Mark-  I really enjoy your videos but are we seeing the effect of too much light in your workshop?  I see a lighted orb or possible ghost bellow your face in the video.  Oh, love your new workshop!

I noticed that too.  Couldn't tell if it was too much like or an issue with the sensor of the camera.

Yes - the light bulbs got reflected into the lens, I will watch out for that next time. Didn't think it would warrant recording the whole thing over again :)

Defiantly not.  Question - Did you do the animation yourself?  I hope you use it in the future for explaining complex things.

You could of just said your workshop is haunted.....  

 

Lol - indeed :)

 

The animation was a nice touch. I wouldn't have guessed it was done in Keynote.

 

I was surprised that Keynote had that as well. But it is very basic, you cannot set pivot points (so no good when I want to demonstrate the escapement). I might do it in flash next time or toonboom.

I haven't used Keynote for several years now so I haven't kept up to date with new features, but it has always been a very nice app. It's really blows Powerpoint out of the water.

 

As an alternative I would recommend Apple Motion, which is a bargain at $50. It has nifty things like linked behaviours which would be handy for movement simulations like the one you did in this video.

I am actually quite impressed with Keynote - almost zero learning curve, I found it very intuitive.

 

I have motion installed, never played with it - thanks for the recommend, I will check it out.

Just wanted to say how much I enjoyed your new video series Mark.  Especially the fact that you're taking your time explaining everything in detail. 

Far too often, when I watch other YT Channels, the subject material is rushed, or edited so severely (for fear of loosing viewer interest), that important details are brushed over; or missed completely.  I'm glad to see you are not taking this approach with your channel. 

Thank you Mark, and keep'em coming mate :thumbsu:

Great video and as always thanks for recording. Really enjoyed it and learned some new info. Timing a watch is a really interesting subject as it is always a 50/50 decision for me to either just get it going and running reasonable, or try and improve it, with the risk of shagging it up. Can't wait for next instalment

      Second hand watch market.

      By Neverenoughwatches · Posted

      Hello good watch folk ,I  just fancied a light hearted discussion after my head was starting to spin over Epilame 😅. Specifically I'm meaning the sale of vintage watches, say nothing past the 1980s market. The stuff we see on ebay and other similar sites and found at carboots, curio shops etc. And are  we thinking its reaching a peak volume ?  Younger generations clearing out passed parents and grandparents possessions.  The younger folk are not as sentimental as the old fogies ( I'm now nearly at an age that i used to think was old fogie age ). When might it have started ?  i often wish i discovered the hobby much much sooner when selling your grandfathers pocket watch at a boot sale for a few quid was just a way to offload some tat. And when might it slow down. Thoughts anyone ?

      Epilame / Fixodrop

      By Neverenoughwatches · Posted

      Yes i did eventually realise that the oil will act as a barrier, I'm sure the discussion will continue. Ive had two oleophobic coffees ( added coconut ) and in the meantime i have this just delivered to take my mind off epilame for the time being. My favourite type of dial, its a beautiful looking watch traditional English made and it runs,  the ticktock is phenomenal,  i can hear it across my living room .  You wont believe how much it was. Thats interesting about synthetic oils , i thought the same, going from a 2 year service to 5 years is a big drop in income for service folk.  I expect some did well when they embraced the use of synthetic,  probably drawing in more customers than those that didn't use the new fangled substances , i bet fairly short lived though. The more frequent service makes more sense to me, not for just the service but for the regular check up inspections that might pick up impending faults. As far as epilame goes, wouldn't it be great to be able to fumigate the complete movement in a sealed jar of heated stearic acid, 🤔 now theres a thought 😅.

      AS2031-57E solar panel - mission: impossible

      By Albyon · Posted

      Imm going to close the discussion by attaching the photo of my super-titanium after several vicissitudes finally working. Purchased as not working I replaced the battery and for a stroke of luck I found its semi-new solar panel which, having verified its operation, seems to recharge the accumulator perfectly. I had taken this watch almost by bet, with 40 euros I brought it back to life. The initial half idea was to resell it to finance another purchase, but.. it's definitely a nice item. It would need to check the impermeability but it's a pleasure to see it on the wrist 😃

      Insert the movement inside the case

      By Albyon · Posted

      In fact the secret is to go gently and find the way without forcing, and the movement enters without problems
