absolutely true, well, i don’t know if i was guessing or not, but intuitively, that is, there were options, watch the intellectual sports show, head game on our tv channel. how does time work? it would seem a rhetorical question, but today we will try to answer it. let's talk about watches, what are they made of and how do they work? let's organize a real master class to figure out how this is done. hello, my name is tamer. i know that watches are produced in belarus. i wish i knew how to do this.

hi, hi, i'm pasha, i'm tamar, very it’s nice, i see you’re fully prepared, you’re photographing your watch, yes, there are such great plans, look, how beautiful, yes, beautiful, you take photographs so professionally, well, that’s my profession, seriously, tell me a little about yourself, yourself originally from syria, received citizenship , my wife is here, i have a wife from belarus, i came to belarus in 2005, i came here to get an education as a cameraman, colleague, but you take photographs for yourself, for the soul, i started doing digital in 2012 art, during this time i managed to get to minsk organize professional exhibitions, i am now, one might say, with a real artist, with a real master of art, would you like one like that... you are very

interested in the topic of time and watches, and what are the most famous watches you know? big b, which is great britain, but we are in belarus , this is the largest clock in our country, let's come closer, yes, yes, of course, we will find out, let's go, let's go, tamer, it's so good that we met at the station, because i want to introduce you. with one amazing person, this is nikita, a piper or a time keeper, this is a belarusian of syrian origin tamer, and he really wants to know how time is created in general, you can even say such a word, time in belarus, especially the main clock, we have a clock station there, this is what it consists of from several components, it produces digital impulses that pass through the sfferblad, that’s all good, go up there, well, it worked out, nikita,

this is our watch, yes, well, it turns out, that’s what it is, yes, wait, who stole the watch, who stole a watch, the age of technology stole a watch, before there was a large mechanical clock, there was a mechanism, it was two floors in size, and yes, that used to be the case. was serviced by a whole team of watchmakers, in fact it is unreliable, because it is constantly, well, in the end, this is a mechanism , these are constant breakdowns, yes, it is always the wrong time, this little box, this is essentially a small computer, here the watch itself is set , minutes, this sound is something we constantly hear, the hands change, and the hands change, and what remains of the historical clock, but i know, i i read that they were generally given as war trophies, right? some kind of heater

for a watch, if suddenly it happens that the temperature drops below zero, the heater turns on, i felt like some kind of fixie that could get inside some device, have you ever been inside a watch, and i was, this can be said to be a historical moment that i will remember for many years. what a pity that you can’t see this clock from here from the roof, yes, it’s a pity, but when foreign tourists come to visit us station, the first thing they see is this very clock of ours, in fact it is considered the calling card of minsk, they are called the gates of minsk, now we can look through the eyes of the clock, if we approach this issue so philosophically, at the tourists who come, and wave your hand at them a little, but carefully, because i won’t go any further, i can’t get any closer, too? well, take a couple of

shots and i suggest we go down. tamer, we are now going with you to the factory, cool, watch factory, as you wanted, what do you even know about this factory? i know that he in 1953, not that it appeared, but they decided, they thought about creating it, on the market they also wanted wrist watches, pocket watches, you are perfectly prepared, now the journey begins. in time, how this process occurs , how it is created, who starts first, what the parts look like inside, in general, i’m looking forward to the taste,

this is our metalworking workshop, there are turning milling machines here, which actually process the metal and for... manufacturing bodies, the first one is a blank like this, it is made on a lathe machine, from it absolutely, like some kind of pipe , yes, well, in essence it is, it’s like a piece that is separated on the machine, but what kind of metal is it? stainless steel, and the remaining stainless steel bodies come from it, or yes, all our bodies are made of stainless steel, after that there is this design, that is, on the machines that you see, it is processed from this position, to this, it turns out like this... yes, yes, we already have, roughly speaking, a blank of a finished body, and what is the standard diameter watches, well, the standard for men is about 41 mm in diameter, for women 35, but they vary depending on the design, as far as i understand,

that is, everything is done by automation, workers, well, workers set up and debug the machines, of course, of course, but the machines work in offline mode, how long does it take... it was interesting to see that on some of the machines there is a small tv, that is , i immediately somehow imagined in my head that people here turn on the tv and work for fun, i also noticed that there is a mouse, yes, it’s the same as on a computer, it’s also cool, that is, such a machine. here’s a mouse, well, something is pouring, there, by the way, it ’s pouring, everything is fine, everything is fine, everything works, this is a new generation lathe, this is what you see inside, you might think that parts are washed there, but roughly speaking, they are there in oil, and

