In this video I make a restoration of a Vintage Longines Swiss Mechanical watch, all done by hand, ASMR and no talking. It's a mechanical watch and it's from the beginning of 1970 with a caliber 428 movement. This watch seems to have been left alone with a missing jewel part and it seems there is no oil in it! Maybe a watchmaker had its reasons to just leave it.

In this restoration I do manual polishing and cleaning of the watch, everything is manually done by hand. This watch movement has 17 jewels and it has shock protection. It’s a manual hand wind movement (you wind it via the crown to give it power).
This vintage Longines watch was very clean when I opened it but it didn't have any oil in it. And one major problem was that the whole chanton with its cap jewel was gone under the balance wheel. This resulted in a very erratic ticking.

After the restoration the Longines watch works fine, It's about +7 seconds to fast over a day which is stated by the timegrapher. When tested in different positions this could vary a bit but it was always around +/- 10 seconds per day. I think that's very good for a 50 year old watch.
