MACHINING a WATCH CASE

Just had some fun during lockdown (its been 3 months now). Hope you guys enjoy the video. Please check out my store here for T-shirts and stickers: my-store-baa7a8.creator-spring.com/ Thank you, Calem

[@cavemaneca]

Am I seeing things or did you have some parts left over after you assembled everything?

[@mikemichelizzi2023]

@@cavemaneca most likely due to getting rid of the day/date complication

[@cavemaneca]

@@mikemichelizzi2023 that's what I figured, was just asking to confirm

[@ЕвгенийД-х3у]

you are real genius. thank for your job.

[@CoincidenceTheorist]

🎉 please make another watch.

[@Meatlips527]

This case is a work of art. Everything you did with it shows a mastery of the medium. The only problem I had was your service of the movement. Little too liberal with the oil in it. I suspect it will need to be cleaned again soon. Beyond that, I'm just gobsmacked on how beautiful the case turned out.

[@Larbydarg]

That is the most amazing delicate watch mechanism work from a guy who rebuilds lathes that I have ever seen. :)

[@joandar1]

Ca Lem, very good, I can see shades of Clickspring in this and expect him to drop in the comments too. Cheers from John, Australia.

[@stevebez9556]

I don’t think you realise just how good you are! Incredible bravery, patience, memory and ability. Love it!

[@adriaanvansorgen4977]

Sure, why not branch out to watchmaking? I can't wrap my brain around how you are able to expand your abilities. Amazing work guy! Thanks for sharing.

[@nefariousyawn]

Seriously, like it was just a casual whim, like there was a watchmaker hiding inside him this whole time.

[@MF175mp]

@@nefariousyawn I think he should make the movement as well, then it would be a real deal

[@jpsimon206]

Yeah this guy never ceases to amaze me! Everything he touches comes out perfect. And to think he's doing all this with horrible eyesight problems...

[@carlthor91]

What ever you do, they are most certainly not paying you enough.

[@owievisie]

He can sell this for 10K

[@jimurrata6785]

I see it's 4:20 over there too! All kidding aside, you are one of the most creative and talented Machinist's on KZbin.

[@mchiodox69]

Wow! Artist, Designer, Engineer and Craftsman......mad mad mad skills! Thanks, I enjoyed every second!

[@CachSoul]

Video editor also! He does anything!

[@jamesboggs5212]

Can't find words... thank you. Great to see you again. Be well Calem.

[@claudiolebandit9408]

I'm amazed by your hands skills. Everything you touch on your vids... Become better after your work. You re a truly talented man. Respect.

[@quanphi3636]

Wow. You had disassembled a mechanical watch then refinished it like a real watchmaker, even clean the power reserve coil. Good man! Tuyệt vời

[@k9elli]

This skill level is above and beyond! Thousands of people can run a machine shop- But I’ve never seen anyone just causally transition to horology- unreal!

[@chrischapel9165]

Cool...all that modern technology but yet, files and leather punches have a useful place in a Titanium watch...plus lots of TAPE!

[@Vinlaell]

I know I'm a budding hobbyist so I watch a lot of videos on machining but none I pride more than these Watching you make that chuck just blew me away I already knew that you were on a whole another level but damn

[@10gauge64]

Ca Lem. You are a true genius. Please keep making videos. You are not just a simple person, but a true artisan. This is incredible, please stay with us. We love our work.

[@EverettsWorkshop]

All I can say is wow. To have taken the watch itself down and refitted it is another level. Much respect!

Thank you. Please check your email sir. I sent you one 80 years ago.

[@EverettsWorkshop]

@ Lol, you rock, man!

[@wh0tube]

Thanks

[@EmmaRitson]

well thats not shabby. i like the screws. and I like the shape. impressed you took the shock protect out and got it back in. enjoyed very much.

Thanks Emma 😘

[@vandalsgarage]

This channel is criminally underappreciated (although not by those of us who are here). I've thought about doing something like this as a riff on the AP ROO.

