After years of frustration repairing quartz movements, I finally came up with a design for a movement holder that works.

My biggest problem when putting back a quartz movement was the rotor and stator just wouldn't stay in position. The slightest vibration would displace the 2  of them and they would end up stuck together. 

I've tried the sticking a screw or magnet to the bottom plate trick with varying success. But nothing beats this magnetic movement holder.

I made it this morning out of an ice cream stick and a piece cut from a whiteboard magnet. It worked so well that I managed to put 2 quartz movements back together with no hiccups!

Try it and tell me what you think.

Hi Hector well done   its frustrating when the rotor jumps about when you are fitting the plate so anything that makes the job easier is always welcome, simple solution to a frustrating problem.
