Does anybody have experience of the Luch 2209 calibre. Its a beautiful thin watch, bought it on Ebay for a few quid but it ha an uneven tick and stops regularly. Any ideas suggestions offers of help greatly appreciated.  I love Russian watches. Recently replaced a click spring on a Slava/Sekonda  2414 and it keeps great time now.

"Uneven tick, stops regularly."

As suggested sounds like the balance.

Demagnitize first, then clean and inspect hairspring, clean and inspect pivots and so forth.

Check the fork pivots, jewels/pins.

Check the impulse jewel lies in the correct place when at rest, in case hairspring has been deformed in some subtle way.

If all of that looks fine, then let down the mainspring, remove the balance and fork, and ensure the power train runs freely.

It might also be worth finding a similar movement on ebay and swap the balance and fork, etc till you find the offending part.

You can buy buckets of these movements from eastern Europe.I have yet to work on a Luch 2209, but I  can tell you other Russian makes can be made to run quite nicely . Provided they have not been dredged up from the bottom of the Black Sea.If you need parts try looking on ETSY. There are numerous vendors in Latvia and Ukraine that have bare used movements.

      Setting power reserve on LeCoultre Futurematic

      By watchfellow · Posted

      Thanks everyone for the replies. It seems setting the hand is a bit of a guessing game, and I thought there would be a very specific way to do it. Since the reserve indicator hand moves clockwise as the spring is wound, I tried setting it right at the start of the black side. But setting it there doesn't really make sense, because by the time the spring is halfway wound, the hand is only at the end of the red side... In my head halfway wound shouldn't mean the hand is still "in the red."

      Lovely part of the country! I spend most of my days driving along the A64 for work in and around York. I'll be sure to drop plenty of questions soon! I've actually got a couple of watches on the way that I'm pretty sure I'll need some help with! They look pretty beat up from the pics but I love a challenge and an excuse to buy more tools 🤣

      Help - London Elliott Mantle Clock Night Silence

      By oldhippy · Posted

      I have two of these in my home. You need to remove the movement from the case, take off the hands and remove the dial and take a few good photos of the front plate so I can see what the problem is. The round nut unscrews and the hands pull off pull them off from the center and not the tips as you could break them.

      Help - London Elliott Mantle Clock Night Silence

      By MapleWood · Posted

      Hi everyone, I tried looking for answers on this online but came up with nothing, so I'm hoping some of you knowledgeable people might be able to help. I have an Elliot clock that has been in my family for at least 4 generations. I recently enherited it, and I'm trying to get it to run properly again, as it's been neglected a bit.  Here,s the problem. These clocks have a silencer mechanism, which is supposed to stop it from chiming between 11PM and 7AM but for some reason mine is silent between 1AM and 9AM. I have tried figuring out how to adjust it but have not managed. Does anyone have any idea on how to correct this? Please find attached some pictures of the clock. Thank you!
