I assume you have all seen how jewels were made. It's a long video, and poor quality, but I found it facinating.

Your untrained eye is very perceptive! Wheel 1 isn't too bad. It is the last wheel in the train so maybe it doesn't get as much power to wear the teeth? The teeth on wheels 2 and 3 are both rolled a bit on the worn edge, wheel 3 more than 2. They are lantern pinions. I'll check the pivots of the pinions and file the burrs off of the wheel teeth. Thanks for the insight! -

This is quite common with these clocks. The problem cause the springs are so powerful but the brass? is soft so wear occurs on one side of the teeth. Clean up the bur and with needle files shape them a little but do not file them shorter as the depth will be wrong and they will not run smooth. Your photo doesn't show it but I expect the wheel train has lantern pinions which can take wear so the pivots can be loose in there holes a little more than the fixed type. This is the style of lantern pinions.
