Parrenin 171X stops


Recommended Posts

Hello watchfriends, I have a commodoor three start mechanical watch, with a Parrenin 171 movement. The watch runs nice until 23:17 hours. Than the minute and hour hand stop, but the second hand stays running. This problems doesn't occur at 11:17 hours. What could probably cause this problem. Thank you all in advance. With kind regards, Hans

Hallo Nucejoe, yes it has a date complication. Is it the date wheel dat stops the motiontrain you think?

Setting the time by hand works fine. Setting the time changes the date at 24:00 hours is oké to. 

I think that I have found the problem. I removed the dayjumperspring and now it runs. Now I have to find out what the problem is with the jumper/spring. Thnx for thinking along.

Hi Gaus

 Yes I think its the load added by date jumper at hrs 23rd that makes canon pinion slip.

You have bypassed  the load by advancing the hands passed hr 24.

I make sure I have the right spring pushing the date jumper, lubricate the jumper mech and the date ring groove,  canon pinion might need a bit of tightening too. 

Worn date ring teeth is also a possibility in which case the ring is slightly pushed to the side.

Good luck

Hello Nucejoe, thank you very much for your advice. I'll further investigate and  share the results. this seems to be the original spring, but putting it back is a hell of a job 🙂! It take a lot of time and patience!

Hello Nucejoe, I promised to inform you after further investigation. The cannon pinion of the Parrenin consists of two parts (extra gear for friction). The cannon pinion was functioned oké. After lubrication of the jumper mechanism and the date ring groove, the watch runs very nice. So thank you again for your advice.

Hi Gaus, slightly off topic but which model Commodoor is this? I'm looking for a Parrenin 171X movement for a project and there are a couple of different model Commodoor watches on ebay at the moment.

    • in general this shouldn't be any change. but in general questions like this it be nice to know the specifics of the watch in other words how was it performing before it was cased up and what is it doing now.
    • just as a reminder this watch is a Swatch group product. This will bring up a problem like spare parts and technical information. that I found some links to some information on when I talk about your watch and some of the technical and basically your watch is equivalent to 2834-2 for which I'm attaching the technical sheets. But equivalent does not mean exactly the same you want to do a search on the group for C07 as we discussed this watch before including the technical differences how it's supposed to be regulated and basically because it's watch group there is no parts availability. https://calibercorner.com/eta-caliber-c07-xxx/   https://www.chrono24.com/magazine/eta-movements-from-the-2824-2-to-the-powermatic-80-p_80840/ https://www.watchuseek.com/threads/h-10-movement-details.4636991/ eta CT_2834-2_FDE_481857_15.pdf
    • people be honest.... Swatch is evil for the watchmakers and repairers, BUT not everything in watches from Switzerland is from the Swatch-Group. As far as i know, Selitta got sacked by Swatch as a Movement-Assembler for them and they started to produce Movements in their own Name with slight Modifications. As far as i know, they sell Parts to the Market for their Movements. In most cases, if a ETA-Movement fails, it is a valid Option to replace it with a Selitta Movement, which i consider the Solution for this Mess with the Swatch-Group...... I have no Connection to anybody at Selitta, but being a Swiss-Guy, i still like to have Swiss-Made Watches, but not from the Swatch-Group.   ok ? regards, Ernst
    • Just one more greedy act by Swatch. They started a number of years ago here in the US..cutting off supplies to watchmakers that could build complications that many Swatch houses couldn't even touch. Old school masters who had gone through some of the most prestigious houses in the world. Otto Frei has some statements on their page about it. I tell all my customers to avoid new Swiss watches like the plague,..unless they just want an older one in their collection that still has some parts out on the market, or they have really deep pockets and don't mind waiting months and paying through the nose to get it back. Plenty of others to choose from..IE Seiko,..or other non-swiss brands Even a number of Chinese brands are catching up with the Swiss,..and I think that in time, their actions will be their downfall
    • Yes. If that's not what you are experiencing...start looking for something rubbing. A 1st guess is that one of the hands is rubbing against the hole in the center of the dial. Especially if you now have lower amplitude in face up/ face down positions.
