About

This channel is all about bringing old watches back to life—one project at a time. Whether it’s a vintage piece from the bargain bin or a watch that hasn’t ticked in decades, every timepiece gets a shot at redemption here. I’m a hobbyist watchmaker learning as I go, sharing the full process along the way. From teardown and troubleshooting to casework and reassembly, I try to show it all—successes, mistakes, and the unexpected problems that come with working on old mechanical watches. If you're into the technical side of watch repair, enjoy seeing how things work, or just appreciate the art of putting something broken back together, you’ll feel right at home. My goal is to make each video as informative as it is satisfying—sharing tools, techniques, and a few tricks that don’t always make it into other videos. Whether you’re learning the craft or just enjoy the journey, I’m glad you’re here.

Video Description

This 1955 Omega Constellation arrived in rough mechanical shape - previously butchered by poor watchmaking left it full of botched repairs and mechanical headaches. In this video, we dig in to fix every mistake, sort out the 354 bumper movement, and bring this classic Omega back to life. It’s a restoration filled with challenges, surprises, and the satisfaction of seeing a troubled timepiece transformed into something beautiful and fully functional. Watch as we uncover what went wrong, repair the damage, and give this vintage Omega the care it deserves. 👍 Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more watch repair projects and behind-the-scenes stories! 💙 Support the channel on Patreon Creating content takes time, effort, and resources.
