great food for thought and thanks for sharing. Nowadays very few watchmakers can repair and overhaul extremely well a valjoux72 or its rare rattrapante variant

Also not every watchmaker poises the balances as well as retouches the hammers on this movement. Worse on the full calendar variant which is more complicated to service.
And with some rare and complicated chrono calibres, it is just only a few who can master the craft of bringing back to life this kind of mechanism.

There seems to be an explosion of watchmaking courses these days. From initiation courses simply assembling a movement in a case through movement assembly to simple cleaning, etc. (not to mention the paths to become a professional watchmaker). But what do...
Thanks for sharing!

They have a super sharp video quality, great explanations and you can even get a set of tools+ watch if you need something to try your hands on (before hitting your own watches😉). Something to have fun with! Thanks for sharing, Don! Have a nice week, Best...
Great!!!!
