I am assuming that the seconds hand is ticking normally, but the hour and minute hands are either not moving at all or are losing time erratically. If this is the case then one of the most common causes is a loose canon pinion. Another symptom of this is a lack of any resistance at the crown when you set the time. Note: your movement appears to be an AS calibre. I can't tell which one but it looks to be something like a 1950/51 family. AS movements don't always have the canon pinion where you think it should be and the 1950/51 use an off set arrangement with the canon pinion sitting between the setting wheel and the minute wheel.

Ah the old springy boingy things that are attached to watches. I usually work inside a large clear ziplock bag movement, tweezers, driver, pegwood and right hand inside zipped up and rest of me outside then if anything flies I can usually find it I think the longest I've searched for a spring is 2+ hours before giving up and consoling myself with a large vodka.

get a watchmaker's bench - with glass guard

That's it sorted George. I look forward to seeing progress on this one, this was the first type of chronograph I repaired.

A little more progress ..... Numbers for the dial Hands made out of an old mainspring, and polished finish Can start to see roughly the shape in mind