there they are water, there yes, no, no, this is oil of a special concentration, the parts are cooled there, since metal tends to expand when heated, they need to be covered so that there are no any, in appearance and in size, in order to get into your hands, the watch has to go a long way, and this is what i want to tell you, something. this detail - you showed there how the machines were made, yes, here this, what is the correct name for it, a flatness gauge, you can check it, of course, of course, it can be substituted, you know how, yes, but here. look, if you lift it up, it somehow moves, if it doesn’t work out with the photographer, then you come to the watch factory and start measuring with the case, the watch consists of different parts, if one part is the wrong size, then naturally, it may not sit in its place, i expected that there would be such precision, but

of course i didn’t know how this happens, i was interested in looking at this device, how it measures, and you can find out, for example, the thickness of this part separately, yes of course, try it. you can put it there, yeah , if you believe this device, then we have 3.10, and every part is done like this, or, yes, of course, of course, absolutely every part undergoes quality control, it is then sent to a separate laboratory, where some things happen measurement processes, but this this is the initial stage, the case is not even completely ready, but it is already being checked here so that the parameters coincide with those that were developed, so that later there will be no problems, it ’s not for nothing that they say yes...

how it works, we already have a dial blank , but the dial is attached to the case thanks to special legs; they are inserted here. it is clamped, here, there must be some kind of drill, yes, so that no, no, look, here are these very small parts, these are the legs of the dial, so very small with a picet. and it crashed, try it, yes, it’s very difficult, there is a special pedal, which, when

you press, a current is applied, and in the event of a collision , it turns out that the leg is already welded to the digital board itself, that is, it won’t be welded without any sense, of course, well, now - a machine de-energized just so that it works for you, oh, look how wonderful, i spied how the timer does it and holds this little leg with tweezers. and i immediately analyzed it, understood how it should be held correctly, it should be held sideways, then everything worked out for me, back in the same workshop with us dials are being checked, well, in general , watches are water resistant, now i’ll demonstrate this to you, let’s go, let’s go, cameras, i really love these experiments, quality checks, how they happen, what exactly

i love about them, i love these subtleties, how they came up with some way to check exactly this, we test the part, hang water on top, so there is a chamber , and there is a pressure gauge here, we build up pressure, then we pump it up, let’s say, well, yes, well, i make four atmospheres . why are we doing this, if there is some kind of leak in the housing, then pressure penetrates inside the case , air is obtained, then it penetrated inside the case , and now we lower it, then we release the pressure from above, if the case is not sealed, the pressure inside has become higher, bubbles should appear in that place, i looked there and waited, so now a bubble will come out or a bubble will not come out, and then you bubble twice... is this normal? look, let's go, let's go , you can see, there, there, there, here's the pressure, here,

you see, here's the pressure down to zero, and we see that there are bubbles coming from the key connections, what's that? it says? this means that this place is not a sealed building, that is, we need to figure it out, look, or it’s time for some kind of defect, yes , you can say, there is such a cartoon, there is a seagull flying, screaming bubbles, bubbles, bubbles, that is, when... came out , i thought that there was just water there, yes, the sea, and a seagull flying, bubbles, bubbles, bubbles, now we will go to the airbrush section, where we can see in more detail how our numbers are painted, it will be interesting for you as an artist to see it, mix it up , try the colors, you can visually see, yes, how it turns out, that is, here we have it.

they select small proportions , mix, compare with a template and so they come up with the ideal, let’s say, color i understand, some very high-quality paint, well, it’s an average paint for cars, roughly speaking, yes , because of course it’s not watercolor, not gouache , so i’ll take it first, by the way, i really adore these colors, i love the sun, when i saw different colors, i went back a little... i studied in damascus, mixed different colors,

painted in oils, the same thing here, tamer immersed himself completely into my profession, i stood aside and just watched with my mouth open, ours is darker than theirs, but then we can add yellow to make it lighter, in principle, this is how it works, the people who work in this workshop, they have an artist's eye, how can they mix? paint in such a way as to hit the eye, this is skill, you wanted to put your hand to the scratches you did, the more i paint, the darker it becomes.

