RUSTY Restoration - Abandoned 1934 wrist watch│Nicholas Hacko Master Watchmaker

[@Axel-Machrone]

Do you actually make watches or it is just the channel's name?

[@MasterWatchmaker]

I actually do make my own watches - see here: www.nicholashacko.com.au/

[@Axel-Machrone]

@@MasterWatchmaker Wow, great !!!

[@manasseskamau5327]

This kind of restoration will cost an arm and a leg.

[@eazye619]

The term watchmaker doesn’t necessarily mean he makes watches. You can get the title by doing watch repair

[@Axel-Machrone]

@@eazye619 Anyway he said he does make watches !!!

[@waynewillard1590]

Just amazing that a watch that has deteriorate over time can be returned to its former days, I have admiration for such skills and passing on your skills to your next generation, well done,

[@kelvynbettridge]

Loving it. It should be considered a privilege to have such a restoration completed, by such craftsmen here in Australia.

[@gromit1996]

It's gorgeous, sir. Thank you for saving this discard and making it a beautiful little timepiece again.

[@ossianhaufe4671]

The result is amazing, The watch is gorgeous. I like you explain what are you doing with all technical terms.

[@mikel.laughridge9480]

Nice to see such a transformation. Wow nice work on this vintage watch!

[@lndrvrus]

Not gonna lie. These are so relaxing to watch. Thank you for sharing. Only to wonder of the history of this timepiece.

[@eddietowers5595]

I like these restoration videos, there's no talking, just good jazz soundtrack. Like a dinner except with watchmakers restoration. as entertainment

[@jatco84]

Fantastic restoration...from a 'disaster' . Kudos to you and your work..

[@ashok5591]

Thanks, Nicholas Hacko. May you keep a name in yourself. ❤ I love watches, and so I looked at the restoration competently. I liked it .

[@MJ-jf9wv]

These videos are the highlight of my week, great job once again Master Watchmaker 👌

[@markadlaon4233]

He revived the engineering, craftsmanship, and history that were put into that watch. You’re amazing!

[@jordifernandezescobar3889]

Same for me, now close to a new confinement more than ever these videos are a truly inspiration and a relaxing moment, keep on doing, not going to miss the next one. Thank you for these moments. Greetings from Barcelona

[@patrieker2321]

A great restoration. I am amazed at your ability to give these pieces a second chance of life for someone who I hope will appreciate it. Pardon the pun but you got it running like a Swiss watch. :)

[@kswaminathan5439]

Superb restoration. Requires patience and thorough knowledge to bring back such beauties to life.

[@mdvl04]

I started watching because of the title. Great stuff and the music is a pleasant addition

[@ravenyangwenda368]

Those parts are numerous and microscopic. Sheer precision skill and patience. Meticulously done. Respect and subscription earned.

[@nerdly44]

Absolute masterclass in restoration. I like the the escape wheel has it's own bridge. Less nerve-wracking to get it set properly.

[@issaayoub7945]

Thank you for the light music with the video 🎶 and you are professional in ur work.

[@nomanluna983]

I love how you revived a timepiece from the past. I got teary eyed when you showed the before and after clip.

[@JohnBarrow1961]

Outstanding work, Nicholas. 👍

[@muonneutrino2909]

Piano jazz and watch restoration complement each other well. Nicely done, sir.

[@dantilden3896]

Thank you for showing me the smartest way to reconnect the hairspring!! I have fouled so many, but not any more!

[@shawnataylor7998]

Love to see restored and not tossed out! Thanks

[@allenrussell1947]

Nicely done. Oiling that dial side cap Jewel and flipping it over in one motion was art.

[@johnvaldez8830]

I KNEW it! So, glad you showed the replaced parts. I was on the edge of my seat waiting for it. Postitively phenomenal job on this restoration as bad off this watch was. Two thumbs way up!

[@xMrsmileyfacex]

That was a spectacular restoration. I love that era of watches. The style and font of the numbers on the face look really nice. Art deco era was very stylish.

[@mus1970]

Wonderful, another one back from beyond the brink. Thank you for sharing!

[@Invisible_Socks]

Love the music selection, Thank you for including the track names

[@lilacswithtea]

your bird assistant is very delicate and deft with it's beak

[@ginomattetti9215]

Orologio dal quadrante molto molto bello,lavorazione fantastica,complimenti

[@theaveragejoebody]

You are a master of the craft. I can't believe how therapeutic this was to watch. I'm thinking about getting my hands on an old pocket watch and start the learning process of this craft. You obviously make it look so easy but I know it isn't. I'm a little intimidated but I want to so badly bring back the beat of an old watch.

[@geibenbedivan3433]

My greatest respect for your outstanding excellent work an taste, also concerning the music you selected :) Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪

[@BarefootBoatworks]

Another fantastic video Nick! I spotted the use of the Chokamour chocolate box lid :-) Also spotted the left hand thread which must be a trap for young players. Masterful.

[@ChrisLee-UK]

Amazing! and that inscription is precious. Superb restoration...

[@notdonaldst]

Beautiful restoration! I had to laugh every time I saw your monstrous fingers pop into view. I was continuously surprised at how small the movement was.

[@pemtax557]

A tasteful and skillful restoration ... salvaging as much of the visible parts as you did gave this watch a wonderful visible impression. That, along it's new found internal precision, makes this piece one anyone would be proud to wear. Nicely done ... Cheers, dave

[@WhisperExtreme]

Perfect work. Nice that you conserve the watch´s originality the most you can. You even used the old hands.

[@bojidarvasilev8854]

Excellent video 👍👍 Thanks for sharing

[@dennisc.1189]

You could not ask for a better outcome, it is beautiful, great job.

