This time I do a restoration of a chronograph watch in an 18K gold case which dates back to the Second World War (1938 - 1945). This watch also has a telemeter scale which is very helpful for anyone involved in gunnery as it can be a vital tool for estimating ranges to visible explosions quite accurately. Once I have restored the watch I actually use it to pin point the location of a fireworks display from footage taken in my home town. This chronograph watch is driven by a Landeron 51 movement.

As I say in this video .... if you are not subscribed, then maybe you should! It's free and it will help ensure you do not miss my future uploads.

I do not do much talking in this video leaving, for the most part, the action on screen to tell the story.
