Helllo, i want to introduce myself, i am Carl, from Argentina, currently living in the beautiful Paraguay.

I always loved the intrincate mechanisms of this important devices that helps us be aware of the pace of time, even tough i am not a repairman, but i have done maintenance on my old family clocks with success. Sadly i dont have pictures of my limited but i believe fairly interestin collection of clocks and watches, but sure enough i will post them as soon as possible.

I will also introduce them:

1- 1882 "Junghans" (that's what the face says, but it was redone in 1985, so they could put any name on it) long case clock, movement works with two weights, sounds once every half hour and every hour the correct number of times. 2 meter tall, very nice curved glass and vitraux.

2- (manufacture date still to confirm but between 1861-1882) Elias Ingraham shelf clock. It has an alarm which you can set at the desired timing, with a separate ringing mechanism (missing).

3- Udine & Co. Cifra 12 "flap display" clock, working but missing a gear to the hours. That thing is HUGE!

Watches i have a lot, none of them wirking (for now), except an old Seiko Automatic and my favorite, a Citizen Titanium 3510-352181 TA (wich i consider a very nice timepiece).

Thats all for now.

 

Cheers!

Carl

      Balance cock stud screw

      By Neverenoughwatches · Posted

      As Richard said, this is a really old school trick for joinery.  Cut i strip of paper, might need to be watch paper  around 1 " x 1/2" lay it over a staking block then press the stud screw into and through the edge of the paper upto the head of the screw. You probably wont even need to pull the paper away the head will pull itself through.

      Waltham 6/0 d winding stem

      By ooteenie · Posted

      Hello,  i am looking to source a winding stem (winding arbor) for a waltham 6/0 d movement. I have found some that claim to fit 6/0, 6/0s, 6/0b etc and somealso claim they will also fit the d as well. The d does have hacking which is driven by the stem seating completely. Given some of the costs of these, i was hoping someone would know of any interchangeability with a source, or know a source where a confirmed 6/0 d stem can be had. I am in the US so a US dealer is best.    thanks in advance.

      So great to see and hear- your mum looks great! …my mil had a stroke last summer in the golf course parking lot. I’m flying out tomorrow to visit and play golf. she’s ornery because she can’t get off the tee but I hear she makes up for it on the greens since she’s been putting since a week after her stroke 🧐…
