Swiss hallmarks for silver are a bear or a grouse.

I think you need to start at the Pocket watch data base to get all the information about your watch. Go there and type your watch serial number into it . The site will tell you model, jewel count etc.From there you can search Ebay for the correct model , jewel count & with all the information you have. I'm sorry if I am repeating things you know but I am just assuming, correct me if I'm wrong. Here is a link to the data base. https://pocketwatchdatabase.com/ Now you can begin

I love Hampden 18s pocket watches & have four that I have restored & probably that many as parts movements. I don't want to know how much time & money I have invested in this beautiful coin silver favorite of mine If it is very important to you for sentimental reasons I would say go for it.

I think you are going to need another movement with the balance complete, or someone who has many parts for this cal. From what I can see you are missing a load of parts.

As clock boy has said its the keyless side. Remove the cannon pinion and just run it and see if it stopes. Add parts one by one to test until complete. Add hands without the dial. Run a complete test out of the case. When you are satisfied case up the movement less the dial and test. Working this way you should be able to find what is stopping the watch. The cannon pinion needs to be just so, to lose hands won’t carry, to tight will cause the movement to stop.

I would say its more likely to be Victorian. Cylinder escapement. I cannot see any hallmarks so I am assuming it is not silver. Here is a movement very similar dated 1881. This movement is a swiss cylinder movement.

Looking at your vids it is nothing to do with the going train all looks fine. The fault will be on the keyless side, loose canon pinion or a intermediate wheel installed upside down or a pinion that is not tight with it's wheel.

Please give us more information. What exactly have you done so far? Tell us about the watch? Does the second hand stop when the minute hand does, or does it keep ticking? We need more to go on> I'm sure when we put our collected heads together, with the help of everyone on the forum, we will get your problem solved.

Check for dirt in the gears. As well, make sure that the hands are free and not touching each other or the face Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro
