【時計修理職人の日常動画】1級時計修理技能士がただただ黙々と機械式時計のオーバーホールをしている風景〜オメガ・スピードマスター組立作業編〜

Assembly Cal.1151（OMEGA Speedmaster） （Google Translate） It is still far from the "God's hand." Overhaul work is like a routine, and each watch has different movements, symptoms and habits. It is a work that always faces one watch at a time. Today's clocks are so excellent that they often only operate properly after being disassembled, washed, assembled, lubricated and adjusted. However, as an independent watch repair technician, I keep in mind that it is important to be familiar with various movements and to grasp the tendency of each, to prevent areas that are prone to failure and to give advice to customers. I will. Also, although I am a professional watch repair technician, it is not a big deal to say without fear of misunderstanding. It is just a guide to whether or not an overhaul can be done properly, and I think that a true watch repairman should have the skills to make parts without parts, that is, to make a watch. Unfortunately, I feel that I have not reached that area yet and I must continue to improve (I can continue to improve) for the rest of my life. "It's a tough but very interesting job!" It's a pity to say, but according to a study at Oxford University, it seems that the work of watch repair may disappear in another 10 years. In fact, there are mechanical movements that are already fully automated, so if the price of the movement becomes cheaper, it is more economical to replace the movement itself than to overhaul it. (There are actually such manufacturers) I think that 3D printers will be able to make tiny parts and gears made of metal, and there will be work to replace machines and AI. If oil that does not deteriorate for decades is developed, or if a movement that does not use oil is developed, overhaul may not be necessary in the first place. There is a possibility that you will not have the clock itself. I wonder if there is an opinion that the work of repairing watches will never disappear, but I think it would be interesting to think that a new road will be visible if it is assumed that it will disappear. Even if it disappears as a profession, I think that skills that can only be done by humans will survive even if they change shape, and I'm really looking forward to what happens from now on. The story has derailed a lot, but what I want to say in the end is that the most scary thing for a watch repair technician is neither a machine nor an AI ... Presbyopia! !