[@mr.kumpuni7868]

You inspired me working on metals.. Thank you so much.. I always follow your video.. God bless you

[@Sazmadhi]

I can't say i like the square shape of it, but... Man, the work, the precision, the skills involved here are just amazing, impressive and hypnotizing (and i don't even speak about the filming and editing work!). I follow your work since almost the beginning of your channel, and you stepped up sooo much! Easily the best build video i saw on youtube this year. Thank you for sharing that!

[@joepie221]

Nice piece of work. I really like the little vise for the working on the case. You should be very pleased with that. ( subscribed )

Sir! You r probably the last one on earth subscribe to "the most handsome machinst"

[@DanielPerez-bn9bi]

I feel like you’re in a video game and every one of your videos represents a new boss that you have to beat in order to get to the next level. Amazing!

[@kennethgilbertdds7249]

i had to click back and forth in the video several times to get the picture. Excellent. Amazing work. Thank you for posting.

[@Critical_Path]

You are truly on another level, my friend. A rare young master. Your content is also absolutely premium. Keep it up

[@465maltbie]

Wow, made your own orings, thanks for sharing, you really have come a long way in the skills you have learned. Charles

[@MrPossumeyes]

Came from Ox Tools' precision vice post - many comments mentioned this guy as a suitable recipient for the give-away. I agree. Subscribed. (love that sexy steering wheel on the Bridgeport!!)

[@MACD119]

Cà Lem your level of skill and ingenuity is just incredible!

[@johanlindh737]

Long wait, but well worth it! Really beautiful and I like the one hole strap. Bravo Sir!

[@StillOnSteel]

I'm under a huge impression! Your skills are AMAZING!

[@outsidescrewball]

Super video production documenting an excellent build….IMO, amazing!!!

[@Coolbreeze6132]

Absolute craftsman! Amazing work mate

[@mynamisis]

I'm not really a fan of square watches but I love how clean this looks!

[@nathaniellangston5130]

Positively incredible! Definitely looks like a project my fumbly bumbly hands couldn't do!

[@dalejones4186]

That’s what I love about your channel. You are not afraid to tackle anything. You my friend are a true master.

[@robertnirenberg4556]

Anyone who has watched your channel for a while knows you have serious skill, but this is absolutely amazing! That watch is beautiful! And watching you work on such small scale parts on full size machines is no less beautiful.

[@davesmith9325]

Absolutely incredible. Robin and Stefan have hard competition !

[@jmtx.]

I'm just in time for a new video. Awesome control dealing with all those tiny pieces! A perfect watch for a machinist.

[@ramachandran8666]

That is one of the finest workmanship from the large machine to the tiny wold of a wristwatch. Now we want to see you build that Atomic Clock man

[@needfulthings2701]

Is that a gear at 17:00 ? Ok, when I repair my washing machine and then reassemble it, I always keep parts over.

[@mikeschiavone3622]

😁 so proud to have the bottle opener. No idea what I have cool enough for the stickers. Not only do you pretty much have every tool, but you have mastered them all!

[@carloszacarias4526]

Incredible work, I have a doubt: when the watch strap is being prepared i could see a little gear besides. Was that gear part of the original watch?

[@kazukarukelley]

Epic! What an amazing project! Really enjoyed watching you get to use all your tools to make a functional piece of art!

[@bdkj3e]

Fantastic work as always, I gotta say that because of my own tastes and slight OCD I'm not a fan of watches with no hour marks but I absolutely love the band having exactly one hole in it, really gives it a nice clean look that I've never seen in a watch before.

[@nick1bb1]

Totally next level! massive kudos to you mate!!!!

[@MattysWorkshop]

Gday Cà Lem, what a work of art, to pull a watch apart completely and put it back together and have it work is bloody amazing, I have trouble changing batteries on there own, you really like pushing the limits and learning, your got an amazing skill, throughly enjoyed watching every minute, thank you for sharing, Cheers

[@hilltopmachineworks2131]

Yeah if I took it apart there is no way I would have put it back together right.

