Marshall restores another vintage watch, this time it's his most complicated watch yet; a Chronographe Suisse chronograph from the 1950s! He's been studying up on how to service these complicated watches for a while and it's finally time to dive in. This one was purchased on eBay as "for parts", and it proves to be quite the project!

    • Marshall, I've enjoyed watching your videos immensely, and would like to offer a challenge. I own a Swiss pocket chronograph with a beautiful Brevete 359 movement. This piece belonged to my grandfather, and I acquired it upon his passing when I was ten years old, I am now eighty five. The watch was in working order for many years, but not anymore, and is complete, less crystal. Would you be interested in taking a look and perhaps using this piece as the subject of a video? Thank you.

    • Whether framed as technology or electronics, humans are no more intelligent on average than our species was 100,000 years ago. We just know and understand more, but the central processor is still the same. Technologically, we existed in a relatively slow pace of change for millennia. Access to the necessary materials and refinement just didn't exist. Notice when the ability to generate abundant power caught up with our understanding of material sciences, our development just took off. Then came electronics and computers. We've developed at a staggering pace over the past 100 years and really, most of it, the past 30 or so. Where will we plateau? Who knows. If we manage to survive our technological infancy, then I believe we will achieve some remarkable things as a species in the future.

  • Hey Marshall, happy to see that you’re attempting chronographs! I have a lot of experience on these 48 based movements, and am trained and certified for them, so I hope you can take these points to improve your next Landeron chronograph. 11:48: this was not a little bit of wind, this was quite a bit of power, and combined with the lack of lubrication, this could have seriously damaged the pivots, and in worst case ruined the pallet stones. This was just very dangerous. Try to pay more attention and always let down the spring. 14:38: this main spring should absolutely be replaced. It doesn’t lay flat (so will rub against the barrel roof and floor) and is very tired. A modern spring is also more consistent in force. So get a modern one, but whilst measuring the old spring, take a modern one that is a bit THINNER!!! Very important as modern springs are substantially stronger. 18:14: did you grease the main spring? Didn’t see you doing that but maybe you did it off camera. In any case, it’s very important. 18:59: that is a ton of grease on that screw. That will just walk itself between the bridges over the years, there is just no need for that much grease. Later you also put too much oil under the crown wheel. Again, it’s messy, so try to use just as little as needed. I also didn’t see you lubricate the click, which again, is very important. Could have happened off camera but still, it should be mentioned. 21:00: did you check the play of the center wheel and the bridge? These are almost always worn out, and should be fixed as the difference between horizontal and vertical amplitude would be too great without. 23:25: you should grease (again, very little) this eccentric where the lever bridge pivots around. Every single metal chronograph part that pushes against another one NEEDS grease. It will wear out very quickly. So the hammer need a tiny bit of 9010 on the ends (don’t oil the heart cams with HP1300, this gives too much drag. Just oil the hammer ends), and all the levers need a *little* bit of grease on the touching surfaces. Also a little tip, hammer goes in last, makes for much easier assembly. 27:05: you did grease the hammer spring, but that was again way more than needed, and smothered all over the bridge, please use less and take more care when applying. 29:55: yes that’s a mistake, but a very small one. No worries, everyone has done that. 31:00: again with the grease, please use less, you are using way too much. Keep it tidy and just use a little. This is the last time I will mention the grease as I think you get the point. It is just every time you use grease. 31:15: you missed the post and oiled the bridge. That’s not where it is needed. 35:51: your jewels are not clean, and you don’t want to oil the minute counter. That just adds unnecessary drag, and it doesn’t move often. 36:01: that was just messy oiling. Keep the oils in the cups. 38:50: it is easier to oil the top capjewel if you assemble the balance bridge and then oil it with the pass-through method. 41:46: you didn’t oil the clutch bridge wheel and post. Give the wheel pivots on both sides some 9010, and the post a little grease so the clutch bridge pivots nicely. 42:20: the top second wheel (the one you press on the second wheel) is pressed too deep, it needs to align perfectly with the clutch wheel. The teeth also should mesh for 2/3-3/4ths of the way, not all the way. 42:42: very important that they DO NOT mesh all the way, but should be 1/4-1/3rd at most meshed (looking at the chronograph seconds teeth). 42:48: don’t oil that spring of the minute counter. Again, that’s not a wear point and adds too much drag. 43:40: great work on those adjustments! These are tricky, and you did great. I hope you checked the pull-back adjustment of the lever bridge in reset mode, and also the adjustment of the minute counter spring in reset mode. Then finally I wanted to add that you need to take more care in where you place the hands. Because they should be dead right on 0 when the chronograph is reset. Not somewhere around it. I hope to see you tackle more chronographs in the future, it will be interesting to see you learn.

    • Currently training in the SAWTA program, Im glad to have finally found someone else in these comments who knows what theyre talking about. Many of these things are oversights which need to be understood conceptually rather than on a case by case basis, like not keeping oil in the jewel cups. most people just think its a cleanliness issue, which it is, but its also because the capilary attraction could lead the oil between the bridge and jewel or spread to other places it shouldnt be. Same thing with mainsprings. People dont understand the implications of spring flatness or the barrel endshake or the arbor endshake on the amplitude. this is all stuff that NEEDS to be checked which is why I get worried when i see how popular these videos are becoming since I know people are following them for tutorials.

