A Box of Vintage Watchmaking Tools and Parts from G & J Watch Repair

In September 2023 I visited Las Cruces, New Mexico and met Ed Ceniceros, the proprietor of G & J Watch Repair. Ed gave me a box of vintage watchmaking tools and parts. In this video I go through the contents of the box and try to figure out what's what. Multiple viewers kindly sent me links to several pdfs of old watchmaking catalogues that are very helpful in identifying vintage watchmaking tools. Those pdfs are now available on the documents page of https://ishootwatches.com. Thanks Ed!!! G & J Watch Repair Edward Ceniceros 223 W.

Here's the link to ‪@JDRichard‬'s video about the watchmaker's Ballon Chuck / Balance Chuck:    • Watchmaker Ballon Chuck Setup   And here's a link to a NAWCC page about it: https://mb.nawcc.org/threads/balance-... Before opening any vintage watch or clock for the first time (or even a box of tools or parts) I recommend checking it for radium paint. For more information on radium and how to check for it using a geiger counter see this video:    • Do This Before You Open Any Vintage Watch   My videos are for entertainment and educational purposes only. Critical / corrective comments and links to resources including other watchmaking channels are welcome. #vintage #watchmaker #tools
