Making a forgotten Swiss jewel shine again | ~1860s pocket watch restoration | 4K ASMR

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.
