Repairing a 1950s Breguet Type XX - and making a flyback!

Video Description

#making watch parts #breguet type xx #flyback Today we have something rare on the bench; Matt's Breguet Type XX chronograph from the early 1950s! The Type XX was commissioned by the French military and came in a few different versions and as we will see, Matt's one has a few issues, chief among them that it does not have the flyback function. So let's make one! Did you ever see anyone making parts for a watch and creating a new function for it? We will have to make four parts for this watch, with the smallest one having features as small as 0.5mm. Making parts for watches is real watchmaking and something you don't see often. It's a dying art also, as watches nowadays are made with parts that cannot be easily remade by hand or simple machinery. Join Stian for a rebuild of this historic watch as we delve into real watchmaking. As always there will be a few detours and tangents as we proceed, among them Stomach Flu vacations and helium voices :) **************************************************************************** Join this channel to get access to many more videos and perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCaoHoXGQL5BDONt4vbaTw_g/join Or join my patreon page: https://www.patreon.com/VintageWatchServices89 **************************************************************************** See our watches and read our blog at http://www.vintagewatchservices.eu See our current selection at Chrono24: https://www.chrono24.com/search/index.htm?customerId=26311&dosearch=true **************************************************************************** Amazon tools and resources for watchmaking as a hobby: https://bit.ly/43yQRmw Watchmaking books https://bit.ly/3N3rlz3 Watchmaker’s loupe https://bit.ly/43vOcu4 Watchmaker tweezers https://bit.ly/3Nm0lfc Moebius lubricants https://bit.ly/43ITWjM Screwdrivers https://bit.ly/468B8wq Case opener https://bit.ly/468Bfbk Rodico https://bit.ly/3J8mX0u Polywatch https://bit.ly/42wAZQf Presto tools https://bit.ly/3J6UND7 Bergeon tools https://bit.ly/3X21iwL Horotec tools https://bit.ly/3X2xiAU Chinese made watchmaking tools https://bit.ly/3qFqgWk Digital microscope https://bit.ly/3CkZt4f Ultrasonic cleaner https://bit.ly/3qAAPtX Ultrasonic cleaning solution https://bit.ly/43V9HEr Denture cleaning tablet https://bit.ly/3X1rpUl Chinese “Horia style” jeweling tool https://bit.ly/3P5EQR7 Demagnetizer **************************************************************************** Follow us on social media https://www.instagram.com/vintage_watch_services/ https://www.facebook.com/Vintagewatchservices/ https://twitter.com/VintageWatchSrv https://www.pinterest.ch/vintagewatchservices/watch-of-the-day/
