Restoration of a Hampden Railroad Grade Pocket Watch - William McKinley grade from Canton, OH

This is the first video where I am narrating key points throughout the process. I may continue to do so based on the feedback I receive and how well it performs. Repair job on an 1913 Hampden model 5, railroad grade, Wm. McKinley, 16 sized American Antique Pocket Watch. The balance was disconnected from the bridge. I discovered both pivots of the staff were broken as well. In this video, I replace the staff and then proceed on to statically poise the balance wheel. Additional fixes were made in addition to a full strip down, cleaning and reassembly. I am an amateur who enjoys restoring vintage watches to working order.
