So helpful I now have 2 outa 9 working. EBABCOCK

Just found this video while looking for answers. Hope you don't mind a question, I would greatly appreciate your help/input. I just received a watch with an Elgin 7640023 from 1899. I would imagine this is a pocket watch movement (small) that was re-purposed in a watch case. My question is this, I figured out I have to push in the crown and wind while pushed in. When I pull out the crown to set the time it is very very easy for the crown to come out al the way in my fingers. I have to wiggle it and find its way back in, then get to a position where I can set the hands and leave it. The crown stays in, turn sideways stays in. But if I pull it to set the hands it comes out too easily. I notice in your video that the pendant set has that pendant part and appears that it would keep the crown from falling out. Is this normal that if the pendant part is not there it is very easy for the crown to slide all the way out? Or should it be more difficult to come out even in my example? Again, thank you so much for your "time". :)

I have a 1920s standard electric clock I just purchased from an antique dealer in Reading Pennsylvania, he purchased it from an action in New York . He had no idea if the clock ran or not but I took a chance on it because it was all original. I did get the clock to run but im concerned if it has the original pendulum on it , the pointer is past the scale at the bottom , the clock runs perfect and keeps time to the minute with my watch . How can I send you pictures of my clock to give me your opinion. Thank you in advance!

Before you go any further, you're going to have to bring back waistcoats (vests). Right now, in Europe, you're going to struggle to sell an Omega, one hundred year old solid silver pocket watch in near perfect condition, for more than the cost of the silver scrap value.

great video, thanks

Just looking on KZbin & see you have a few E Howard clock videos, I have two large bronze E Howard clocks that came from the Cunard building New York 1900’s would t you like to see them ?

Thank you for this video. I learned some new details about railroad watches from your video.

I love pocket watches but I only have the crappy Walmart watches

An old Pakistani guy I bought a heap watches off showed me if the watchway and going it's wound up to hold it on wind and shake it so it starts moving and then hold it till the second hand goes around a couple of times and then it'll be fine and I it's true it works cheers Graham

I have a 1900 Flagg pocket watch but can’t find anything on it.

I have the exact same watch. I set the time & it works, but then it falls behind on the time.☹️

of the hamilton or any brand, is there any certain year range where they were making their best watches? Are there pocket watches made in our time that are better than the old railroad watches?

what is the brand and specs of the watch in your hand at 1200? And what would one cost? thanks

how often do you have to wind the hamilton

This was very helpful.

Awesome presentation! I'm so curious about this clock's features and function, knowing nothing about it. I'll go back and search for your previous video of the total rebuild of one like this. I don't understand the purpose and operation of the tape drive. And curious to know why the clock runs on 24 volts instead of 120. My apologies, I"m new to all this!!!! Love your channel and all your episodes!!!! Thank you!!

I've been dealing with a Siemens-Halske 1959-ish master clock and been struggling with how would I maintain it since it needs a complete cleaning from old improper grease. Thanks to your video I just now realised that the pendulum and the mechanism are not connected, just engaged! That helps a buch. Seems obvious in hindsight! thanks

Liked and subbed Edgar Rice Burroughs (Tarzan, John Carter, etc.) powned his watch when he was 35. Leads are welcome :)

Thank you so much! I was worried I'd just bought a cheap piece of junk watch at a festival, but now it's going!

in the early 2000's I stayed at a house with a master slave clock setup, possibly from a post office, I recall the slave clocks being wired in series, possibly something similar would happen for these

Дякую вам за працю,це є цікаво 😊❤

I love u watches❤❤❤❤

You have been an amazing force for me to meet. I have a love of clocks from my father who never really took me through a process like this. We also shared a love of boats. I am having so much fun learning with you. Thank you. I have 3 wall clocks with carved wooden cases that I inherited and look forward to finding a video that might help me. I am 80 yrs old and would love to at least start soon!!

This was amazing! Thank you!

Nice video

Cool. I have an old Kellog Emergency Bell I need to do something with, Thanks for the info. Peace and Love to you and yours.

In conductor training for the CSX in 1998, I recall they had no criteria for a "railroad watch." They told us there was standard RR time, and it was the train crew's responsibility to adhere to it. I believe you could check the time via radio. I was in freight service, so time was only critical if you had a track warrant valid between certain times. When you accessed the company computer, for example to clock in and out, the computer put the time in for us.

I’ve just purchased one of these and it is a thing of beauty. You explain brilliantly how it works. Thank you. I am astonished how well it keeps time - mine gains a couple of seconds a week. The massive spring and fusee driving the time recorder is astounding.

Hello, I just found your video. I have 2 Walthams, and I have 1 Hampden. I'd love to find out more. The Hampden has a 1901 date engraved on the front cover and a small church engraved on the back cover. It has Stars between Roman numbers and the hands are gold tone. The cover is gold filled. Can u tell me and info and possibly value just from my description? Thanks.

I worked for Standard Electric Time from 1972 to 1978. I trained on the "60" beater clocks. I have some service data. International time became Simplex. Standard was always standard. Standard was owned by Johnson Controls in the 70's. Standard was sold to Faraday. Faraday was eventually adsorbed into siemens. The Standard products were discontinued.

I had friend who worked for the railroad.

Can you imagine every conductor having watches perfectly in time?

Good to hear the voice of my friend.

What type of material are you using on your sander?

Good video!

Thank you so much for putting this video out there. There is nothing in the way of a calendar movement video explaining parts except this one. I have a Waterbury Calendar no 43 that needs work. Totally different patent and style, no lever, single rod down, but this helps me get an idea of what does what. Thank you again.

Great video. Thanks for sharing

great video

great investment 👌 i got in 2019 a fusee 18k solid gold for a 650$ now 2024 not less than 2000$ and can reach to 3500$ easily ,an open market for been rare and unique also after time goes by

I❤

Thank you for that! Is it possible to learn anything from a serial number on just a bezel? I do not have the rest of the watch, as I found the bezel metal detecting and there were no other pices nearby.

Is that kingstone cover gold

I believe I have an example of one of the watches in your collection. Bottom right in the case. Elgin 166?

I came here with just the question of why there are two gears and got a quick answer here thank you!

OUTSTANDING explanation of this movement. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

Дякую вам за працю 😊❤
