As a watchmaker service your watch when it starts to loose or gain say 30 seconds per day. True that the worn parts will be more worn but those parts are always replaced during a service anyway so the cost will be the same. Ad for watch winders, it's better to leave the watch with the spring unwound when not in use. Modern oils don't dry up so in theory it will be the same in 5 years if untouched. Remember that the watches aren't getting worn out in the shop windows. The only time a winder could be useful is if you have a complicated watch such as a perpetual calendar that are a pain to set

@stephens2r338 Ай бұрын

Just to add one more point. Maybe it's good advice to take your watch to a watchmaker every few years and ask them to place it on a time graph. Takes only a few seconds and they will do it for free. As long as the amplitude is good the the watch is fine 🙂

I value a winder that supports a daily cycle, consisting of a period of winding and a period of rest. This allows the watch mainsprings to back-off from being fully wound. I schedule the rest period to occur at night, so that any watch that I happen to wear remains in daily sync with those left in the winder.

@MarcoFerranteWatches Ай бұрын

This is perfectly sound reasoning and very safe for your watch. At the end of the day watches are meant to be worn so it's perfectly fine to keep it on a winder imo so long as you follow good practices like this. Hope you enjoyed this 🙏

Using your own example, imagine you own 10 cars, but keep the 9 you are NOT driving, running 24x7. Unsurprisingly, your cars would need to be serviced much more frequently, as many of the cars’ parts would needlessly be worn out. Not hard to understand.

@@MarcoFerranteWatchesdo you really think a car degrades the same when used more? Why do they have service intervals based on the miles they have travelled? Any mechanical machine wears out in use. It might seize if it’s left for ages unused but cars with higher mileage tend to have more wear than ones with lower mileage. There are certain engine parts/belts that should be changed after so many miles like a cam/timing belt for example. If you don’t replace these then if they “go” when the engine is in use the car is usually written off. I can’t believe there is anyone that genuinely thinks that anything mechanical doesn’t wear more of it is used more. What the heck? lol

Nice job Marco. I’ve purchased from Burdeen’s downtown locations and have had great service! The myth or opinion I hear all the time is “beating up the watch gives it character and doesn’t affect value”. Maybe just my personal preference, but why would you beat up a luxury item like a watch. I’m not into vintage pieces and don’t get why proper polishing on newer pieces is bad. Changing the sharp design edges by over polishing, yes-I get that. In summary, if I’m buying preowned, I’m not interested in a beat up example.

@michaelrankins581 Ай бұрын

One thing to note about watch winders is the potential electromagnetic field (EMF) they generate, which can interfere with the accuracy of some mechanical watches. While most modern watches are designed to resist moderate levels of magnetism, prolonged exposure to EMF from poorly shielded winders could lead to magnetization of the movement components, such as the hairspring, affecting timekeeping precision. High-quality winders often minimize this risk, but it’s still worth considering, especially with vintage or non-anti-magnetic watches. Make sure the manufacturer is using high-quality, low-EMF motors , and EMF emissions are below 5 milligauss (mG) or lower in the area surrounding the watch to remain well within the tolerance of most modern anti-magnetic watch standards.

@MarcoFerranteWatches Ай бұрын

Most good winders will follow this principle. Obviously if you are getting a cheap, low quality winder that runs erratically and doesn't allow for some rest periods I would naturally tell you to avoid it. If you are buying a luxury product such as a watch, the accessories that accompany it should not be cheap. After all, you shouldn't put cheap tires on a luxury vehicle....

Thank you for your insightful and informative video. I’ve been into horology and collecting and studying watch trends since 1973. I’ve had the pleasure of owning some of the most incredible watches and have had the experience of new ideas and trends in the industry. High end watches as an investment in my opinion is an iffy proposition. Certainly some brands will achieve extraordinary values, but others will crash out. I think that your suggestions for watch service intervals are spot on. Any mechanical item with moving parts will require service. Oils will dissipate and you need end up with metal on metal. That’s not good for your car engine, now imagine an item a 100 times smaller with many of the parts requiring a jewelry’s loupe to visualize them. Lastly, I smiled when you spoke of watch winders and thought of how I currently have 8 watches on them. All I will comment is that they have never been a source of contention for my watches. Lastly I appreciated your pronunciation of the different brands, finishing applications and a little watch lineage. I tell my wife that I speak 2 languages, English and Bad English (I was born in Cincinnati, that is my burden, :) ) so thanks for your input. Thank you for your videos, Dr. M

Services on movements typically pays for all parts. So for the customer, what is the advantage of bringing it in earlier than absolutely necessary?

