What are these tools?


Recommended Posts

Dear all,

 

Recently my watch repair uncle passed away and I inherited many of his tools. I just started my journey into watch repair/maintenance doing only maintenance on the most basic of movements. So my knowledge is very limited. Some of his tools I do not know the purpose off, can you please help?

No 1 I think it’s to support watch hands. I own one which I got it in a job lot of horological tools a while ago and must admit I have never used it.

No 2 is a mainspring hole punch.
No 3 ????
No 4 Looks like an adjustable watch case opener.
No 5 Might be a spring bar bending tool.

1 is a Watchmaker Hand Broaching Holding Pliers

Number 3 is a watch bracelet cutter, I had one, it is for cutting the ends of the  bracelet if it is to wide for the watch case.  You put the end of the bracelet in one of the holes  and  squeeze the handles to cut.

4 is an adjustable case opener but it is missing parts. Here it is complete. 

5 is for bending spring bars.
