Dear All,

I recently purchaced some great tools of the daughter of a late watchmaker. With me beeing a novice (working om Mark's course # 1) and the lady not having a clue about here fathers' trade, I'm facing challenges with some of these tools. What are they called and what are they intended for?

1 M.K.S Made in Japan. This seems a quiet rough tool for watches to me... Could it be for clocks?

2 La Coulissante

3 Aluminum piece, the "knob" does not come off.

4 Interesting... but what are they?

5 All little lids fit in the tool

6 A kind of clamping tool?

7 An interesting looking spanner

8 A kind of drill, but it does not look this should go in an drilling machine

9 various sizes, hollow plastic noses, with spare noses, old but brandnew, noses cannot be pressed in, are they some kind of oilers

Hope someone can help me out. Now, back to my study. Assessment coming up tomorrow!!

Kind regards,

Bert

I need bigger photos of everything else before I couls guess what they are.

Number 1 is a case back opener I think the long metal rod fits through holes on the silver round slotted part the black parts are dies that fit into it also, these dies I think are for Rolex case backs are they very finely toothed along their edge ?

This is take on the tools:

1: ???????????
2: A screw case opener
3: Looks like a screwdriver holder
4: Types of clamps mainly used to resize hand pipes
5: ??????????
6: ?????????
7: I think this is a tool for punch holes in main springs
8: A pin vice
9: Might be either various hand setters or quartz trimmers, which were required in some vintage quartz movements.
