Nice work. In the last year, I have been servicing Accutron 218s. I have the official Accutron hoder that provides electrical contact to the movement. It is a pretty clever design. There is a cut in the ring of the holder (shaped like a "C"). When in relaxed state, the holder is slightly smaller than the watch movement. You spread the cut slightly and drop the movement in and release. Very clean. I have made 3D versions of this setup. Have not explored using it generally for other movements. -

Yes watchie , the indirect center seconds wheel. Also known as a sweep wheel remover. If you zoom in to pullers you will see one plain bent puller and the other is split to bridge over one of the spokes. Cousins have been out of them for ages , they say the manufacturer for them for bergeon is no longer in business. Another company is supposed to be stepping in whenever that might be. The new ones dont look as well made as the vintage ones, but thats standard these days. I know you prefer the old swiss tools anyway. -
I believe railroad timekeeping was better than 30s per week? As long as the watches are fully jewelled, I imagine that with a nice big balance, the timekeeping should be pretty good on pocket watches. I have a couple of Waltham Riversides, 17J and a 19J, with overcoil hairsprings. It's years since I cleaned them, but I remember wearing one for a couple of days, and it was running within 2s/day (without me touching the balance wheel weights).
