Glashütte tourbillon

its morning by grieg. classical.

What song is this?

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.

Thank you Martin for the fine video posting, absolutely the BEST in the watch design and craftmanship, ONLY for those who
know how to appreciates the FINE things in life just like LOVE.

Really well done video, thanks for sharing.

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

Awesome! Glashutte and Grieg :-)

Where can I get high res version of this remarkable video?

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