Join me on an intricate journey as I take apart and bring back to life a delicate Tissot ladies' wrist watch, featuring the surprisingly miniature Tissot 2401 movement. When I started, this watch was silent, but by the end of this video, it's ticking away beautifully!
In this video, you'll see:
A step-by-step guide on how to carefully dismantle the watch, showcasing the precision required when dealing with such a small mechanism.
The challenge of the watch not running initially and the process to diagnose the issue.
An unexpected twist where I had to craft a main spring winder barrel on my lathe. Yes, you read that right; watch me fabricate this crucial component from scratch to fit the main spring back into place.
My genuine surprise at how tiny the Tissot 2401 movement is, which adds a unique layer of difficulty and fascination to this restoration.
This project was not only about reviving a piece of horological history but also about the joy of overcoming unexpected challenges in watchmaking. Whether you're a watch enthusiast, a hobbyist, or just curious about the inner workings of timepieces, this video offers a glimpse into the meticulous world of watch repair and restoration.
