In this video I show how I service a watch mainspring by hand. I use a Seiko barrel as an example and take you though each step from opening the lid to the barrel, safely removing the main spring. We examine the barrel arbour under the microscope to see how that works. I then show how I clean the spring, how I would oil the spring too. I finish off with greasing the barrel wall and then the technique I use to wind the mainspring safely back into the barrel , fit the arbour and then close the lid.

About me:
My name is Mike and I am a hobbyist watchmaker. I am completely self-taught in watch repair and restoration. My channel is all about my journey of hobbyist of watchmaking. I have watch repair tutorials, watch restorations and watch repair videos. Some of my content you can easily follow along to if you are working on the same watch movement. My main focus is to document my journey and inspire more people into this wonderful hobby and demonstrate that this hobby can be very rewarding. I do not profess to be a professional watchmaker and in my videos, I show all my mistakes, mishaps, highs and lows and keep everything as honest as possible. It is easy to edit all the mistakes out and make my videos look perfect but I believe that keeping it real reflects the true reality of this hobby. So, what are you waiting for? please check out my watch repair and restoration videos, get inspired and start your own watchmaking journey.
