1912 Trench watch - any idea which movement this might be?


Recommended Posts

Hi All

Woeking on this George Stockwell trench watch, but the movement has me stumped.  It’s a cylinder escapement and there are no markings on the movement apart from what appears to be a ‘G’ and ‘Made in Switzerland’.  It looks very similar to the movement in this thread below, but has one bridge that covers barrel and train wheels. It needs a new balance staff and third wheel, hence the need to ID the movement.

Based on this website I found, http://mirius.co.uk/CalibreIndex.htm?All,MST

It looks like an MST 48 cylinder movement

Good luck finding parts, however this and the MST 59 may (may) have interchangeable train wheels, so you may (may) have more chances. 

Hope you can fix it!

What a brilliant website. So interesting. Thank you

Many thanks, Lotus. Excellent website! I’ll get hunting. Appreciate the reply 👍🏼

    • Drat and double drat i was looking forward to the royalties on that idea.
    • Compression Spring Various Size. This might be helpful. I have watch furniture restorers and how they go about this problem, they inject glue underneath with a syringe and clamp it, leave over night. Next day remove clamp and it smooth. You could use an iron but be careful not to burn the wood.  https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/265697329513?chn=ps&_ul=GB&var=565484998457&_trkparms=ispr%3D1&amdata=enc%3A1jd_-94ilTHWZLQ3PxHeC1A73&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=710-134428-41853-0&mkcid=2&mkscid=101&itemid=565484998457_265697329513&targetid=1647205088320&device=c&mktype=pla&googleloc=1006662&poi=&campaignid=17206177401&mkgroupid=136851690655&rlsatarget=pla-1647205088320&abcId=9300866&merchantid=119334104&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwir2xBhC_ARIsAMTXk849TnBArEYdgv1DpHf_somCZYmB7ViqD3UtvNJJc_dn4kj0AFxBXngaArSAEALw_wcB
    • 🤣 i think your first statement is rather dramatic, but i will take it in good humour.  I think the thread speaks for itself John.  What we are aiming for and when i say we, thats not actually that many that have spoke up. Is to have a back up plan to keep members in touch in case the forum ever disappears. So in essence yes the group has maybe taken on a life of its own and would like to remain together forever ( 🤣 i can also be dramatic )  maybe more members need to give some input of how they feel about it or say they are just not that bothered.  Either way at least the question gets answered. Can i ask what the forum means to you and how you would feel without it ? Thats one answer Rich from one person, without knowing how others feel the thread was just a waste of time. Aw Rich are you saying you'd miss me ? I'm touched 🙂
