Cupillard 233

[antonyh]

I have been given this watch recently, it's of no value at all really, but I decided that I would get it working again, if I could. 

Balance staff was in 2 pieces, lower jewel was smashed and the movement was totally gummed up. 

Good old Ebay got me a staff £8.00 and after a lot of searching through my box of jewels I actually found one that was close, so after opening up the setting with a brooch and pushing the new jewel in place we were a step closer. 

Unfortunately I'd run out of cleaning fluid, my own fault, so believe it or not I had to get out the Pegwood and clean it the old fashioned, but hand. 

But at the end of the day my 80 year old watch thing lives again, I actually don't know what it called.
