Help identifying a swiss made pocket watch


Recommended Posts

Can anyone help me identify this watch. it's marked swiss made. I got a bunch of pocket watch parts. I'm just curious.

I also have a bag full of 1872 model waltham riverside parts that I'd like to find a body and or parts for. also an 83' grade 1 waltham I'd like to find parts for if anyone has an idea where to find them. I'd like to build one just to say I did.

Definitely not worth getting parts for but worth keeping for parts you may need them one day its a fairly common Cyma movement, I can only suggest Ebay for Waltham parts there's plenty about.

Okay I'll just pack it away.  Maybe someone on here will need a part one day, who knows.

I actually have one of those Cyma movements in a hunter style case that runs and keeps good time (photos below). I'm curious if anyone can give me a "ball park" production date? The beast is in a "Star" case (probably the original case???). No visible serial numbers on the movement, but the case number is 334234 FWIW. I've come up with a production range from 1920 to 1960.

    • Oh well, if Master @nickelsilver says it's the way to go, then it is the way to go! I stand corrected! 🫡 Are there any other places where you're supposed to remove the epilame from the contact point of rubbing? I don't think so! Thanks for the effort @Neverenoughwatches, much appreciated! 🙂👍

    • For clarity and ease of testing, I redid that diagram, flipping the circuit to match the layout of the physical watch.
    • Hello, Thanks for the reply. The old jewel will get pushed out from the "outside" which is the dial side. The new jewel will get pressed in from the inside (shown below) which is the movement side, correct?     And the old jewel and spring will get pushed from the is the "outside" which is the dial side. Thank you very much for the information. I will take out the KIF spring and save it. Will update when the new jewel is in place!   Regards, Joe
    • It's a little circlip style retaining clip to keep the pinion from riding up out of position.