what you see now is real work, it’s all completely handmade, and approximately what year is this sketch being executed, approximately the nineties , now they are naturally created on a computer, now there is a lot of technology, tell me, before , watches from the minsk watch factory, as i understand it, were very popular in the soviet union, yes , yes, well, let's start with the fact that there weren’t that many watch factories in principle, and that is , if earlier a watch factory supplied huge watches for the whole country, it could produce up to 1 million watches a year, but now, of course , there is a smaller number, since telephones have appeared that replace anyway, then there is a need to have a wristwatch with you, it’s gone, it’s more like a luxury item, an accessory, my eyes run wild, to be honest, yes, i don’t know where

to look, we have basic collections , there are limited collections, and there are special orders like everyone else. the designer takes his collection, develops its completely visual component, the dial, and the color of the case, what kind of straps will be there, what will be there - the idea, the idea, how it will be implemented, the finished visual is approved by such an internal design council, this visual is transferred to the designer and then it reaches the stage of printing the dial, but when i was told that more than 170 collections in total already exist, they are constantly being improved, something new is being produced, i was impressed. really keep up with the times, you already saw this dial in the previous section, for each element of the design, roughly speaking, there is its own matrix, onto which a certain color is applied, here, let’s say, 12 layers, that is, they were stamped 12 times to get this such a drawing if i, for example, i’ll draw something in a special program and bring it to the factory and i’ll say, i need a drawing like this, yes this is possible, yes we

are possible, i’ll tell you even more, now we ’re having a competition where anyone... how many parts are there in a watch? , there are mechanics, there are mechanics with automatic winding, there are quartz watches, so you can’t count all

the details, if down to the smallest, well, maybe about a thousand, the watch is assembled by hand, a very painstaking process, it’s very strong. concentration is required, so we will try not to distract them, how many hours do they work? so, 8 hours, usually a standard working day, 8 hours, yes, yes, it’s hard, you ’ve seen how these women sit in production, like bees working, sorting out these small parts, inserting something, doing something there, here it starts, it’s all continuous, continuous, continuous, i admire them, i ’ve looked at so much today, my eyes already hurt, but you’re just not used to it, there’s a special light installed here, here it’s scattered. here it’s more precise, even here it’s convenient, yes, of course, for the armrests, so that my hands didn’t get tired, the tables are located a little higher than usual tables, everything is in order to reduce physical activity as much as possible, these devices, i see, they measure the clock, they measure the accuracy of the movement , a mechanism is inserted there and the device checks how

it’s as if it goes at different angles, this mechanism, it repeats the movement of the hand. yeah, yeah, yeah, if it works, then they insert it into the case, close it with a lid, cover it with glass, a dial, so i understand that such beauty is obtained, yes the output is constant, yes, it’s beautiful , the color is also interesting, and the combination, golden, purple, for some reason i expected some kind of huge scale, i never thought that it could occupy several such offices, well, really. production, listen, everyone is responsible , after talking with people, i can say with confidence that they love what they do, you know what, daria, well, i know that there are different types of glass used in watches, yes, but how can i check what it is? quality? glass, well look, there are essentially two types of glass main, this is mineral sapphire glass , we cannot say that it is of high quality, it is of poor quality, that is, ordinary glass will scratch faster, like glass, say

, on a window, sapphire glass, it is not susceptible to scratching, that is, sapphire glass will be in 5 years look exactly the same as now at home, check whether it’s real or not, let’s say, whether it’s a fake or not, there’s sapphire and not sapphire, yeah, there’s a life hack: drop a drop of water on ordinary mineral glass. cheat such wormy glass, it is used, if i'm not mistaken, nanotechnology , i'll use this life hack, i have a lot of clocks at home, i

