[@snafu673]

I would just like to say that you have taken the mystery and the complication out of the watch movements and Horology, I am hooked on this craft!

[@ChronoglideWatchmaking]

Likewise!

[@MexicoBeachFloridaLiving]

One of the top three videos you’ve done, kalle. Bravo. Well done. 👍

[@wayneholmes637]

That's the first time I've seen anybody explain the pivot differences. Excellent!

[@patricklogan8327]

Best watchmaking video I've seen in 4+ years of the hobby. Thank you very much. This information will stick with me always!

[@ChronoglideWatchmaking]

Wow, thanks!

[@nigelnorris1972]

It takes a genius to explain something in such simple terms. I'm really looking forward to the book when it's finished.

[@adi-1933]

Our watchmaker has become irresistible! He’s jollier, wiser and wittier than ever! He teaches me and puts a smile on my face! Thanks!😊

[@joetallon4968]

Excellent, excellent,excellent! And may I add, if you get frustrated just walk away for a little while. When you get back to it, it will make more sense and usually go right back together.

[@vytis513]

Thank you, Kalle. For me, the hardest part right now is figuring out the screws, especially when they look the same but are of different lengths.

[@SlickWillyTFCF]

That's still an issue for me too sometimes, but have you seen Kalle's video about screws? It helped out a lot. Edit: it's called "The Most Common Mistake in Watch Making" and is the fourth video in the "Watchmaking Tutorials for Beginners" playlist.

[@MagWatchTime]

@@SlickWillyTFCFscrews for me to , I always place them with the part they come from bridge ect…

[@vytis513]

@SlickWillyTFCF Yes, I saw that. However, Kalle explains which screw secures what, whether it clamps or centers. I’m having issues with the length of the screws.

[@SlickWillyTFCF]

@@MagWatchTime that's how I've dealt with it as well. The screws go with the associated parts in the divided tray. If i have to ill wash them together in batches too. I'm not yet to the point where I can put them all together and be confident I have the right one when the time comes.

[@larryscott3982]

Omg. I just said the same thing about the screws! I should’ve read comments before hand

[@WatchWiseUS]

It was like a lightbulb going off in my head. I'll never look at a movement the same way again!

[@donnyboon2896]

As someone who will retire in the next few years and be an amateur watch maker, this video is invaluable! Thank you sir!

[@James_K_L]

Kalle, what can I say that has not already been said? The logical explanations of the movement, wheels, pivots…I felt myself relax and get excited about working on movements. One of the most effective videos I’ve seen of yours. I owe you a coffee when I come visit The Netherlands!

[@ChronoglideWatchmaking]

So glad to hear and we’ll have that coffee!!

[@jamesherr6671]

I enjoyed this topic. I almost spit my coffee when you said "again... there is no shame in fishing" :)

[@Dyzon300]

[@ChoocherFronz]

[@allanpullin7435]

You just turned on the light bulb in my brain. Thank you for making things so simple.

[@morgansinner]

I'm so happy I've discovered your channel. I love old American pocket watches, Hamilton , Illinois, Waltham, Elgin. I have around 50, some work, some don't. I bought them because I love how they look. I have been wanting to attempt to repair them myself , though I have zero experience at my 60 year of age. You've helped me understand the basic underlying concern of all the wheels..it makes sense now. I only have my left arm, so I'm certain it will take me longer. I'll need to figure "how to hold it, etc" problems as I come to them, but at least my initial hesitation has been relieved. Thank you for your valuable time and expertise. Russ

[@rotorcraft5485]

Hi Kalle! This is the most easy description of a basic mechanical movement. Simple and efective for beginners. Thak you

[@horologyEnthusiast]

Excellent guidance for inexperienced tinkers like me.

[@Elfraty]

ah wat mooi. De echte vakmannen bestaan nog!!!

[@johnallen8146]

I have always focused on teaching the conceptual basis of all topics before filling in the details. That is also the way I learn best, so it is such a joy to see a watchmaker follow the same approach. After taking apart a Roamer 521 ( whilst watching your video) I was wondering if I could determine how to correctly put it together without having a clear understanding of the underlying conceptual basis of mechanical movements. Many thanks Kalle...😊

[@leewriter4656]

I'm bidding on a vintage watch. It isn't valuable, but is something I've never seen before. It has two Main Springs! So naturally, I have to have it!!

Very good introduction for beginner watchmakers. I think many found it very abstract when it is not. In basic it is not complicated but it there is no end how much you can expand this hobby or profession. That makes it so great. More short teasers for newcomers is excellent👍👍

[@andyhansen3117]

Awesome explanation! Helped me hugely!

[@cs-electronic]

Yes good explanation. I struggle sometimes with screws and small plates and levers, not knowing where they belong. So I do photos...

[@MichaelHeinrich1]

Hallo Kalle, ganz erstaunlich. Danke für dieses sehr interessante Video. 😊

[@larryscott3982]

… and taking notes and pics during disassembly removes a lot of questions. I think the real challenge is to track what screw goes where. And the keyless works and springs. There’s some trial and error. And only one arrangement works. Never force fit reassembly. But I’m no expert Very nice vid.

Thank you! Makes much more sense now. Started and stopped out of in trepidation. Even as my watches are not worth much. Still wanted to not screw it up.

[@waldoroeg9604]

Thanks Kalle. It’s the movement I’m learning on. I love your explanation and how it goes my thing is confidence. So when replacing the balance making the corrections for instance end shake or the depth of the palletts effecting the amplitude so one thing putting it together another thing regulating it so it keeps time 😊 I’m only 10 weeks in but still nervous!! Your video has helped me a lot.

[@ChronoglideWatchmaking]

You got this!

[@lucaconte9451]

You teach very Well, thanks!

[@MagWatchTime]

I found that really useful, as I still have to think about where wheels go sometimes, your so right we are in control learn the basics and understand the workings of a watch . Screws have caused me problems in the past.

[@N7492]

Excellent video! That said, Kalle has something that we beginners lack. Decades of experience. How to pick up, place, and remove/install tiny screws without them flying off into unfindable oblivion on the floor. How to not damage the hairspring. Ask me how I know! Which screws go into which holes. Assembly order of the many parts. How to get the right amount and type of lubricant into which bearing. How to clean the parts... All this can be learned with careful persistence and patience.

[@helloxuxu]

Really super content. Many thanks indeed my friend.
