No stem locking screw?


Recommended Posts

Remove the other case screw and remove the bezel and I think the movement will push out from the front. I think this type of movement uses a winding system like some Pocket watches where the square part of the stem fits into a slot held within the barrel bridge and lower plate, similar to a Waltham pocket watch.

The movement is a Cyma Tavannes and the patent number refers to a negative set stem system developed by them and as oldhippy has stated it is similar to those found on some American pocket watches.

Thanks for the information. I thought that I might completely dismantle this movement as it has no value but the balance appears free. I have yet to attempt a full dis-assemble and clean (and, with luck, re-assemble). Failure is definitely an option in this case!

Thanks again.
