Recently serviced (not by me) Swiss Hamilton  and my Fathers service award clock.(Hermle movement)

[noirrac1j]

Very very nice--classic Arabic numbers, and no complications.

No not really, it had been sitting in storage for a while, so I gave the pivots a going over and some oiling, it is getting tired (+40 years) and will probably need pro cleaning/overhaul, springs are getting dodgy, will run with full winding and chime for about three days before needing attention, thanks for asking.

[vinn3]

Wiley;  i have worked on a couple o those.   should run 8 days (like most chelsy's do} , but they seem to have trouble with the 3 main springs.  also i like the hermily with a switch on the chimes.   vinn

What a great idea for a photo.

You inspired me to do my own version.

 

[WileyDave]

I like that duo!

[BeyondWorld]

They both military but the watch is british and the clock is swedish. Haha.

You can't have it I want it. It looks like it just came out of the launch silo

I picked it up at the swap meet for $75 . They were asking for more , but I had helped the seller out with some other of his watches in the past so he dropped the price . It's NOS , came in it's packing box from Russia .

The key also locks the front glass panel for a water- tite seal and has an 8 day power reserve on a full wind .

This bugger's heavy .

that is a really nice watch, and an eight day reserve? must be a real submarine clock
