástico... muito bom esse vídeo.

  • Great!

  • look at time!

  • niiiiiice

  • I just spent 10 minutes being fascinated by this... WOW.

  • I want this giant model in my house...it would be a great work of art on the wall.

  • Great video! :D

    How can 4 people not like this?!

  • If you guys think what a series of gears can accomplish is amazing you should see what they can do these days with a series of tubes.

  • @THEUrinalCake THE INTERWEBS!

  • @THEUrinalCake I find a watch a lot more complicated then plumbing, sir.

  • @THEUrinalCake Can you tell me what they do these says with a series of tubes i want to learn please :)

  • @THEUrinalCake THE INTERNET!

  • @THEUrinalCake As an electronic engineer I'd like to say that mechanical watches are still pretty cool! Sure we can just use a quartz resonator nowadays - and this is more accurate - but we didn't have electronics back in the 17th century when the design in this video was basically completely finalised. So it remains a great example of human ingenuity.

  • @phiellaep Which is not to say that electronics are not far far far far superior ;)

  • Very interesting video! A system of gears can do amazing things

  • Wow, and I actually own an Omega pocket watch with the exact internal movements shown in this video. Way cool.

  • Informational videos like these were better in the old days. I think we've become too obsessed with fancy computer graphics and animations these days, rather than explaining clearly HOW THE THING WORKS.

  • @zorinlynx Hindsight is 20/20. We have no reason to keep around and watch the hundreds of shitty videos from back then, so we have only the good stuff.

  • Amazing! Now it's so clear! Tks

  • Super erklärt ,tolles Video !

  • ENCERIO QUE SUENA INTERESANTE PERO ENTIENDO MUY POCO EL INGLES........JAJAJA QUE ALGUIEN LE PONGA SUBTITULES

  • Fantasic video!

  • I need a video of the tourbillon sistem...

  • OMG, que alguien le ponga subtitulo al vídeo D:

  • OMG, alguien que le ponga subtitulo D:

  • Incredible video

  • coño alguien pongale subtitulos....

  • Nice!

  • ps no entendi ni mergassss!!!!!!

  • THAT FOME THE VIDEO

  • Exelente video !!!!

  • ¿Viejo?

    Yo filmo mis aparatitos con una cámara de película y, tras la revelación, parece que la película tiene años.

  • excelente video, yo tenia dudas como funcionaba un reloj mecanico, pero con este video quede muy claro, gracias al del aporte

  • Me gusto mucho el video, es muy educativo.

  • no me digas
