Watch movement schematics? Do they exist?

Hi There are a lot of tech sheets on the net, not all give the full schemeatic such as you have posted. A lot of them give just the part lists part numbers and a graphic of all the numbered parts but are non the less usefull documents.      Cousins uk,    esslingers,   Wm S Mcaw,     Jules Borel,  and forums such as the watchsite (seiko)  there mat be more its a case of searching the net.  Many members including myself have build up a collection doing just that. Or if you prefer just post pictures of the watch along with make and caliber number and we will see what we can find for you on your behalf.

Post a picture or give the caliber.

 I think most swiss quartz movements are either made or based on Eta or Ronda electronic boards and know how, including your watch, since making the electronic board requires huge capital investment, well more than what tag heuer can afford.

Better grades translates to higher degree of purification of substances used in the electronic board, quartz being the most important substance use in the board. All that means you are likely to get a schematic diagram of the base unless tag heuer released one of its own.

    • Hi a have bunch pallets jewel here a want to replace it with a broken one how do a know witch is the entry stone or exit I know normally the exit one has a bigger locking corners ?
    • I use on of these Eclipse demagnetisers. https://www.eclipsemagnetics.com/products/workholding-systems/table-top-demagnetiser/ I got fed up with those Mickey Mouse blue things and went industrial You can pick them up on eBay from between £70 to £100. They will demagnetise anything. I mean, anything, from a hairspring to a hammer head. The table is about 5 x 6 inches. You are not going to find anything close to being this good! It will demagnetise the biggest and chunkiest of cases with the movement inside. You'll never wonder again if your demagnetiser did the job.
    • Hi Dean, The solution with the alum for the broken screw is good and is generally used by watchmakers from many years, but You have to take off ALL steel parts from the plate. In some movements, the post for the minute wheel, for example, is made of steel. Deeping partly the plate works too, but some marks may left on the line where the solution doesn't cover the plate. Heating the solution is needed to accelerate the process. With the years, a rich collection of screws gathers and then finding the needed screw is not a problem. But till then it will be helpfull if You get some assorted screws lot. The other option is making screws. This is usually for the ones with specific form and sizes that doesn't meet often. But the skill of making screws is something that will never be unnecessary
    • Haha yes you do have to reel in your bidding enthusiasm Michael. I use a " not enough time policy " to restrict myself or else known as sniper bidding. Decide what you are most prepared to bid and place it 7 seconds before the end, cross your fingers ,job done . The price paid here i would say was top  figure another day could have been $40
    • The question is did Baum and Mercier use that movement.  I know they used other ebouches. I  can't find any evidence that they didn't but that doesn't mean they didn't.
