Thank you.!!! I think most of the watch video makers assume we novices know this part. I had no idea to set the fork to the entry position . Awesome

I broke my third mechanism learning to install the balance wheel by bending the hairspring. Apparently, didn't take my time enough! I'm not complaining, I'll keep screwing up hairsprings and some other shit until I master this f*** work!

I like it's a lesson on one circuit within the watch movement, not too much at once. I'm trying to learn what I can before I try to disassemble a training aid pocket watch that has no hope of ever to work again. That way I can't break it.

Didn't know if I was going to see how to install a balance wheel or spring.

Recently I got a new watch which has a open back case, i noticed that the balance wheel will slow down when the second hand is in the 7 to 10 o'clock position and then speeds up again, is that normal or should I get in touch with the watch maker.

Yes it’s that noticeable visually, yes I would have it looked at

Would the balance wheel still be working without the safety pin (or broken s.p.) on the pallet fork^

@watchrepairtutorials Жыл бұрын

On the bench yes, but as soon as the watch receives a small bump it will stop. The guard pin is part of the safety system of the watch

The problem I have is you can't see the impulse jewel from the top so getting it between the two thind is a pretty hit and miss affair

@sheralam920 Жыл бұрын

you wouldn't miss it if you keep the pallet in its entry position and rotate the balance wheel in the shown direction and then the impulse jewel will move towards the pallet fork. Moreover, while the balance wheel is oscillating the impulse jewel is not always in contact with the pallet fork. The jewel leaves the fork while it swing away and catches it up again while swing towards the fork.

I am building a parts watch "as st 1960/51" that what I believe is a three tab "SHOCK RESIST" spring. How do I gain access to the chaton a jewel? I would greatly appreciate your help. Thanks

I am unclear about what movement you are talking about

Dear friend, I have bought a Chinese watch with a in-house movement. That was smart. :-) The watch run for few seconds and then stopped. Then again the same. Then run for few minutes and stopped permanently. I saw your video and thought I found a solution to my problem. I did it 3 times and then it run again for a whole minute and stopped again. Maybe you have any suggestion what else I could do, before dismantling it totally, which I will do for the first time in my life. :-) But again I have a stopped watch which I can not service where I live. Maybe you can give me your email and I will send you a link to the full video of what happened to the watch so far?

It’s hard for me to read as I am a slow reader. I miss out on the picture. It’s a shame you can’t speak.
