    I never much thought of or cared for repeating watches but….. after hearing a few, i feel an urge to get one.
    If only someone was building 18th c style watches today 😅

    Remember, always set the time on a repeater clockwise, NEVER counter clockwise.

      I agree. The watchmakers back then were true masters. I sold this one but I have another in my personal collection that has a gold dial.

      My wife's grandparents are from Germany - last name Schraeder. We were in Germany last year - love it. You could always buy a nice pocket stand so you can enjoy the watch periodically. It is good to wind and use an antique pocket watch maybe once a month or so.

    Hi, who are some of the best watchmakers in the Europe and US to service such complicated mechanisms?

    • @troyduncan1969
      @troyduncan1969  Před 7 lety

      Very difficult to find such watchmakers. What makes a watch like this complicated beyond what even a master watchmaker can repair is the musical aspect. Most watchmakers do not know much about music boxes, how to craft a new musical tooth (which includes tuning).

      There are actually smaller pieces with even more complications - it is simply a function of an extremely talented and high quality craftsman.

      There are gongs that surround the movement with small triangular hammers, movement’s basically the same as a clock that has a grand sonnerie feature, though it’s in a completely different arrangement

  • @kanychan9810

    Can I know what is the meaning of 10ct? Is that gold?

    • @troyduncan1969
      @troyduncan1969  Před 7 lety

      10ct means 10 carat gold. 10 out of 24 where 24 is 100% pure gold.

      If you purchased a true grand sonnerie, that is a very good price. I sold this one for around $10,000.

    *Stop saying it's SOLID GOLD !* 18 Karat is NOT solid Gold *it's roughly 75 % Pure Gold and the rest being a mixture of Copper and Zinc to give the case better wearing strength.*

    • @troyduncan1969
      @troyduncan1969  Před 4 lety +5

      You should really not try so hard to be an ass. It is standard industry practice to state that an item is "solid gold" and list the karat (or purity content). I have never seen a watch crafted of 24 karat gold as it is too soft and would wear rather quickly. In short, you are stating the obvious as everyone understands the karat system and what it means. Using the term "solid gold" simply implies that the piece is not plated with 24k gold, etc. ON a side note, you should cut your hair as the long strands are really not hiding your balding problem but maybe grow a goutee to hide your double chin.

      @@troyduncan1969 Thank you for the personal fashion advice ;) I will take it under consideration. You obviously didn't read my note properly. I already stated 18 Karat is 75 % Pure Gold with a mixture of Copper and Zinc so it will "wear" better i.e. *It will not be so soft as Pure 24 Karat Solid Gold would obviously be.* I think your use of the term "Solid Gold" is somewhat *disingenuous.* It is *NOT* as you say, standard industry practice to state something is Solid Gold when it is not, thus the term 18 Karat, 14 Karat, 10 Karat. Personal attacks demonstrate you don't have any real argument here, and you're an arrogant son of a bitch !

      @@markjob6354 OH my gosh - I just watched a newer video of yours and it looks like you gained 50 pounds from your profile photo - grow a goatee my friend. Here is the deal, I retired ten years ago at the tender age of 41 and I was an executive and full equity partner with one of the largest consulting firms in the world. My wife (still on marriage number one mind you) who was always a stay at home mom told me that I needed something to so so I turned my hobby into an enjoyable early retirement activity. Roughly five million dollars in sales later, I am still enjoying my hobby, traveling the world and enjoying life and maybe once a month, some trailer dirt bag like you gives me shit and I will not take it. Your comment is a cry for help to try and feel important. I know my stuff, have done extremely well and I do not need some bald, double chinned, trailer house, 19 CZcams subscriber asshole giving me shit to try and feel important. In short (as the Irish would say) FECK OFF.

      @ No it's not ! 24Karat Gold is Solid Gold !

    • @markjob6354
      @markjob6354 Před 3 lety

      @ This is not so in the rest of the world, or the other Western Countries. Historically, the term "Solid Gold," always referred to the understanding of "Pure Gold," thus 24 Karat Gold referred to .999 Fine Gold as it exists in solid gold bars. Gold mixed with Copper or Zinc is considered to be a "Gold Alloy," containing a specific gold content measured in Karats by most Jewelers. 10K = 50% Gold. 14k= 60 % Gold. 18K = 75 % Gold. 22K= 90% Gold. 24K=100% Solid Gold, or pure gold in solid.