  • Just wanted to say thanks. I went ahead and did Patreon. I don't know much about watch making, but I quit alcohol in 2014, then switched from smoking to vaping where I turned into a full hobbyist making all kinds of very intricate coils. I already enjoyed working on little intricate things where I spend 15 hours working on a 10 inch length of wire. Finding your channel working on these watches has been an absolute joy. I never considered working on watches until I found your channel. I've seen a few other channels, but I keep coming back to your videos. The work you do is incredible, and no one can match your presentation. I don't know if I'll ever be good enough to do the kind of work you do, but you have given me a new fascination, and something that I so enjoy watching. I'm a custom residential cabinet maker and I enjoy working with wood too, obviously, I guess because I own a cabinet company, but I just find this so intriguing, and already being in the vape wire art world the intricate work on tiny things falls right into the kind of things that I love. The things that keep me sober, and the things I love doing. Thank you for making these videos. I hope I'm able to offer some contribution to your work, and I'm so glad that I found this. Maybe one day I'll hit up ebay and buy some cheap mechanical watch and try my hand at working on one. Thanks again. I really enjoy watching your work!

I even searched your channel for "chronograph" to no avail. And at that point, I thought to myself "well it's probably because they're so much more complicated". And yet here you are, not a day later posting up your first chronograph watch repair. I can't wait to watch this and I really appreciate your candidness and humbleness about your current skill level.

Reminds me of a story back during the Apollo space race days where NASA had drilled the smallest hole in the world and sent out samples of the drill bit to anyone they thought would be interested in it. They had sent one to a watch company in Switzerland and in a few days it came back...no note accompanied the bit and everyone was confused until someone looked at this microscopic drill bit under a microscope. They had drilled a hole in it and sent it back!!! That was such a monster move! :)

  • Congrats on completing your first chronograph! And what an amazing watch to do it on. The dial is awesome, it has a very vintage vibe to it (and of course it is very vintage so that fits). Love the videos and the narration. Keep up the great work!

  • You’re the reason why I learned to service my automatics. You’re also the reason I’ll never work on a chronograph. That looked easy while you did it, but my wife and I had to pick our jaws up off the floor several times watching it go back together.

  • i've been waiting for this day to come! i've seen enough of your videos that i understand pretty thoroughly how an uncomplicated swiss watch movement works, so i've been hoping for an increase in complexity for a while now. thanks!!

  • The more of these videos I watch the more I want a mechanical watch (preferably one where the movement is visible), but at the same time I'm reminded how much work goes into servicing them, and since I've already made the rock solid decision to stay away from watchmaking I'd have to pay someone to do the service for me, and judging by what I've seen in ur videos that would be pretty expensive. And the watch itself would probably already cost me a fortune to begin with.

  • Thank you for the video. Vintage Watch Services released his video on this exact same model about 12 days ago. His video has some in-depth history on the watch. Keep up the good work.

  • Absolutely love this! It's great to expand your knowledge & skills (and ours vicariously!) and chronographs are something I've been fascinated by myself. Gorgeous dial, and it's fitting that the font & layout reminds me of the old stopwatch I have from my dad who used it for pace notes when he was rally driving... I still pull it out of the drawer to use in preference to a digital one because there's something special about the weight & ticking sound from a mechanical stopwatch. Brilliant job! 👍

  • I have just found your videos this December and have been hooked but was anxiously awaiting a chronograph, because like you that is my favorite watch complication. Keep up these videos they are amazing and have given me a push to begin watchmaking myself, first as a hobby, and who knows after.

  • It amazes me that your videos are all almost an hour long yet when I sit down to watch it, they all feel like they're just a sub 10 minute video. Watching you work is just fascinating and enjoyable in it's own way. I kinda want to get into this hobby but man, I don't think I have the patience to actually work on stuff smaller than my thumb.

  • Neat! Some time ago I watched a video on rehabilitating a stopwatch, so it's interesting to see that movement conjoined with the regular watch movement. I also think it's great that you're offering watch repair tools and such for other folks wanting to pursue this kind of work.

  • I believe I have only commented here one other time but feel compelled to do so again. The aesthetics of this swiss chronograph are drop dead gorgeous! During the video I kept thinking where have I seen these ravishing colors before and why are they affecting me so strongly?! I am an artist and am not easily so moved, even by particularly sightly or stunning things but I have finally remembered and figured out why I am so reactive! That spectral combination of warm coppery golden hues is what you see when - for example - you drizzle honey on top if a creme brulle due to the gradient caramelization of sugars which is the most resplendent example of the already handsome Maillard effect that I can think of! Lastly, I ended up using so many synonyms for the word "beautiful" in this comment that I had to look up some more after editing and will put the left overs here in no particular order: picturesque, exquisite, comely, lovely, pretty, scenic, bonnie & pulchritudinous(!?)

  • Its great to see the past two videos you moving out of your comfort zone and developing your skills. From replacing the jewels in the last video to working on a chronograph in this one. Not to mention your explanations on the workings and new techniques you've shown us. Yet another excellent, excellent video. Marshall, thank you. BTW love the dial. It took me a while to come around to a dark color face with black lettering and hands but when you put the strap on it it worked. Very much so.
