This is a guy I have been watching on Youtube. He has some very good and interesting videos to watch some are for those just starting out.  Here is a a nice one from him about Tweezers. He has a very good one on watch oils and grease.  I have subscribed to his channel and I hope you will do the same.

Definitely a professional.  He is so far removed from those other videos you showed us previously, where the "repairman" went after parts with big pliers and carpentry hammers.  I like how he demonstrates and explains.  I am subscribing too.

Kalle (I think that’s the spelling) is a very nice guy on the videos! I love how he’s always smiling. Definitely good info

I have subscribed to this guy too I highly recommend. On one of his vids regarding regulation he sets a newly serviced watch to + 1 to +2 secs because over a period of a couple of years this will slow to zero. This is high end servicing.

I've been watching his work for a while now and he explains things really well. I've been advising my students to watch his work as well, especially about the tweezers and lubricants. Strangely enough, he uses the exact same lubricants I do, apart for the Kluber, but as they say 'Ask 10 watchmakers which lubricants they use and you'll get 15 different answers'

The intro is like something from a tv show but the instructional parts seem to be from a live training course. I'm 5 videos in and hooked, will be watching them all, great find!

Chronoglide's video on screwdrivers had a few interesting tidbits I found really helpful in my selecting my first good screwdriver set. I found it very interesting especially when he talked about how he actually handles/uses his fingers for screwing in screws on watches vs what he was taught in watchmaker school.

      Diagram for 6497 motion works

      By Jon · Posted

      Great diagram with the teeth and pinion count. Simple way to reduce the speed of the hour wheel by the 12:1 minute wheel. Genius and yet so simple. Always good to reinforce the principal by what you have done in your drawing. Keep doing that. I had a drawing on my wall for years showing me this which is very similar to the drawing you have done. Here's a formula to work out the beats per hour of a watch movement. The movement's BPH is dictated by the wheel teeth and pinion count and the hairspring being vibrated to the correct BPH by finding the pinning up point on the hairspring using a vibrating tool.  The reason in the formula there is X2 on the top line is because there are two pallet stones.

      So I just wanted to say "thank you" again.  The angle is the key bit it seems and yes, it did basically just fall, or float, back into position when I got it lined up just right.

      Introduction

      By Stirky · Posted

      Hello Horologists, thought I'd introduce myself. I'm a 50ish year old who has been dabbling in watches for a while, did a couple of BHI course here in the UK and have started to dabble at bit more. I also took the level 1 course, which was a good refresher. Now off to look at some Bergeon tools and then buy (and regret buying) the cheaper ones...    Stirky.

      Diagram for 6497 motion works

      By Stirky · Posted

      Hi All, I thought I'd draw a diagram to help me understand the motion works for an eta 6497 so I thought I'd share it here in case anyone else finds it helpful. Any corrections, please let me know! Hope it helps. Stirky.
