Hello and welcome to the forum, a little introduction would be nice. we like to know who we are talking to and their skill levels.

If you look under the balance wheel there should be a logo and a number, this is the makers mark and the caliber number. If you post a close up of them we most likley be able to find out for you.

So you closed the canon pinion, did you use a mandrel in side the pinion or just squeeze it up.  If its now too small you can always broach it out a little and still get a good fit. This will require a set of broaches (reamers)

This is what I found under The balance wheel. 140-10?

I squeezed it with some nailclippers and a steel wire in the inside.

I finaly got the canon pinion on but the hands doesn´t move ( I can move them with the crown). Could it be to tight now?

Edit: 140-1 c. Found the movement! Thank you for the help!!

unfortunately 17 jewels was a rather common quantity of jewels to this is narrowed it down to a few hundred thousand we need something more like.

So a bit of oil will loosen it, apply the oil and move the hands 24 to 48 hrs with the crown.

Good luck
