In this video I restore a Rare Swedish Military Watch from Lemania, a now-defunct Swiss watch manufacturer. This model was exclusively sold to the Swedish military during the 1950s, named "Tg 195" (which isn't truely known what it stands for) and it has a very special stop/reset and start function. While rare worldwide, it is slightly more common in Sweden due to its original distribution.

Detailed restoration:

I purchased this watch at an auction at a great discount since several parts were missing, preventing it from functioning properly. Additionally, I didn’t verify with the auction house whether the watch was working—I got caught up in the bidding frenzy! 😆 Tasks in This Project

*Disassembly & Inspection The first step was to take the watch apart and inspect all the components. I needed to be careful as there was high radioactive radiation emitting from the watch dial and its hands. Something not shown in the video was an issue with the case back—it couldn’t be screwed down properly. Upon closer examination, I noticed some thread damage on the case, though it wasn’t too severe. Further measurements revealed that the case back was slightly elliptical, likely bent many years ago. I carefully bent it back to improve the fit.

*Cleaning the Watch Parts I cleaned all the components using my DIY watch cleaning machine, except for the balance wheel and pallet fork, which I manually cleaned in naphtha before running the machine.

*Sourcing the Missing Parts Since many parts were missing, I had to go on a hunt. Surprisingly, I quickly found a seller with some remaining stock, allowing me to order almost everything I needed—very lucky! However, one screw was unavailable, meaning I had to manufacture it myself.

*Manufacturing a Custom Screw To make the missing screw, I used my 100-year-old manually operated Lorch lathe, which I bought at an auction. Interestingly, both the lathe and the hand-driven wheel are from the same brand—Lorch—making them a perfect match! One major challenge was that the screw had an unusual diameter of 1.15 mm. Standard thread dies only come in 1.10 mm or 1.20 mm, so I had to experiment to achieve the correct threading. Through multiple tests, I managed to cut the thread successfully by aiming for around 1.16 mm in diameter, as anything below 1.15 mm wouldn’t grip properly.

*Restoring the Watch Crystal & Hands I polished the acrylic crystal using 240- and 400-grit sandpaper, followed by Polywatch and green Dialux polish paste (not shown in the video). I wanted to keep the old crystal which has its character. Next, I removed the old, cracked lume from the hour, minute, and seconds hands. I then repainted them in a color that closely matches the original lume.

*Reassembly & Final Adjustments Once the watch was fully assembled, I checked its performance. The results were great—around 270° amplitude, with stable performance in both horizontal and vertical positions. This suggests the watch will keep time well when worn. One small issue remained: the second hand wasn’t perfectly aligned at 12 o’clock when resetting via the button on the case. The reset mechanism doesn’t provide a firm grip, making precise positioning random. Rather than risk breaking the delicate second hand by reopening the watch, I decided to leave it as is.

I worked with Darius Khondji once; it was undoubtedly one of the highlights of my career. He was an absolute gentleman.

I got to chat with him after work one day when we wrapped early in Newport. I will never forget what I said to him at a dockside Newport bar (which he quickly and humbly dismissed):

“Mr. Khondji. It is an honor to meet you. Se7en is a photochemical masterpiece.”

It really bums me out that this YouTube channel credited Fincher with all of Darius’s amazing work.

I became a filmmaker because of Darius’s brilliant cinematography.

I love this guy’s style of iteration. A truly talented mechanical engineer.

This is a beautiful quote from David.

I might not appreciate his films (even after having gone to an avant garde art school) but the perspective that he so articulately described here illustrates the true catharsis of human experience that I can only hope to dance around metaphorically.

This guy always does a really great job. I love that he doesn’t ramble in my ear the whole time.

I’ve learned so much about welding, machining, boring, hydraulics, and most of all: doing things the right way quickly from this channel. Abom79 used to scratch this itch and I do sometimes watch his channel but for some reason, this is even more entertaining.

MY PERSONAL COMMUNITY.

I tend to overshare all of the things I am into, creating a wall of links that people can't keep up with.

Therefore, I decided to aggregate all of the links in one place for others to see.

I am the only person that can post here because this is my personal collection of links.


Rules (anyone that violates them will be promptly banned for life):

  1. These is my community to aggregate my favorite links. I am not a "bot". If you don't like it, please make a comment and I will happily ban you for life.

  2. Don't be a troll. This is completely up to my interpretation and I reserve the right to be a power tripping mod if I wish.

  3. If you're going to have a discussion, keep it civil. Don't gaslight people, gatekeep, move goalposts, etc.

  4. I am a leftist. Spamming this comm with viewpoints that I deem right wing or fascist will get you banned.

  5. No neoliberal genocide apologia and identity politics bullshit. I will enthusiastically ban you with prejudice.