[@martinross1140]

Well Done Nick! You are a true craftsman

[@matthewpierce5231]

Loved the black polish. You do such a good job! If I did anything close I wouldn't be able to let go of the watch. I'd wear it everyday andjust admire the job I had done!

[@cherrymaddox8226]

Chỉ cần Đức Phúc hát ballad thì dù buồn hay vui ĐP cũng truyền tải cảm xúc của bài hát rất tốt. Bài buồn thì nghe đúng kiểu tự sự, đau khổ, nghe là muốn khóc. Còn bài vui thì lại nhẹ nhàng, ấm áp, chân thành nghe là muốn yêu❤️

[@pbake01]

Came here for content, fell in love with piano jazz and the excellent work. Take my subscription. I can’t wait for more videos and other content.

[@davethursfield9283]

So satisfying to see something brought back to life like that. Well done Sir.

[@stefviljoen8928]

what a satisfying process. Thank you for sharing.

[@CHIBA280CRV]

Fantastic work and watch , excellent save 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@nikolaslarson6891]

Brilliant work. Lovely time piece.

[@wendyglasgow6394]

A super job, such skill. Virtually a clone of my own grandfather’s watch, which incidentally still works. Thank you.

[@sungaitelaga4214]

Both magnificent works and video!

[@MaximusRS3]

Love these videos. Such a peaceful way for me to wake up and start the day seeing your video on my notifications.

[@stephenhenion8304]

I was glad to see how you documented the replacement parts? I was wondering how many wouldn't be used over again!!👍👍

[@rolandgallone6513]

Superb to watch a master at their work!

[@amphibiousone7972]

Very nice watch worthy of restoration. Very nice restoration. 🫡

[@rololo88]

You are an artist Sir, what you are doing is beautiful, i enjoy a lot watching your videos! Thanks!

[@philspencelayh5464]

Fabulous job, once again.

[@SP-rv2fb]

Woah and the ending was like Star Wars. Great video and the suspense (Rolex) was mind blowing. I need the restored watch

[@PradeepYadav-db1zr]

Very good cleaning. It is surprising that you have original parts to replaced for, otherwise, such beautiful Swiss watches are turned into trash. There are hardly any meçhanics available now a days to repair such priceless Swiss watches. Keepon and rejuvenate such rare buties!

[@ThePipemajr]

Great Video! Filmed with care and great attention to detail. This the best it gets.

[@psmythe8525]

Such a pleasure to watch .....if I was 40 years younger , I would be knocking on your door for an apprenticeship

[@ignacioanaya3403]

Amazing restoration, thanks for share

[@mikeys2363]

Amazing love vintage watches an the storey they tell

[@gorflunk]

Bravo on leaving the face weathered and patinaed.

[@Nikki-tm2ck]

Nice to see another Nick in these trying times

[@darcybrawataakaontariostac6835]

Great job getting that watch working again

[@Sergeant_Fury]

Very relaxing and satisfying. I'd like to have seen the engraving on the back of the watch. A story there.

[@allysloper1882]

So far as I can make out it says "To Jim, from Dad & Mum 25 Nov '34"

[@KevinArcher100]

Absolutely stunning transformation!

[@RickTaylorpopnstart]

Really enjoy watching you do your work and enjoy the jazz too. Thanks for posting all these great videos!

[@franklincordeiro]

[@josepmariaaguascaribot9239]

A true 'tour de force' to any watchmaker. Congrats.

[@andyibbitson5342]

Another awesome transformation Nik, great work love watching these videos

[@SP-rv2fb]

The start of the video I Felt like seeing a James Bond movie. The music and the watch maker. Great job. I need this watch.

[@johnphan5002]

Excellent restoration 👍👍

[@chazzcombs]

Nice work! The uniqueness of that dial is amazing!

[@patring620]

Nicely done, Mr. Hacko. Really like true vintage, and you didn't disappoint. Enjoyed the Rolex teaser, too. Good stuff all around.

[@williamjames9515]

It must feel great to be able to do what you do. I love recycle and resuse. A pretty watch saved!

[@maxitodieguito1810]

What a great music & video !!!

[@PRNadh]

Excellent work done 👍 the same watch will work another 30 to 40 years.

[@rashidamin7241]

[@B4uneed]

wow. thank you! for the music, for showing us which parts you replaced, and the work is amazing.

[@knoppenbrock7282]

Well done Master watchmaker!

[@zzanatos2001]

I could swear I saw that little watch smile at the end.

[@theoldbigmoose]

I would have loved to have a close up of the back, I caught part of the increption "Dad and Mom"... I'm sure it told a story. Graduation watch?

[@glenh4971]

Just beautiful work.

[@simonpaley3421]

What a lovely watch and a great restoration you should be very proud of it!!

[@toboldygo5823]

Beautiful watch looks like it’s been at the bottom of the sewer since 1950🥴👍🏻✨

[@HAL-xy3om]

Nice work, thank you!

[@duckmcf]

Simply, simply lovely. 14:00 oooh you’re such a tease...

[@2Death9]

Rolex 3185 a GMT, looking forward to that!

[@alaashehab102]

Well done 👍 great job 😎

[@alfonsovelasquez4411]

Love to watch the videos with the great soundtracks!!!

[@benerabilis]

Great and not overrestored.

[@mrnmrn1]

Jim possibly got this from Dad & Mum for his 18th birthday on 25th March 1934 (or is it 25.12.34? Then for Christmas at whatever age...). Jim is probably gone, but his (t)rusty watch ticks again, 87 years later. Awesome!
