Where to buy non-branded movement parts in Switzerland?


Recommended Posts

Hi everyone! I am basically looking for a shop like cousinsuk.com, but in Switzerland, since I live here. I was thinking that, being most of the manufacturers Swiss, I would easily find some online shops to order mainsprings, jewels, springs, gaskets and other general parts. Frustratingly enough, I can't find any that would supply non-branded parts for replacement. Horotec has some stuff but their website is very confusing when trying to buy movement parts. I have also tried the company listed in the Resources section (Horia), but they only manufacture tools. Does anyone know another supplier in Switzerland?

Cheers!

Have ever ordered from Cousins? If not, try. It. Shipping is immediate, delivery time may depend on post. Prices are the lowest and they have a guarantee on that. Truth is, for a lot of items it has no competition.

I think as jdm recomends Cousins is the best place, there are a lot of material houses that will not supply the amatuer/hobbyist. Cousins uk has an open house and will supply no problem

Even Chronoglide in the Netherlands recommends buying tools from Cousins (from Tuesday's live feed if you need to check).

    • Hi John, The most important parameter of the spring is the thickness. The lenght is something that one would not consider as obligatory, as relatively big variations will not affect anything in significant way. The barrel size is related to the barrel and has nothing to do with the spring. Yes, the spring is designed to work in a barrel and the size of the barrel matters, but let this parameter be chosen by the movement manyfacturer, not by the sping manyfacturer who doesn't have idea in what kind of movement the spring will work. Sometimes the washer in which the spring arrives will be bigger than the barrel and there will be no way to just push the spring in the barrel and be happy. Well, if this is a problem for somebody, then probably He is a person with to many problems that will be verry hard to help to in any way. By the way, why You are changing the spring? Is the old one broken?

    • As a beginner, I’ve found this forum invaluable. I doubt I would’ve persevered without its support. I’ve had the confidence to attempt things that seemed to me impossible only because I knew there were patient and giving folks gathered around this watering hole, available to share their skill.    I would very much like to know where to go if this one dries up and everyone needs to decamp.  There’s something special about the folks gathered in this group.  How to keep in touch?
