I Sent A Subscriber A Watch Restoration Starter Kit!
Most of my restoration videos are shot live in realtime with up to eight cameras. While some of them are cut down to make them more watchable, the uncut versions show everything for a reason: to quote Ernest Hemingway, “Every man's life ends the same way. It is only the details of how he lived and how he died that distinguish one man from another.” The same is true of watchmakers, and of watches.
