Good day everyone! I am new to your forum. I got a strange Looping travel watch. It is made in Switzerland. But I have not met this type of mechanism anywhere. So I'm posting a photo, maybe someone knows this type of mechanism. Best regards, Peter

Thank you for welcoming me to your community! I need to know about that mechanism. I sent the photo. Maybe someone knows about such watches?

Best regards, Peter

It has one winder that winds the going and the alarm side, the alarm runs if you do not stop it or shall I say you fail to wake up it will run down and stop by means of a stop work. They are good movements and the parts should be cleaned in a watch cleaning machine. It is an easy movement to take apart and put back. I would suggest you take loads of photos as you take it apart. Oils to use a good pocket watch oil on the going and alarm, windles clock oil for the barrel spring and arbor and on the alarm wheel next to the hammer and where the hammer contacts the hammer wheel. Just ask if you need anymore advice.

Good evening! Thank you for your attention and understanding! Do you sometimes have a scheme for assembling the mechanism of this type of watch? It appears to be Looping caliber 44/45. Or a link to a site where you could download such a scheme. I would be very grateful!

Regards,

Peter

Thanks, Oldhippy!!!

Best regards,

Peter

I will be following this thread.  I have a Looping travel alarm clock also, and I will post pictures of mine in a bit.  But I did not find any technical documents or diagrams about it either.

Addendum: adding pictures of my own movement.  It is in fantastic condition and amazingly accurate.  It is apparently very rugged also, because its case was a wreck.  I plan to make a beautiful case for it later.

      What are these Seitz B-Jewels?

      It's pronounced "bombay" like the city.  French for bomb is, 😄, bombe, pronounced the same as in English. Bombé, bombe.

      That's a really good idea! I have a 3d printer, I think I'll design something that I can clip on to the edge of my desk to do the same. Thanks for the idea.

      I looked up bombè, domed in French.  It's pronunciation is bomb, does a bomb (explosive device) get It's name from bombè? I know we're going off subject but it's interesting.

      Okay, I checked with the fine folks at the McCaw Company, and they agree it's the correct crystal, and they have one in stock, so with that sorted time to get onto assembly. Starting by getting the spring into the barrel, which was a bit harrowing. It took me several tries to get it hooked onto my worn old winder arbor, but I did find a new use for the micrometer stand I just purchased. Carefully dabbed some Kluber P125 braking grease to the left of the divots around the barrel, and a little HP1300 on the floor of the barrel before popping it in--in case you haven't seen it, this is a great illustration I found somewhere on this site. You're not the boss of me, Bulova.   2172_Bulova 11AOAC 11AOACD 11AOACB.pdf Bulova_11 AOAC, D, B(1).pdf I got the train back in and it didn't seem as free as I'd like. Looks like the driving wheel with cannon pinion has zero end shake. That could explain the low amplitutde I started with. Now if you were me, would you push on the plate jewel or the bridge jewel? I've attached some extra pictures in case anyone sees something else I'm doing wrong here.
