Time may have moved on, but inside Prithviraj Bhola’s Dehradun watch repair shop, it still ticks by hand. At 86, he repairs vintage mechanical watches—some over 300 years old—preserving a dying craft passed down through generations. https://english.mathrubhumi.com/multimedia/videos/prithviraj-bhola-dehradun-master-watchmaker-y4a80w9f?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon #PrithvirajBhola #Dehradun #Watchmaker #VintageWatches

Earlier today I had a one handed Cartier Tank homage, because the hour hand fell of the shaft of the moment.
But this evening, I finally mustered up all my courage and decided to try to fix it.
I am really proud of myself right now, because I (yes, me) fixed it.

Jörgensen Jörgensen, “Dog King" of Iceland, brother of famed #watchmaker Urban Jürgensen, died on January 20, 1841 at the age of 60. A few years earlier, fellow convicts memorialized him, carving likenesses of the king and his queen on the Ross Bridge over the Macquarie River.

As his brother Urban became #watchmaker to the Danish royal court, Jörgen Jörgensen spiraled through years of gambling, drinking, and debtors’ prisons, with interludes as a soldier in Spain, a spy for British intelligence, and a failed gambler in Paris.

Starting to get things moving with more watchmaking-related videos. I've got a fun Seiko project coming up. What are you looking to see? I'd like to field questions but no clue what all I can show, or what I know. (I doubt myself and my skills probably way too much)
Let me know! 🧡

What a day it has been. Starting to get that ball rolling for the new channel for my business. Struggled for maybe an hour to record a video simply stating basic information and ideas 😅
But hey! I got it done!!! I'm hoping things will be a bit smoother moving forward. I'm excited for the opportunity, working on watches is something I thoroughly enjoy and it may be the first thing in my life I feel I could do until I can't work anymore. Combine that with outlets like YouTube and it can become something mildly lucrative. (I don't expect to become obscenely rich from this, but paying my bills and clearing debts would be nice)
I know in the grand scheme it's all a bit silly but it's what I like. Today was good. Today was productive. It's amazing how good it feels not just spending the entire day watching movies and shows. More of this please.
Anyway, that's your update from me today.

Okay, figured I should share this here. Finally announced my Instagram page/business name. If you need some watches fixed or are looking to buy one, I'll be adding more here.
(I have a YouTube as well but not really pushing that yet)
Please go check it out if you could!!

Got my hands on this watch with Jerry Lewis on the dial. Opening it up, I was quite surprised to find a Helbros movement inside! 17 jewel, I'll go ahead and go through this and service it, but then it's going to be up for sale. I'm getting a bit of a backlog of watches to work on on stream! (I still need to test to make sure my laptop can run a stream. Last time, it was a slideshow 😅)
Should I redo the lume on the hands and dial, or leave it as is?

Hoping I can find a screw that fits for the watch I'm working on... 😅

Got this watch yesterday. My intent will be fix it up and make it look the best I can. I am not a fan of plated cases. Not sure if I want to go about removing all the plating and leave it or have it plated again, or maybe I just leave the look as is? At any rate, this won't be a watch I keep. Maybe this is a process I document on YouTube? Could be a good thing for my new channel. I need ideas for a channel centered around watches/watchmaking. Maybe I answer questions? I don't know yet fully. 😅

I'm waiting for watch parts to dry, so I'm left to sit here and think a bit. It's a relaxing time, and I am grateful I can do this. Thinking about this Seiko I've been wearing a week or two straight now, and I'm wondering if I'll ever get it to keep anything netter than ten seconds. I know it's asking a lot, but it's a fun thing to tinker with. I've got a large collection of watches but, for the most part, I think I'm losing attachment. This is a good thing, as I can try selling those off if/when I can.
I'll say this, a great way to keep a watch fresh in your collection is to swap bands. It helps adjust the look, feel, and feeling it could give you.
I wonder if I'm doing the right thing, or if I'm good enough, if I even know how to do what I want. It's scary but I need to face these questions and work them out.
Just some of the thoughts while my watch cleaner drones on.
If you have some watch questions, reach out! Maybe I can help. 🧡
