Lesson 1658. An odd way to clean a watch. This wat Lesson 1658. An odd way to clean a watch. This watch came in with the issue, it went through the washing machine. Full cycle. After that it started losing time.. In 2019 I made a pair of watches as a wedding present. This watch, being one of the pair, has been on the wrist every day since. With the original strap and all. The watch is housing a rough Miyota workhorse cal. 8215. The watch was 5ATM water resisitant. Still is. I am amazed how after really heavy use, it had retained perfect water resistance. The watch still needs service and a new strap. The watch is also present on my lillenberg.ee webpage under the Bespoke watches section. New at the time. :) #watch #kellassepp #lillenberg #unique
Lesson 1657. Unique handmade sea compass on my ben Lesson 1657. Unique handmade sea compass on my bench for repairs. This one was hound at the antiquities shop. Made by a pretty famous jeweller Peeter Rooslaid, probably made during 1940s. Hand engraved case of brass and copper. The dial is made of paper and handpainted. The campass needle is hidden under the paper dial. The dial is light enough to turn together with the needle. the needle sits on a thin copper pivot. The issue with the compass was, that the dial was heavily tilted. There was actually two reasons to that. First, the needle has corroded terribly. From one end. Making the weight shift. Once the needle was balanced (mostly by removing rust from the heavier side), it appeared the paper was unbalanced as well as some rust particles had attached to the underside of the dial. After fixing these issues the compass was alright and becomes a personalised present. Unfortunately the rust stains cannot be removed. #watch #kellassepp #lillenberg #compass
Lesson 1656. Lillenberg Watchmakers Club. Septembe Lesson 1656. Lillenberg Watchmakers Club. September ’26 edition. We had an amazing exploration day, having a mechanical watch workshop. We focused on learning by doing. The goal of the workshop was to gain an understanding of how a mechanical watch works, disassemble a watch movement and assemble the movement. We used ST36 movements that are ETA 6498 lookalikes by Seagull, a Chinese watch company. These are robust, 16.5 ligne pocket watch movements and very suitable for the first meeting with horological activities. The spirit of the workshop was high, and the attitude was energetic-enthusiastic. Both movement and dial side got disassembled and assembled. We had a flyer - a yoke spring got loose. We have this rule, that if one person looses a part, everyone steps in for search. That We found it under two minutes. One of the participants also received a set of professional watchmaking tools by @bergeon, @beco-technic and others, suitable for mechanical movement assembly and disassembly - all in a nice wooden box. Good luck in your watchmaking journeys, Rasmus! Thank you and welcome. 🐺 #watch #kellassepp #lillenberg #workshop #taster
Lesson 1655. Service. Schwarzwald recoil striking Lesson 1655. Service. Schwarzwald recoil striking clock. 90-100 years old. Last known servicemore than 10 years ago. However, it has been kept in pretty good shape and it has been serviced on regular basis. How do I know? Always going on the wall, no pivothole wear on plates. It is a rare piece that has been taken care of. Of course there are scratches on the plates insides, caused by hasty assembly, and other marks of brusque service. Long ago I have conlcuded, that sure way is to utilize round brooch on all pivot holes and polishing on all pivots. That way I can be sure, that if something is causing the clock to stop, it must be something else (endshakes, motion work, plates positioning, etc.). Before I started doing it on routine, pretty few clocks kept returning with grindning to halt after some time. Happy to use CZ50 @watchmakerlathe lathe for pivots, mostly for amazing set of collets, that match all kinds of random arbor diameters. 🐺 #watch #kellassepp #lillenberg #recoil #cz50
Lesson 1654. I met some crazy hobbyists from Kyiv, Lesson 1654. I met some crazy hobbyists from Kyiv, Ukraine. Check their stuff aristocrat_watches on instagram. Friends are contributing the weekends and evenings together to restore old watches to life. The team includes watchmakers, casemakers, strapmakers, laser- and metalworking specialists. The movements are are sourced, being serviced and restored. New cases are machined and finished, straps made. Crystals pressed and movement bridges coated. Then everything gets assembled together for the best aesthetics. Amazing team, amazing people. And of course, amazing watches. 🐺 #watch #kellassepp #lillenberg #ukraine #marriagewatches
Lesson 1653. Brits do it. A lovely Christopher War Lesson 1653. Brits do it. A lovely Christopher Ward timepiece landed on my bench. ETA 2824-2, welcome. The client diagnosed - it started to lose time, also some time has passed since last service. It is an everyday wearable and much loved watch so some wear is expected. What I found inside was interesting, but not unseen. Third wheel pivot had mushroomized, somehow a reverer intermediate wheel pivot on automatic works mainplate was damaged and at least one automatic works jewel chipped. Also the winind pinion was somewhat worn. So a handful of replacements. Also the bezel was behaving erratically. So Off it came, some hand cleaning + Molycote DX helped here. Now the watch is going throught the timing cycles. Soon to return home. #watch #kellassepp #lillenberg #ChristianWard #service
Lesson 1652. A little bit of quartzing. While adju Lesson 1652. A little bit of quartzing. While adjusting a magnificient Schwarzwald dead-beat, my attention goes to a lovely Tissot. “It’s just a batter change,” they say. Well, I say, it’s also cleaning, it’s also adding a dip of oil, it’s also water resistance test, it’s also an hour in ultrasonic cleaning followed by a ultrasonic rinse for the bracelet. And the 18 year old watch returns to the owner, looking and behaving excellent. I love when I open a watch and see my own handwriting from 5 year back inside the caseback (yes, thats how long the battery lasts on this one). A constant flow of returning customers makes me hope, they liked it. :) #watch #kellassepp #lillenberg #tissot #battery
Lesson 1651. Almost gone. My original first micros Lesson 1651. Almost gone. My original first microseries watch MSSN is about to come to end. The second to last amazing black dial MSSN went to Vilnius, Lithuania. Only the final piece is left. It will have either white or blue dial and it has a leather strap. The watch number is 12, engraved both on movement and on the case. As people were sometimes asking for specific numbers and some numbers were for example with stainless steel bracelet from the beginning the stock was utilised unevenly, so to peak. The 42mm case is of 316L steel, thick as a brick. Sapphire crystal in the front and hardened glass for the see through caseback. The watch houses ETA 2892A2 amazing movement, timed to +6/-6 sec per day in 5 positions. The strap is handmade on order, specifically for this watch and will last, literally for years. I will test the watch for 5ATM water resistance, before shipping. If you are interested let me know. The pics are for reference from the most recent watch that just landed on a distingushed gentelmans wrist yesterday. #watch #kellassepp #lillenberg #microseries #swiss
Lesson 1650. Le Joux Perret G100. A drop in replac Lesson 1650. Le Joux Perret G100. A drop in replacement for ETA 2824 and Sellita SW200.1? Well, yes, almost. Except that the balance side clamping slot is a few degrees off. That means that if I really would replace the movement, a modification to the movement ring should be made. So be aware. Nothing wrong, but not just 100% drop in replacement. 🐺 #watch #kellassepp #LeJouxPerret #jl_watches #lillenberg
