Hey folks,

I'm moving away soon and trying to scale down a bit,

I picked up these two clocks in charity shops and they have been on the long term backburners.

The Junghans appears to just need a service and the balance swings intermittently, the Looping is a Cal.51 and appears to run fine, but the alarm needs some attention.

I will post these free to whoever would like them, preferably in Ireland or the UK (so I save a but on postage)

P.S. I ran this by OH to see if this was OK to post here

A very generous offer, I have too many on the back burner would be good if someone who's wanting to try moving into clocks got these, the looping is a very good quality alarm clock fully jewelled movement.

I'm more than happy to offer these a good home and would be very useful to me as I continue to accumulate movements to gain experience. If that would be acceptable I may be able to offer a pass on gift to a member myself.

 

Opps where are my manners,....please :)

I’ve visited the looping and it’s running fine, it needs a new glass which I will source. The outer rim is tarnished and will not polish out so would need replating. The face has some tiny pitting spots which will not polish out but with a new glass will hardly show. 

Its a lovely little piece and one that will stay in my collection :)

The dial on the looping cleaned up very well, fair play!

It looks like solid brass? If so, you can just take the old laquer off with paint remover, then polish it and redo the clock with laquer you buy in spray cans, wipe it over with mineral turps first to take off any resadue. Don't leave it raw brass as it will tarnish quick and you will get fingerprints all over it.

Anyone have any suggestions on how to do the rim?

      Introduction

      By Randy55 · Posted

      Welcome to the group Stirky. You can search for just about every subject in the craft here. Don't be afraid to ask if you can't find the answer that may have already been covered ( some ad nauseum LOL ). You don't have to buy Bergeon to get good quality. There are many decent mid-range tools available that will last you a lifetime. Cousins would be a good place to start . Cheers from across the pond ! Randy

      What are these Seitz B-Jewels?

      By Jon · Posted

      I picked up a similar amount of these jewels some years ago in a watch and clock fair. Every now and then they come in handy. This week I've got a rubbed in bombe jewel in the balance cock that is cracked and needs replacing. Very handy to have a vintage assortment of these type of jewels!

      Great diagram with the teeth and pinion count. Simple way to reduce the speed of the hour wheel by the 12:1 minute wheel. Genius and yet so simple. Always good to reinforce the principal by what you have done in your drawing. Keep doing that. I had a drawing on my wall for years showing me this which is very similar to the drawing you have done. Here's a formula to work out the beats per hour of a watch movement. The movement's BPH is dictated by the wheel teeth and pinion count and the hairspring being vibrated to the correct BPH by finding the pinning up point on the hairspring using a vibrating tool.  The reason in the formula there is X2 on the top line is because there are two pallet stones.

      So I just wanted to say "thank you" again.  The angle is the key bit it seems and yes, it did basically just fall, or float, back into position when I got it lined up just right. I had meant to add that now that I see how it goes in, I totally see how it came out in the first place, and that whomever cloned the original movement didn't pay much attention to the fine details around the setting or how it interfaces with the balance cock or the "rings" on the regulator and/or stud carrier arms.
