  1. clockboy started following ETA 2824-2 Amplitude, How to close the watch hands collet without a staking tool?, "Louis XIV" alarm pocket watch. and and 7 others

    Providing you support the centre you could try and squeeze it down a touch using a pin vice. Warning without supporting the centre using something like a brass pin it will go out of shape.
  3. clockboy
    That is a great idea. Many here would like to see how it functions.

    Very nice, very nice indeed. There is a watchmaker on youtube who's name is Richard Perrett. If my memory serves me well, I think he did a vid of an alarm pocket watch. Worth a look.

    Ok most likely it is not the correct ratchet wheel . Looking at the pic and the gearing it looks like it is a touch to high.
  11. clockboy
    Maybe the ratchet wheel is upside down. See below the PUW 61 http://www.ranfft.de/cgi-bin/bidfun-db.cgi?10&ranfft&0&2uswk&PUW_61

    Thats going to be difficult to source. The only way will be to purchase a donor movement.

    The issue is the new Bergeon cannon pinion removers are not the same as the vintage version. The vintage Bergeon cannon pinion removers were far better and could remove the summer pinions. A dead straight pull/lift is essential for the cannon.

    Return it, any fiddling /case back opening could effect the warranty agreement.

    It might be too long and too strong.
  20. clockboy
    Looking at your pic remove the stem and the movement and dial should come out from the rear.

    I agree with AdamC re-canon pinion could be the issue. However if it is happening in only one position it points to a hand position issue.
