New Toys/tools For 2015

[clockboy]

New tools for the new year. Could not afford the Bergeon  so found these sold as mint condition from the USA including postage $139. Just import duty to add. Hoping they work OK as I have been using an old K&D pocket watch mainspring winder or inserting by hand but after some mishaps thought I give these a try.

Never used that type before but I understand they work on the same principle as the Bergeon ones.

Mark, Hopefully at the price I thought worth a punt

Hi clockboy,

 

What brand are those and if/when you have a chance, let us know how well they work. I might be looking for some soon just to get the experience and hopefully the addiction! So far, I do it by hand...

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Cheers,

 

Bob

Thanks clockboy, I thought the K&D were the old ones!

It am not sure but I think K&D made spring winders for pocket watch & wrist watch. These were sold as Mint condition and look brand new.

Someone else on the forum might have better info.
