A gear for a certain automatic winding mechanism eventually gets it's teeth ground off. The parts are long discontinued, so I'm cutting 40 of these to be mounted on the original pinions.

    Having watched hundreds of hours of watch repair videos, and starting to teach myself machining, I’d always been intrigued how so many pocket watches were produced in the 1800’s to such a high precision - without a cnc or micrometer… I now have a better understanding of both the skill and artistry that watch production required

    I've been wondering how this is done for years! I've finally found a video of someone doing it, and the answer as I guessed is "with a great deal of care and patience". No shortcuts for this work, just an experienced hand and a trusted process.

    Just fantastic. Well done. Three hundred years of experience yields some amazing results in the hands of a craftsman. Love the free hand graver work. Thanks. You made my morning.

    It’s so amazing to see a wheel made by hand for a watch, I would love to learn but I can’t even imagine the price of the machines needed to make these parts

    I typed in; "how tiny watch parts are made" ! I was expecting to see machinery turning them out by the hundreds. Thanks for the great video!

    This is truly amazing. I wish I had the patients to do this type of work, so I'll just stick with larger gears, lol. Thanks for sharing your skills. It's really cool.
