This is a multicamera grid view of the first twenty minutes of the unedited video of my first complete restoration of an ETA 2472 Swiss watch movement from the 1960s. If you're interested in how this edits down, the other videos cut from this set of recordings are linked below:

The full video data set is nine points of view, each 1920 x 1080, and each 12 hours long. It was shot, edited, and organized for training automated editing systems based on computer vision and human edited EDLs (edit decision lists).

Before opening any vintage watch or clock for the first time I recommend checking it for radium paint. I didn't do that in this video because it wasn't the first time that I opened this watch. For more information on radium and how to check for it using a geiger counter see these three videos:

The NetIO GC10 that I use is no longer made. It uses an SBM-20 geiger muller tube, which is also used in the GQ GMC-300E and other geiger counters.

My videos are for entertainment and educational purposes only. Critical / corrective comments and links to resources including other watchmaking channels are welcome.
