What size was the barrel as Bergeon do up to 19mm but they aren't cheap. In the past I've made some of my own using stainless tube and a suitable arbor from my set.

The brass and the copper too have some weak magnetic features. So very strong magnet will attract light brass hairspring pin, also brass shavings and similar. But, it is not worth to search for such pin when it has been pinged in earth orbit. OP, no need to unpin the spring. The entire stud is easily removed from the balance cock -
Hi all What are the options when it comes to Mainspring Winders for the larger barrels found in Pocket watches, I have sets from Watch-Craft and a K&D set but neather came close to the size of the Barrel on the watch i was working on today, i did manage to get the spring in using the largest adaptor in the Watch- craft set but it was quite a bit smaller than the barrel, where there any sets available that were made for larger sized barrels. Thanks for any help with this. Paul

Thanks @Mark I think the pin vice to hold the wheel and rolling the pivot in the staking block could work if I take it steady. Will give it a go 🤞 That’s great thanks very much. Thanks for the links. It’s always good for me to add to my growing list of resources.
