Making of a Watchmaker Tool
Over the past years I have been collecting a lot of tools. Most of them serve only one purpose. I wanted to create a tool which can replace most of these single tools. I had this idea for this particular tool several years ago. Lack of time was holding me back to make it happen.
Now it's time to create it. The process has several steps and all of them have to be executed precisely to get a good result.
I am replacing a
- Balance & Hairspring Holding Tool
- Stacking & Riveting Big Block
- Stacking & Riveting Medium And Small Block
Join me through the journey creating this beautiful tool which I made out of a simple brass sheet.
Hope you enjoy the video 😊

    Обслуживание часов , очень увлекательное занятие . Со родни ремонту или обслуживанию редукторов трансмиссии автомобилей , коробок переключения передач , с той только разницей , что если уронить шестерню редуктора , то трудно будет ее не заметить на месте её падения . С часами веселее , упавшую куда то деталь часов , порой приходится долго искать , и удаётся найти в самых неожиданных местах . Например выстрельнувшую пружинку противоударного устройства оси баланса , я нашел , когда посмотрел на себя в зеркало . Пружинка была у меня на брови . А в процессе её поиска , я исползал весь пол вокруг рабочего стола , подсвечивая себе фонариком . Настолько важна чистота рабочего места и хотя бы полтора метра вокруг него . Для этой профессии или увлечения требуется фантастическая усидчивость , аккуратность и терпение . А с возрастом , всё быстрее устаёт спина и неприятные ощущения сокращают время , которое можно усидеть за любимым занятием по обслуживанию механизмов . Лет сто назад и пятьдесят лет назад делали люди отличные часы , которые увы , стоили довольно дорого . А ныне их можно купить относительно не дорого , но все они нуждаются в обслуживании , а порой и в ремонте , поэтому умение обслуживать и ремонтировать часы сегодня ценится . Часов много , а хороших часовщиков всегда не хватает . Далеко не каждый желающий , может и захочет заниматься таким скрупулёзным занятием . Я умею обслуживать часы и имею для этого необходимый набор инструментов . Как ни странно , с интересом смотрю подобные видео . Возможно ещё и потому , что не все виды часов попадали в мои руки и мне интересно , как они устроены , и как их следует обслуживать . Сам до сих пор ношу механические часы , с удовольствием , хотя всё больше склоняюсь к мысли , что кварцевые часы проще в эксплуатации . В разное время , при разных условиях ношу разные часы . Главным образом , чтобы уберечь ценные для меня часы от ударов или замыкания ими электрических цепей , когда работаю с электрическим оборудованием , находящимся под напряжением .
