In this video I am doing a restoration of a 150 years old J. Calame-Robert pocket watch. It's a silver pocket watch that has HF imprinted on it's case which refers to Huguenin Freres workshop that was famous for it's engravings, embossments and later, use of nielo technique. I fell in love with it because of it's beautifully engraved mechanism and case. When I bought it, it didn't work. Balance was moving freely, but mechanism would just start and then stop. For this pocket watch restoration: I fully cleaned the case and the mechanism; I made a new crown pusher from the scratch; I added a new bow that fit's the watch; I replaced a mainspring. The old one was aged and spent; I added a new mineral crystal. Please like and subscribe if you liked my video to support my work, and tell me what you think in the comments below the video.
