Hi there! I'm new to the hobby, though my dad was an avid collector of pocket watches for many years, unfortunately I sold probably 90% of his collection after he died. Now I'm taking my first careful steps into it myself after itching to do something practical with my hands as I await to open my own metal and woodworking workshop.

I refound the hobby due to binging videos from the Wristwatch Revival channel on YouTube, and felt like it would be interesting to take a crack at all this myself. I also run the Switch & Lever YouTube channel, where I do all sorts of projects in wood, metal, 3d printing, programming, electronics and much much more. Not going to drop a link, as I don't want it to be seen as spamming, but it's easy to find with google 🙂

Hope to learn a lot from all of you! I'm about to post a watch I just picked up at a flea market today, to seek some helpful tips and tricks on how to go about it, and how to identify the movement. 

All the best!

      Informational universe.

      By Nucejoe · Posted

      I am sure you agree that,    " physical reality is actually made up of structured information "  which defines the states energy may  realize in prescribed  states.      Universe is committing suicide then most of its functions stops, but what we know as  gravitation remains, thus ( as he concludes)  gravitation proves of no essence  for actualization  previous functions universe used to work according to.   No doubt mathamtic systems man has deviced  is basic and not neccessarilty correct . But if universe is informational,  its also computational.   Then we have something thats has no essence and computation systems indicates it as virtual.

      Oh that is lovely, thank you. I also just cracked the crystal and lost one of the shock absorbers, so its gone in the separate baggy of 'maybe-one-day' 😄 I did learn the valuable lesson of not disassembling the shock absorbers. My next one is a Zaria 1509B. I think this one I'll take a bit more time with cause I'll need to source a couple of bits. It's also scary teeny.

      Elgin Grade 315: Runs/stops with dial down/up

      By docrpm · Posted

      More data on the oscillation tests: Vertical: 15-20 seconds…Abysmal Dial up: 1 min 15-30 seconds Any thoughts @nevenbekriev @JohnR725? My next thought is to oil the balance jewels to see if that helps. It’s certainly one major thing left that I haven’t done.