@MarcoFerranteWatches Ай бұрын

Not really. Servicing is typically related to the cleaning and lubricating and recalibration of a movement and does not include the cost to replace parts. Parts get naturally worn down with use which can be mitigated if the watch is handled with care and serviced within healthy intervals. Of course, to each their own when it comes to servicing - this is just my personal opinion and professional recommendation based on many conversations with watchmakers. Hope you enjoyed this video 🙏

The biggest myth is that a good mechanical movement, and as an extension a luxury watch, will last you your an entire lifetime and most likely pass it down to your children. Hence why it’s better than a “cheap” quartz watch. Sorry but that’s a bunch of bull!! And that comes from someone with a small but good luxury watch collection (Omega, IWC, Rolex etc) which I love btw. I have a CASIO F-87w from probably mid 80s which I wore in primary school and engaged my passion for watches. That watch is still going strong 40+ years later. Ssme applies for a few SWATCH watches from the 90s that are still good (aside the plastic crystal which has gone slightly foggy due to age and ordeals I put the timepiece through as a kid). The ONLY maintenances cost for those watches was the batteries that I had to replace every now and then. Now, I own my father’s Rolex Oyster Perpetual form the 70s and few luxury mechanicals that I have bought myself around mid 2010s (Omegas, IWC & Breitling). All the mechanicals go strong but at what cost. I have spent around $2,800 on my 17-19yo Breitling and Speedmaster for operation routine repairs (gear replacement due to teeth wear, balance wheel, gaskets, seals, lubrication etc) and around the same on my dad’s Rolex for the same reasons plus others (nothing on IWC since it’s new). Summary A $20 quartz watch from the 80s has cost me probably around $30 in batteries and a few seals. A high end mechanical watch from 2008 has cost me over $1,700 (Breitling), Speedy around $800 (since 2013). Nearly 26 years less of ownership of the CASIO F-87. Having said that I still love my mechanicals more because I admire the engineering and I always see analogue as something more human with more soul. But to say they have longevity is exaggerated; snd if they do at what cost?

I completely disagree with your take on winders. Most people with winders don’t own one watch which spoils your analogy, most have a collection. If you own one watch you should absolutely wear it everyday, but you don’t need a winder if you have one watch. When you get 2 or more watches, buying a winder is needlessly putting use on a watch you aren’t wearing for the convenience of picking up the watch and it’s still ticking. If you have a bigger collection so the watch gets worn once every 2/3weeks it may need setting to be accurate off a winder anyway. Just like in your video with the winder having multiple watches on it, most people have many watches. To use your one year analogy, if a collector has 6 watches in a collection that they use winders for, all watches get used for the full year over 12 months because they are all being kept on a winder. If the same person doesn’t use a winder and wears their watches equally then they will all be on wrist for 2 months each over a year. Clearly there is a flaw in your logic here. I remember a really interesting video from Mike Manjos (I think was his name) who used to be the head watchmaker/repairer at Watchbox completely saying the opposite to you. Talking about how it’s better for you to let your watch rest when not in use than keep the spring fully wound in a winder. Which you then yourself go on to say in the video. Seems a bit contradictory and the sort of thing people would spiel when selling someone a winder. Not many watch collectors are going to wear one watch per year. Many wear several in a day!

