This is a document showing the work of a watchmaker, which mainly consists of distribution, cleaning and checking the wall clock. It is a clock brand "Gustav Becker".

Мужик,огромное тебе спасибо! Ну прям низкий тебе поклон. Ты последовательно разбирал часы,а я проматывал твое видео назад и последовательно собирал свои такие же часы.Добра тебе)))

He needed a proper mainspring let-down tool. You make one out of the winding key and a piece of broomstick. You also need--and there's really no substitute--a safe mainspring winder to remove, clean, and replace the mainsprings. You can make one, but it's necessary. Otherwise the water that got into those barrels during the boiling will rust the mainsprings solid. As for boiling, he'd be better off taking the parts to an auto mechanic and placing them in the parts washer. And yes: the first step in dealing with any clock or watch with a mainspring is to let that mainspring down gently and safely. And yes: there are dozens of clock repair videos accessible to this gentleman, for I assume if he wants to make them (preferably with his hands in view of the viewer next time) he can watch them as well. For further edification see the clock repair section at NAWCC.org.

Báječné! Ten strojček som volakedy mal! Ďakujem!

[@lottaleijon6654]

Very relaxing to watch. 💐

[@paulorobertopachecodias3896]

Congratulatios. Perfect cleaning.

[@shuancook9005]

Great running commentary 👍😆

[@adamasz54]

Good job + depicting. Pity for lack of commentaries during actions! Some of us are watching them first in our life. Dobra robota + obrazowanie. Szkoda, że brak komentarza podczas czynności! Niektórzy z nas obserwują je pierwszy raz w życiu.

I am curious. When you assemble all of parts separation, how you remember all part put together. One mistake can be destroyed the movement.

[@BoeingSkunkWorks]

That is the exact same movement I worked on yesterday replacing a clock spring and pendulum suspension spring. Any idea how old this movement is? Disassembly is the easy part, how do you remember where all of those parts go back without a photo? I would love to start working on these as a hobby, but not without exploded views or three dimensional drawings of what goes where. My father worked on clocks as a hobby while we were stationed in Germany. He bought them dirt cheap from roadside antique stands and brought them back to our quarters and cleaned and re-oiled them. He also refinished the cabinets if needed, and replaced glass.

[@user-em4hv5fq3k]

So after I finish cleaning the parts they will magically reassemble themselves! I am working on a Becker (with weights not springs)and having a dickens of a time getting the two plates back together...hard to get all the gearworks in their respective bearings.

[@Raj-nh3fc]

Very nice, thank you. Now I can attempt to clean my GB spring driven wall clock. Could you be kind to show us the cleaning, oiling and reassembly of GB regulator clock with weights. Thank you once again.

[@rhigh8554]

I'm with oldhippy - an amatuer like this shows the WRONG methods and could lead to someone doing more damage, especially taking the pallets out BEFORE letting down mainsprings power.

[@user-bj8gr1vl3f]

Hello Jaroslaw, Good Job. What substance do you clean the parts of the watch with?

[@yhwe100]

From the casing design, this is likely after 1940s' They are more simple and straight forward. Interesting that the movement is very much the same as P24 used in early 1900s. They don't use enamel for clock face like the earlier models. Great clock.

[@colsanjaybajpai5747]

Before opening the pallet and pendulum you must let down the main springs. You are lucky escapement wheel teeth did not get damaged

[@josemassiolo9110]

Hola, como puedo ver un vídeo del armado de la máquina? Muchas gracias

[@TomTom-up1kz]

very good work thanks for you

[@vincekrivsky8266]

I have one almost identical to this one, how old do you think it is?

[@mtrimble4024]

Please show how to put everything together again

[@brendacallow6866]

Very helpful. Thank you.

[@carolcichon4827]

Should the weights be left up or down during vacation time when I turn it off?

[@colsanjaybajpai5747]

can you give me the sizes of the main springs time and strike please

[@Lars_Rainer]

Czy można naprawić poprzez zanitowanie pękniętą sprężynę?

[@andronkulimov573]

День добрый, скажите пожалуйста, в чем варите, сколько по времени и что добавляете ?

[@livamg3541]

Alguien me podria decir la medida del pendulo

[@user-hi4ki4kt7e]

добрый день, в каком растворе моете механизм?

[@user-yi2mi6tw7j]

раствор называется вода))) какой был грязный мех. такой и остался смылась грязь от воды а вот патина осталась.

[@tomasztyrka6361]

[@Deh543]

為何拆得這麼累?直接用清潔劑跟水洗沖乾淨後吹乾,比較安全

[@tomasztyrka6361]

To na zębatce sercowej czy grzebieniu

[@saeedkhan202]

What about cleaning with WD 40.

[@user-tj2th1sf1r]

Уважаемый, куда Вам перевести деньги на нормальный инструмент... Ну нельзя работать такими отвёртками... а кусачками гайки отворачивать... А так, за видео большой плюс!

[@AdamMroziuk]

Wszystko OK ale odkręcanie nakrętek za pomocą ucinaczek czołowych to barbarzyństwo. A bębny to bez czyszczenia sprężyn? Czy były gotowane w całości bez otwierania?

[@JaimeVelazquezlucana]

En la condicion que se encuentra ese reloj de muchos años sin mantenimiento y no abrir los tambores para la limpieza de los resortes o muelles , no hay garantia para su buen funcionamiento . Y no solo eso , despues de lavar los resortes y antes de engrasarlos se les da un estiron (para que tenga temple , ya que la mayoria como el reloj del video lo necesitan ) para su mejor empuje y fuerza en el desarrollo de sus ruedas y la culminacion de sus dias

[@valeriymanuylov9432]

Ставлю лайк за хороший ролик и моя подписка, спасибо.

[@saeedkhan202]

It's easier to disassemble but not easy to assemble again lots of parts

[@PiotrK2022]

Ja pierdzielę, nie dałbym komuś takiemu zegara do wyczyszczenia. Wolę samemu zrobić, bo mam troszkę pojęcia i udało mi się nawet jednego Beckera uratować. Muszę mu tylko jeszcze łożysko wstawić w przekładni bicia, bo w jednym miejscu się wytarło w jajo.

[@laniddog]

You should get a proper let-down tool for this. It can have serious Consequences if something goes wrong

[@nikon2704]

3:51---- it´s secret, please ?

[@chinhcotv4399]

OK !

[@user-ck3zw4kx1n]

Ну как можно все это запомнить, чтобы потом все обратно собрать..?

[@user-fn2sv7hr4c]

Фотографируй на смартфон, я так делаю.

[@dannyhightower5531]

Looks like a blind mans clock.

[@user-kp6pr6vp5s]

това.което го показват не е точно тека при разглобяването махна. детаили които никой часовникар не сваля защото е ненужно .

[@frajtak5]

ok
