Watchmaker takes apart and compares watches with Swiss and Japanese movements
by Mark Frauenfelder from on (#447DK)
Ryan Jewell is a professional watchmaker in New York. In this episode of Wired's Deconstructed series, Jewell (good last name for a watchmaker) takes apart two Carpenter watches, one with a Swiss movement (~$150) and one with a Japanese movement (~$500). It's interesting to see the different tools he uses to take the watches apart without damaging the tiny delicate components.
