Don't kid yourself, even the most prestigious watch firms of today still use machinery to cut and form most of the parts.
The assembly and fine tuning is done by hand.
Where as with a great majority of "high end watches", they simply replace a few screws, time it, pop their name on it and call it done.
Nobody really makes watches "the old way" anymore.

@GRAFHC moronful comment.. google roger smith watches for instance
hardly you ever gonna earn thatr much in life to buy one, but anyway they do make watches by hand (which has nothing to do with this video where a movement is obviously made by CNC)

I can't wait to put a watch together and get it going...like having a child,watching the piece take it's
first breaths of life...as the movement begins,we are reminded then,of our own lives...truely an inspiration and thought provoking...I have a drawer filled with piece of shit watches...I will withold the names of said brands...as most of the damage was caused by myself!! but still....I want to fix them all.
:o)

@xNoobFromHell in the 80's?

@yoyobran Yes it is or 7750

Nice work with creating your own watch brand, but I can't approve how you handle the finished and cleaned movement with your bare fingers. You've broken the first rule of horology.

@chrisorama01 ive sourced parts on ebay many times. cannibalised one to repair another. ive built my own wristwatches. just lack certifications :( ahh well an education will help there. these timepieces are quite gorgeous. in my opinion

@leapinglanmann Try looking up Bart and Tim Gronefeld. They're just two of the many independent watchmakers hand crafting their own creations.

where can you buy the parts? because I know how to make them as i had to take the batteries out of one then rebuild it completely because it broke
chrisorama01 3 years ago
Batteries? Mechanical watches like, for example, Sothis, do not have batteries. It depends what you need but worth buying "old" and even not working watches to "steal" components from them and re-build the one that you love.

This video is awesome! That looks like a Valjoux 7751 movement that he's working on. Can anyone confirm this?

Most of Sothis watches use Valjoux movements