Thanks Matty 🥰

[@JorgenLarsson]

Amazing and such a good way of bringing new life to an old movement

[@ifyoucantjointhem]

Outstanding! What a truely unique timepiece! Great video and a wonderful finished product 🤙

[@stujham]

Some big machinery for such delicate work, amazing to watch! 👍

[@craigtate5930]

[@deuce3485]

You are one very skilled young man. It is a treat and enjoyable to watch what you do. Keep up the great work. From the land down under. 🤣

[@bchdsailor]

Finally, been waiting for a video from you for too long No project is too small or too big, and you master them all This was impressing

Thanks man 😘

[@bgguy62]

Very cool, love the he design and your execution is, as always, spot on

[@ChrisUhlik]

It's a very rich man that wears a $200,000 watch. I think that's about how much it would cost to commission a piece of work like that! Nicely done. Incredibly nicely done.

[@mechniack]

Young man don't ever question your own abilities, outstanding, interesting, a joy to watch. 👍😁❤️

[@irfanashraf1238]

Excellent work as always. Your watch assembly work table gives me jitters.

[@sailwesterly5444]

I had to laugh at the "waterproof tester" - you've got a workshop equipped with every tool and all fantastic quality and then a coffee jar woth platic lid . . . Outstanding watch though. Well done.

[@captivenut4122]

Oh, the talent in this man...!!!

Good job. I am pretty sure DIY & Crafts will share this video on their channel...

Way braver than I am taking apart a watch. Turned out great!

[@ioandiazile]

Tu manos trabajan como una máquina de CNC y tu creatividad, habilidad y conocimiento son admirables eres un verdadero artista. Un saludo desde Veracruz Mexico.

[@EMMX39]

I love how the hole in the belt is not centered :) But man, you are an absolute artist!

[@aerial_camera_video_imaging]

Amazing industrial ingenuity

[@ICA17887]

Great job! Incredible talent 👍👍👍👍

[@protodad1]

Pretty amazing. What was the deal with the water pressure? Seating the glass in the watch?

[@ADBBuild]

I think he was checking to make sure water couldn't leak in. You can't just put it in a small amount of water as the weight of the water in day a pool or lake creates pressure, hence the compressed air he was using.

[@westweld]

Incredible man.......you made the screws 🤯

Thank you sir 🤓

[@cavemaneca]

Can't really much say I'd go with that design, but cool anyway! At least it was a good use of your time :D

[@JT-tz5hp]

I look forward to seeing your titanium watch build video that has the design you'd go with.

[@joeesparza6108]

I'm sure someone has mentioned it has that 'Bell & Ross' look but a bit tougher looking! Great work !

[@ВинтажнаяЭлектроника]

Красавчик!!! Смотрю твои ролики и такой дотошный до мелочей как и я мое уважение!!!

[@Preso58]

That was completely bonkers but I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it. It'd be a fearsome weapon in a bar room fight too. 😄👍🇦🇺

[@douglasharley2440]

lol, i was thinking the same thing about it being a useful weapon, especially when it had those corners! 🤕

That was the reason 🤓

[@ctoforhire]

Ok, now you are just showing off!!! ;). Damn this is awesome work, can't wait until the next video!!

[@cedartreeworkshop]

Wow - that's an incredible build! I'm speechless. Well done - looking forward to watching the next one!

[@ShotgunAU]

I absolutely love this, just blows my mind how awesome it came out bro, so good.

[@iridecsirke2166]

You are an artist in metal working I enjoyed watching your every single video

[@nostamine2567]

amazing work ... hahaahaha machining watches with the biggest machines in the shop :)) true precision right there, clickspring would be proud

[@ianpendlebury3704]

Truly amazing. You are fearless in tackling any project, big or small. There appears to be no limit to your talents and imagination.
