Just repaired a Huygens clock. I'm posting some photos of the motion works behind the dial. Note that the center winding shaft is at the upper position which transfer the winding action by a few wheels to the lower position where the mainspring barrel is normally located.

**BLEEP** good effort mate, you're like me with these watches, you just want to get them ticking again, well done for not giving up, im 3 years now waiting for a dial to come up for sale on eBay etc for my ww2 glycine, 3 years!!!!!! Oh well the wait goes on And we'll done to the other members for the font of knowledge that they share.

Its called a dial test indicator there are many how to video's on you tube if you search the site

Hi everyone, Finally had the chance to get the pallets and escapement out. Everything looked fine. So i cleaned it up, lubricated, reassembled and behold! No more escapement fault! Stronger amplitude too! So to be honest i'm not sure exactly what was wrong, likely some contaminant in the escapement. Watch sounds much better too. The amplitude is still not where I want it, but I have a new balance assembly on the way and I'll keep you guys updated to see how that improves things!

LOL, nope, it was washed a while ago, but only got round to wearing it again last night

Nice resurrection James. Your efforts paid off and that's another nice diver rescued from the scrap heap.
