IWC Cal 44 Reassembly - Realtime 12 hours
This was my first time completely restoring a watch movement.
In this video I spend 11.6 hours reassembling an IWC Cal 44 automatic (Albert) Pellaton movement from 1959, including re-luming the hands and luming the dial.
The idea behind this IWC Cal 44 series is that the realtime versions (of which this is one) allow viewers to see how time consuming and difficult a lot of this work is - particularly if one attempts it with no training or experience. They are not training videos. They are about the joy of discovery and of making mistakes.
If this video is too long for you there's an edited version entitled "IWC Cal 44 complete restoration - realtime cutdown" with a magenta border on the thumbnail. The cutdown video is "only" 2.3 hours long with long sections cut out, for example the two hours it took me to remake and reinstall a new ratchet wheel click spring:
