Where is ratchet mech

[Boogi11]

Hi all. I have wanted a jump watch for ages and picked this up cheap . It won’t run, I think it’s dirty which I can sort , but also I can’t see the ratchet for the main spring . It has failed or is missing , any ideas

Looks like it's missing, or is broken...Baumgartner 582. I might have one in spare parts...but show a pic if its broken and the piece is under the wheel anyway.

Its missing then. The click spring sits underneath the ratchet gear and you would see it in this place:

Congratulations. Step one has been successfully completed. Now you know what you need to replace, but that doesn't mean everything else is OK, but let's hope so. I'll look to see if I have a click spring for the 582.

This one is broken. I found a picture of another one that is also bent but still complete:

The click spring holds the  ratchet wheel that keeps the arbor and mainspring from uncoiling after you've put power into the mainspring...i.e winding the watch.

Most watches have a 'click' that locks the ratchet wheel from allowing the mainspring to unwind between winds and in general running, and a separate component, a  spring that pushes it into place to do so, this is a click and spring in one component.

Yes thanks for pointing out that fact. This is a click and spring in one.

Well boys, this is a momentous occasion , after recking about 8 raketas , I have finally stripped a non working watch , cleaned rebuilt and got it working (still need a ratchet) this is so satisfying , wanted a jump watch for ages and now it’s my first repaired watch

Jules Borel seems to have the click spring in stock
