It Took Me One Year To Finish This Restoration

[@MagicWatchmaking]

I restored this wristwatch. The watch suffers water damage and heavy wear. The case has no shape at all and the gold plating is totally damaged. It took me one year to finish this restoration. A lot of parts were rusty and had to be cleaned, repaired or replaced. I made one step forward and two backwards until I got all parts done. The huge challange was to reshape and restore the case without damage it. Finally I was able to finish the restoration of this lovely watch. Here we are... enjoy watching 😊 Please turn comment on!

I have NOS EPSA cases that may would fit if you wanted. Same shape.

Indeed a year well spent. It is an heirloom quality timepiece in which to be proud. This was more a resurrection, than a restoration. Well done.

Thank you for sharing, great work and beautiful watch. Although I personally would have kept the original dial and date ring. The "TEMPOMATIC" in particular had a really nice look on the old one.

Fair enough! Thank you for watching ☺️

[@robertjordan7323]

Looks great at the end, thanks I enjoyed. Just curious about the dial, is the dial at the end a replacement or did you have someone restore/clean the original dial?

[@MagicWatchmaking]

The dial was professionally refreshed but is the same dial. Thank you for watching ☺️

[@heinrichhemker8123]

Super!

[@MagicWatchmaking]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@JoseReyes-jt6ob]

Muchos aciertos en este excelente trabajo felicidades. Solo 2 cosas no me gustaron los números del fechador son más pequeños que el original y la palabra tempomatic también está más pequeña y en diferente tipografía. Por lo demás una excelente resucitación de una gran bella pieza y con un trabajo muy cuidado. Salú2 desde Puebla México.

Hello! Could you tell me please what watch movement is pictured in your KZbin channel’s profile photo? It is absolutely stunning!! So much beautiful metal work. I think one of the techniques used for decorating the movement is called “damaskeen?” (at least in the U.S.). Keep up the great work!!

[@MagicWatchmaking]

This movement is a Buren calibre 1321 equipped with 30 jewels. It is an artifact of history and innovation, dating from 1962 and has automatic micro rotor and date indication. It is only 3.2mm thick ☺️ It is also the base of the iconic Breitling calibre 11, the Chronomatic/project 99 Consortium uniting Heuer-Léonidas SA, Léon Breitling SA, Hamilton-Büren and chronograph specialist Dépraz & Co. This joint-venture conceived the Calibre 11 (or Chronomatic, depending on the brand using the movement), a modular construction based on a micro-rotor Buren movement and a Dépraz chronograph mechanism. A Master engraver located in Germany engraved it for me, and both of us built after that a Breguet looking dial and and watch case. This watch is unique and limited to one out of one worldwide 🤗

[@Jimmauger]

What did you use to clean, polish the dial hands? Awesome video

[@MagicWatchmaking]

Polishing compound: Menzerna M5 Super Finish (Dry) for the watch hands. The dial was refreshed professionally by specialized company. Thank you for watching ☺️

[@boydsargeant7496]

Great job! How come you changed the balance complete?

[@MagicWatchmaking]

The old balance is bent/damaged and I think it‘s not original. Thats why I replaced with original one. Thank you for watching 😊

Super nice work from you, very interesting to follow the work from scratch until the end. Thanks fpor saring this video, it ave me inspiration to restore two old Vacheron Constanine I have. I checked them up and ity's nothing special extra valuable, so I will take the risk to for the first time in my life me myself restore one of the super-brands of the world (V.C. for sure is one of the five supoer brands... AP, Breguet, JLC, Patek and Vacheron (no, I don't see Rolex as a super brand)

[@MagicWatchmaking]

Thank for sharing and kind work. Good luck for your restoration project. Have a great day
