Today I will show you the process of remaking a wristwatch. I will make an unusual dial with chess pieces for them. I hope you enjoy the result! #watch #chess
@@mattv8959 lol, there is entire Facebook watch mod groups especially based around seikos. Not to the extent of shifting movements like this but a lot of these micro brands and hobby watch makers are just modding all ready available watches or components.
@@moagnor Indeed. The markup on those is literally at least 5000% (it maybe costs like 5 bucks to make if we're generous). They've figured out capitalism - make a trash cheap product, pay a bunch e-celebs to peddle it to people who do not know better, profit. In fact, I find it a bit hard to believe that anyone with any familiarity with machining, let alone someone as decent (at the very least, if not even great) at it as Levsha, would've spent even a piece of chewed gum on an obviously poorly made product. Had to have been "gifted", again that's this company's whole business model.
@@shafismaili1347 I was replying to a comment about a "low price" watch and adding my two cents to someone's accurate remark that the watch in question is not low-priced at all (but rather low quality and quite overpriced). I had never mentioned "evil", I've instead made a very specific factual statement about the brand in question and the economic framework that allows it to exist as such. It's always sad to see weird NPC's offended at millionaire and billionaire conmen's behalf, you got me thinking of that "Elon Musk/Weird Nerds/Criticism" meme.
4:21 you know sometimes when you drop a screw and It tele transports to another dimension, never to be seen again?. I was heavy sweating for that little pawn and the rest of the pieces for them, not to fall into that pile of metal swarf :D Amazing work as usual.
Amazing work, and I love miniature craftsmanship like this. My only issue with this was that the board shown is not a legal position! A black pawn could never be in the top left corner as you show it. In addition, because the board is angled in the picture and the pieces are straight up, it makes it look like the pieces are slanted, however that is very hard to notice at first glance and still looks amazing.
@kemphoss-4791 I think that's just the slant of the board. If you screenshot it and compare, they are almost identical. Really shows the level of craftsmanship put into this.
This was lovely to watch 😅 and listen to, and it was astounding to see how it all comes together love the functionality and it’s a perfect watch. Thank you for your Channel. 🙌
It sounds easy but magnets strong enough to hold the pieces securely would destroy a mechanical watch and halt a quartz. If you wanted to make things move you would be better off using a thin glass layer over the dial, or having the “dial” itself rotate partially. Aso, you could only get arc motion not straight lines
I would think moving the mechanism off center would be difficult to impossible with an automatic movement. It was possible with this because of the small movement that could easily be repositioned within the case.
@@melody3741 When you said you would like to see this done, it seemed like you meant this design. Miyota's current catalog of automatic calibers are all 11 1/2 ligne, which is about 26mm or just over an inch. Their smaller calibers are all quartz electrics. I took this info from the catalog on their site, so it might not reflect older options.
The amount of detail is insane, who would have imagined creating chess pieces that small
Amazing ❗❤
Me :)
Never in all my days had I imagined modifying an existing watch. You, are an impressive craftsman.
... wat?
That’s like what 99% of what the watch builders do lol

Turning a low price watch into a piece of art, compliments to you.
Low quality. Not low price...
@@moagnor it probably cost only 60 cents to manufacture at a large scale factory.

@@AnEntropyFan really, the man's done an amazing job, and you launch into this non sequitur evil capitalism rant.

As impressive as it looks, imagine to have functional chess at this size :) and in this form :)
That is what I imangined it was.
@@alchemystudiosink1894 cool :)
Magnetic Version could but much work
I thought it was functional
Cant remove pieces off the board. A digital chess board imitating the colors could do the trick.

Glad to see you back 😊
Gorgeous work. I love a craftsman who builds their own tools. Well done.
This is next level work. The thought and detail going into this piece are as amazing as the craftsmanship. ❤❤❤
Finally. You are here again. Please continue to share your precious work with us. Thank you.

