As someone that is new to timekeeping or watchmaking if you will I cannot begin to express how thorough and historic your content is please don't ever stop you have helped me pick up the most interesting and fun hobby I have ever had thank you again my friend

[tiago_tojeira]

Absolutely fantastic video! Not only an excellent explanation, but the context and enthusiasm are just such a pleasant addition, thank you.

I;ve seen two of your videos now and these are seriously the best lessons ive seen. Blew my mind when you showed that the balance spring is the same as the pendulum! So interesting

[Chris_the_Muso]

Fun Fact: Huygens did work in horology (the pendulum) as you pointed out, but also did work in optics, specifically for telescopes. Watchmakers use high magnification loupes (usually 12x and above) that have two plano/convex elements in them. This is essentially Huygens eyepiece which he developed for use on telescopes, but it also got used on microscopes, and eyepieces of the time were also useful as loupes even before there was anyone who would be considered a "watchmaker".

We truly do stand on the shoulders of giants.

Brilliant! I`m no horologist but always loved old pocket watches. I have bought a few, cheap models, and one today is running really fast! Like 5 minutes every 2 hours. But after this I`ll have a go at slowing it down. Thanks a lot you really make this stuff easy to grasp!

[ivanbman]

This is the best video I have watched explaining watch timing. You make it sound so simple and I simply love the way you explain a concept. 🙂. Keep it up!

[antalsolyom]

Thanks, thanks, THANKS! You gave me so much knowledge, and fun in the same time! As a hobbist watch machinator I learned so much from you. You are so professional, and explaining everything in a good, easy and scientific way in the same time. Thank you.

[kevinjackson]

i am brand new to watches and time keeping. Thank you for these brilliant videos. Your students are very lucky to have you teaching them.

[EscapeReels]

This is definitely the best video on this subject to be found on Youtube.

I improvised a tool, because there seems to be no wrench you can use to lay on top for safely adjusting the "balance spring".
Instead, one has to really push the timing pin at the edge of the balance spring. That is tricky, and one can easily slide down and destroy the balance spring! I am also spastic after a stroke 5 years ago! (why I have time for DIY watch fiddling) If the phone rings, my whole right body side twitches!
So I took a small 1mm wide jeweller's screwdriver. I cut out a square notch on a corner on one side. I can then lay the screwdriver on top of the pin-lever with the cut-out part. It looks like a plate with a square cut out on one corner. Now I can push forward, and the edge of the cut-out pushes the timing-pin lever. I do not have to worry so much about a twitch, because the jeweller tool does not so easily drop down to damage the balance spring!
I regulated all 4 of my Seiko/TMI NH35A (close relative of earlier 7S26 and current 4R35) to within -1 to +6 secs/day when I wear them, or they are on my watch-winder carousel. These watches cost between 45 and 70 dollars, so getting this close to "Swiss" COSC performance, for 1/100th of the price, makes me very happy

I skipped school today, but now I've done my homework and caught up! Thanks for another concise and informative session.

[RestorationWatch]

Thank you for taking the time to fully explain timing in such an easy to understand manner. There are no horology schools in my city so all your videos are really helpful. Thanks again.

[LEORedSun]

This is the best video explaining watch timing movement. Great Job and Thanks.

[toddacheson]

Thank you for explaining things so well. Your channel is my first stop when I have questions like what you went through here.

[cozininja]

I adore your videos Kalle. Your teaching methods are so simple to understand and are a joy to watch.

[MobiBR]

Kalle, thank you so much for your lessons! The simplicity with which you explain the fundamentals of how watches work is motivating! Greetings from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil!
