This time i´am restoring a Swiss Ladies Automatic Watch.
It´s a Maurice Lacroix 1490, powered by an ETA 2671. It beats at 28800bph, the lift-angle of the balance is at 51° and it has a power reserve of 38 hours. This movement was released in the early 70´s but can be found in many ladies-watches even today.
The movement isn´t running at all, the crystal and the case is in a good condition but dirty.
I need to disassemble the whole movement, clean all the parts and re-assemble it with some fresh oil. This time it´s even harder to work on the movement. With only 17mm in diameter this movement and all of it´s parts are pretty tiny.
The hairspring of the balance is bent, i tried to fix the hairspring as good as possible. After some slight adjustments of the regulator pin it moves pretty nice again.
After polishing the case and cleaning the crystal, everything can be put together. The new black leather strap with the gold buckle matchs perfect to this watch.
I hope you liked this restoration, if so, like, comment and subscribe ;)