'll definitely come home today and drip on each of them, so show the tamper what you got, look, i really like all sorts of different tools, they create very interesting compositions in the frame, yes, and are we far enough ? yes, well, this is a remontoire from 1899, 1899, it’s considered, but can i look at it, but then i need to hold it down, i don’t see anything, but at the bottom there is exactly 1899, for the first time holding a monocole, it feels like some kind of great professor, oh, you can’t see anything, you can’t see. it turned out that initially it was necessary to clamp it tightly, but no, it is so ideally designed that it fits under our eye notch, so it

holds quietly, i think they are already so accustomed to looking into these monocles that they probably even they don’t notice whether they hired him or not, it’s a bully here at this plant, no, if you want to see it, yes i want to. cool, if you get carried away you can see all these different scratches, you start to think that this is a scratch, it happened somewhere, somewhere it happened , this is such a story, and you are engaged in the restoration of some, well, this is for the museum, this is even for the museum, but please tell me, you’ve been working for a long time, 40 years, 40 years, 41, here you have enough perseverance, in the beginning it was difficult to sit still. a man passionate about his work, this was immediately obvious, because he was unstoppable, they made a medallion of two coins for photographs, read the year? 1947 these are

the mechanisms april april 15, they sawed everything by hand, well, almost by hand yes, so on the production of watches there took from three months to six months, respectively, and the price of these watches was also the same, of course. when you are given a watch that is many years old, hundreds, your head just spins like a film quickly , how many people here held this watch, and maybe some very important person held it, where did you get all the answers to questions about the watch? , well, i got some answers, but... it’s interesting, you know, we won’t be able to get an answer about how time works in general on us, but how does it affect us? listen, you approach, as always, from the creative side, with

from a philosophical point of view, probably, to this issue, and i probably approached it more from an engineering point of view, cool, this is not an easy matter, timer, thank you very much for this wonderful company, and thank you very much too, friends, seize the moment if you want to become the hero of our project, ask a question, record a video, send it to us. and together we will find out how it is done. a good morning should start with a proper breakfast. tell me, what are you and i going to cook today? today you and i will cook a rather unusual breakfast. it will be in an asian style, it will be spring rolls with a sea cocktail. tell us what we're having for breakfast today, the champion? and today we will have pink salmon meatballs with salad, it will be an unusual

breakfast. very tasty , can’t wait to get started, we will help you choose the ingredients to make your first meal tasty and healthy, choose greens, we need spinach, you know that you should only buy fresh, elastic leaves of bright green color, the color of the beans depends solely on the variety, the pod itself must be intact without any stains dents, let's not forget about the invigorating... we get into exercises, take our hands in the lock , raise them up, lean forward, knees are straight , you can bend your back a little, we lean down, again we also keep our knees straight, our feet are completely on the floor, let's go up, watch the breakfast of the champion program on our tv channel, children's curiosity and genuine interest, hello everyone,

in exactly a minute a hero will come out to us who will answer everything. absolute honesty and sincere emotions of the characters. entering the stage, i roughly know what awaits me, here i am complete ignorance. i am very worried and worried. is it like being nervous before going on stage? yes, a talk show in which famous people answer tricky questions from the younger generation. can your voice break a glass? no, no, it’s probably possible to make a glass that would break at the sound of my voice, but i haven’t seen anything like that yet, let’s just say, irina, are you lucky in love, did you manage to meet your prince, oh, of course, you’re lucky, of course, i’m lucky, i’m just unlucky for a long time, for some reason, see the project 100 questions for adults on the belarus tv channel

24. the heroes of this program chose to live outside the city. you are the same family who, firstly, lives in a village, and secondly, in a house in which one day they began to organize, so to speak, a museum, then everything began to be in a fog and exhibits began. it’s getting more and more, you live right next to the bathhouse, yes, you are doubly lucky, you live next to your bathhouse, yes, which is very cool, as far as i know, you use about 240 cubic meters of shot per year, at least in each issue , the presenter is tested to get a taste of rural life, i would like it to take on a little bit of the appearance of being more or less new, that is, uh , paint it, at your discretion, what

color, what? the most important thing after the bath is to sleep borscht, and lard, bread, this is sacred, i will have a task, this is to eat everything to eat after the bath, everything is simple, the best, yes, watch the project i am from a village on the belarus 24 tv channel, they are dedicated to their work, oh , the commander is the soul of art, it’s not easy. high-quality fabric is living fabric, because it consists of 50% or 100% wool. our job is the art of creating high-quality fabrics containing wool. ready to share knowledge. the basics of life safety, in my opinion, are the most important knowledge in a person’s life. and show one day from your life. i love it, honestly.

i love my job, i really love it, during the production, receipt of tape, yarn , this tape comes into contact with the hands of our creators, these are our women workers, it’s very nice to know that our visitors, leaving our security center, leave with such a wealth of knowledge , which they will definitely need it in life, watch it on the tv channel: belarus 24.