I think that's a bishop, it looks slightly taller than the pawns

love the perspective you chose for the board, such confidence
Absolutely mindblowing ! Great job and nice vid. Congrats and best regards !
Love this!! would love to see more stuff like this
Absolutely amazing! 🤯 so creative and beautiful! 💯
I am truly amazed at just how much detail there is in this. Thank you.
Unbelievable! Congrats!
It amazes me how small a scale you work in. I don’t have the patience for this kind of work. Your work is incredible!
Great as always!
Very cool project, nicely executed! 👍

Beautiful work!! What a talent
Amazing work!
Really good Job my friend.
Amazing build, with a outstanding edition work.
Plus, it's quite relaxing.
Thanks for sharing
Like always, i absolutely loved watching your videos. Its nice to see you using tools that i have watched you build.
You're crazy! Thanks for the upload!
Wow... just wow such skill! I'm impressed !
Remarkable - Such precise manufacture. Beautifully Finished watch !!
It would be cool if you made the pieces from steel and used magnets to make it move in place of the dials.
It sounds easy but magnets strong enough to hold the pieces securely would destroy a mechanical watch and halt a quartz. If you wanted to make things move you would be better off using a thin glass layer over the dial, or having the “dial” itself rotate partially. Aso, you could only get arc motion not straight lines
@@melody3741 couldn’t have said it better myself. Magnets are a no-no with watches.
Magnets ruin analog watches.
@@SchmendricksLaw mechanical watches. Analog format doesn’t matter.
@andrewmosley2588 did you just argue semantics? What a waste of brain power.
That tune is so beautiful, giving that masterpiece of video a whole different vibe.
Whoa! A new video after so long 🥳😊👏🏽👍🏽
This was very relaxing to watch. This looks amazing!
Great idea! Well done!
Amazing skills! Beautiful watch
Outstanding!
Very nice !!! Good job !
I love that the board has some perspective to it
Wow.. Congrats, :) that looks awsome:)
Exceptional! Subbed.
He's back \o/
I'm so happy you have no idea.
So classy, love it!
WOW! I'm gobsmacked, although, I don't know why as all of your work is incredible! Great job! 👍
Wonderful piece, cheers.
I would’ve obsessed over the orientation of the chess pieces on the board
This is amazing,my goodness makes a good mood even better!!!
Your projects and skills are beyond amazing!!
Wow. That is an impressive piece of work.
Genius using the smaller movement and offsetting it to clear everything. And the time clock is the cherry on top.
That's amazing. Loved it
Du bist unglaublich. Mega schöne arbeit. Ich 🎉 deine videos. Bitte mach so weiter solang du kannst.
Amazing job!
One of the more creative projects ive seen on youtube in many years
Wonderful work. Congratulations to you
This was the first video I watched on your channel ever. I immediately subscribed. Impressive work of art. Keep up the good work.
Such a beautiful masterpiece! Well done, I wish I had one at my wrist
So do I!
First check whether u have wrist
What would that cost? I love it!
Bravo!! 👏
That's a beautiful watch
Beautiful work
I think it turned out very nice! Nice work! 🙌
Fabulous work
A real masterpiece. Congratulation!
Fabulous project... Congratulations... 🙏
This is a perfect example of a creative mind at work!
Never stifle free-thinking..
Such an amazing person as well as project! Never stop being you!
Class work
Fantastic craftmanship at it´s best! Truly admirable!!
You are a genius. Waiting for more.
Breathtaking 😮!
For the effort you have invested this work of art deserves a better movement.
Well done 👍👏!!!
Yea, I couldn't believe it! Better movement, please.
Frickin' awesome!!
I love it!!! I need it for my collection
The only MVMT that I would actually buy. Great workmanship!
Very well done.
Gorgeous!
I'm not sure what's more impressive, the creativity or the craftsmanship. Simply stunning.
Wow superb !
oh I'm so glad your back! you truly are a craftsman on another level.
Looks great
Awesome , amazing talent!🤩👏💪
WOW Beautiful! 👏
A masterpiece in itself
This is so crazy!!!!!!!!!!!! Look at those small chess pieces!!!
Wow, look how all those little pieces are kept in check, mate.
Amazing!!!
Superb! Things you can only dream of 😅
Awesome work and craft
amazing work
HANDSOME!
U crazy bro, nice work!👌🏼
You are amazing!
Awesome !
For some reason I expected a playable version of chess inside of a wristwatch, but this is nice too.
Just amazing. Now can someone make one that has a full board with all the pieces with one moving every hour and then resetting at the 12 hour?
Excelent!!
Excellent...
Incredible work.
Amazing. Great result! Although the quartz movement doesn't do justice to the dial, it is an amazing and beautiful work!
You have such a great talent
Would love to see this done with a quality watch with a decorated automatic movement. You are a true craftsman.
I would think moving the mechanism off center would be difficult to impossible with an automatic movement. It was possible with this because of the small movement that could easily be repositioned within the case.
@@DavZell this isn’t the only option for decoration. Also miyota makes some positively tiny movements

Good work 👍👍👍
That is impressive ☆