I would guess that the recommended periodical service of a mechanical watch takes into account daily wear - it wouldn't make much sense to make service recommendations on the basis that the watch is only worn a couple of times a week. So if you are servicing the watch when you are supposed to (and you should; you change the oil of your car at the recommended mileage, not when the oil looks like it should be changed, because those miles after the recommended service are putting excessive wear on the engine - it's the same for your watch) you can safely us a winder - that's what your recommended service intervals are based on, continual use. On wrist or on winder doesn't matter, it's factored into those service intervals. What REALLY needs to be addressed is the nonsense of these watch youtubers regarding water resistance. They keep pushing crap like 3 bar isn't safe to swim or even shower with. If it says 3 bar (from a reputable company, not some Chinese brand printing fantasy on the dial) it MEANS 3 bar. Your pool isn't 30 meters deep. Your shower isn't 3 atmospheres. If it's rated for 3 bars, IT MEANS 3 BARS, it doesn't mean "splashes" or that it will fail while washing the dishes. These watch youtubers keep dragging out a chart that is outdated by over a decade now; standards have been clarified since then. The rating is what it says it is. Video after video after video on youtube do tests with the cheapest Casio available and they always exceed the rating, sometimes 2-3 times or more. They don't claim them as such because that's not the pressure they were designed for, but you can be sure that the rating of a watch from a reputable manufacturer is the MINIMUM of its capability, not the maximum. Any watch youtube channel that tries to tell you a 3 bar watch isn't enough for a swimming pool is an idiot.

As the mechanical engineer I am, please explain me how running a watch on a winder, wearing parts out without using the watch is not like having a car running all day without moving because "the engine was made to run". Immediately, you start talking about service...... You know what will not need service or greatly reduce service? Not putting a watch on a winder.

it's not a perfect analogy/comparison

Watch-winder’s…like leaving your car running while parked in the garage .

Myth #1: in winder mechanism is active for 24 hours; whereas when you wear the watch, it rests during sleep

This guy has the capacity to speak and really say almost nothing. Perfect guy for the over-priced watch racket.

Of course you deal only with mechanical watches. Realistically, the developments in horology moved from mechanical watches years ago. The only major development probably being Daniels' Coaxial escapement (designed primarly to inrease the service interval to try to match quartz) or maybe the silicon hairspring. Meanwhile, watches have been developed which need no winding, run on light, and maintain levels of accuracy unattainable from any mechanical watch. So, from the point of view of mythbusting, the biggest myth is that mechanical watches are that good at telling the time. Be honest, how many customers have you had come back with mechanical timepiece and complain that the time on it is wrong? But, I realise that wristwatches are items of jewellery and the primary point of wearing them isn't telling the time - you're mobile phone does a better job of doing that.

I find this video to be ironically hilarious. You attempted to dispel 5 myths, yet you failed to dispel these "MYTHS." Because you, too, have stated "MYTHS." You watch salesmen never cease to amaze me. Lmao 🤣

I thought he did dispel the myths. Like the winder myth.

1916 needs to give Tim Mosso a clothing and haircut allowance so he looks as professional and well groomed as Marco does at Burdeens.

This made me chuckle lol. Tim Mosso doesn't need the nice suit and tie, he is already a legend in the industry 👍

You are wrong regarding winders.

The guy bought the Breguet chronograph for 20k and now it’s worth 14k. Resale value is not a priority for me, but of it matters to you don’t buy Breguet.

@MarcoFerranteWatches Ай бұрын

Find me one for $14,000 and I will buy it all day long. We paid $18,000 and I sold it for $20,000 and told the customer as much. I have no problem telling friends and customers of mine my COGS. They understand I am in business to make money and I believe so long as I am fair people will continue to trust me and come back to me. I operate on extreme transparency because I want people to feel good about their purchases and know exactly what they are buying. Sure Breguet is not an "investment" but neither are 99% of watches made by all other brands - including many from Rolex!

''giving a watch a rest'' what a old of crap. If I am tired my performance will begin to decline but if I rest my performance will rise again - how does this apply to a watch?

@darkphotographer Ай бұрын

send it for service every 5 years ,, yeah if you have budget watch like seiko 5 , service may cost half of the value of the watch ,or more , better off keep it with nothing if something happen just thow it away ,

I never subscribe to a channel when that channel asks me to subscribe in the first minute. Really, why the eff would I subscribe to an unknown quantity? Aslk half through if you must but really you should ask at the end.
