Hi to all .

Yesterday I bought a 'TEMPO' brand watch for the ridiculous sum of $ 2 in a garage sale. This watch has a movement 25 Jewels swiss made automatic. ETA 2789-1 And she has her original metal bracelet. As I know these are quality movements without having a lot of inscriptions on the movement (At least, that's what I think), I do not know what year this watch was made and by what company. Would there be a member who knows, and the mark and the approximate year of manufacture of this movement and the watch? thank you and sorry for the bad pictures

If you need to look up watch names the following site is very useful :

http://mikrolisk.de/show.php

Tempo as a watch name was first registered in 1904 and a lot of pocket watches turn up with the name on the dial as is the case with many of these names the companies who make them are bought up and change ownership and the name is then registered to the new company your watch is typical in style to watches produced in the late 60's to mid 70's. Using the site above will allow you to work out who owned the company in that period, the name is still in use today.

      Introduction

      Welcome to the group Stirky. You can search for just about every subject in the craft here. Don't be afraid to ask if you can't find the answer that may have already been covered ( some ad nauseum LOL ). You don't have to buy Bergeon to get good quality. There are many decent mid-range tools available that will last you a lifetime. Cousins would be a good place to start . Cheers from across the pond ! Randy

      What are these Seitz B-Jewels?

      By Jon · Posted

      I picked up a similar amount of these jewels some years ago in a watch and clock fair. Every now and then they come in handy. This week I've got a rubbed in bombe jewel in the balance cock that is cracked and needs replacing. Very handy to have a vintage assortment of these type of jewels!

      Diagram for 6497 motion works

      Great diagram with the teeth and pinion count. Simple way to reduce the speed of the hour wheel by the 12:1 minute wheel. Genius and yet so simple. Always good to reinforce the principal by what you have done in your drawing. Keep doing that. I had a drawing on my wall for years showing me this which is very similar to the drawing you have done. Here's a formula to work out the beats per hour of a watch movement. The movement's BPH is dictated by the wheel teeth and pinion count and the hairspring being vibrated to the correct BPH by finding the pinning up point on the hairspring using a vibrating tool.  The reason in the formula there is X2 on the top line is because there are two pallet stones.

      So I just wanted to say "thank you" again.  The angle is the key bit it seems and yes, it did basically just fall, or float, back into position when I got it lined up just right. I had meant to add that now that I see how it goes in, I totally see how it came out in the first place, and that whomever cloned the original movement didn't pay much attention to the fine details around the setting or how it interfaces with the balance cock or the "rings" on the regulator and/or stud carrier arms.
