Hello, I have a problem with the second hand on my chrono. When I reset it, it does not come back at 12 o'clock. I changed it by hand, I also removed and handed the needle at 12 o'clock. I also try holding the button at the top and pressing the button at the bottom. ... nothing works. How to do?!

Have you tried pulling the crown out and pressing both buttons until the hand spins round then press the top button this will advance the chrono secondhand one second at a time repeat until the hand lines up with twelve press the bottom button again and the other hands can be adjusted in the same fashion then push the crown back in once every thing is in sync.

If you have tried this are you sure the hands are seated correctly on the pivots ?

Reset is a sudden move back to zero( indicator is at hour 12)  of stop the watch function.

You shouldn,t worry the fault is not in the movement, rather the hand.

If you want to try fixing it yourself, 

Remove the stop watch hand. Reset to zero. Smear nano amount of glue on arbor the hand goes on, install hand at zero. Let glue dry well before reuse.

If it didn,t work enjoy your watch as is.

Regards joe

    • The part was how it fell out of the movement - the train wheel bridge wasn’t screwed in.    I’ll probably dismantle the part, if I can, to work it out.    The train of wheels ran fine - it was only once the keyless works were installed I noticed the problem. 
    • Hello, I am about 5 months into watchmaking and I love it!   The attention to precise detail is what really attracts me to it. (and the tools!) I am working on a 16 jewel 43mm pocket watch movement.   There are no markings besides a serial number (122248) .  The balance staff needs replacement. The roller side pivot broke off.  I successfully removed the hairspring using Bergeon 5430's.  I successfully removed the roller using Bergeon 2810.   Did i mention I love the tools?! I removed the staff from the balance wheel using a vintage K&D staff removal tool  with my Bergeon 15285 (that's the one that comes with a micrometer adjustment so it can be used as a jewel press as well as a traditional staking tool...it's sooooo cool...sorry..  can you tell i love the tools?) No more digressing..  I measured the damaged staff in all the relevant areas but I have to estimate on some because one of the pivots is missing. A = Full length  A= 4.80mm  (that's without the one pivot...if you assume that the missing pivot is the same length as the other pivot (I'm sure it's not)  then A = 5.12 mm...(can I assume 5.00mm here?) F=  Hair spring collet seat  F=  .89mm   (safe to assume .90 here? .. I am sure that my measurement's would at least contain  .01 mm error ?) G = balance wheel seat  G = 1.23 mm  (1.20mm?) H  =  roller staff  H =  .59mm  (.60 mm?) B  = bottom of the wheel to roller pivot   B  = 2.97mm  (3.00 mm?)     here I am estimating  again because this pivot is missing. So my friends, and I thank you profusely,  can you point me in the right direction as to how to proceed? Do i buy individual staffs?  or an assortment?   Since I don't know exactly the name of the manufacturer, will that be a fatal hindrance?   Tbh, I'm not even sure what country of origin this movement is. Thank you!    
    • Thats why i asked that question earlier, what happens if lubrication is placed directly on top of epilame ?  As opposed to walled within its non epilamed area . I'm not saying its right, i have no idea , just asking questions. 
    • thinking of where epilam should be removed did you know there was a patent that covers this? At least for the escapement I'm attaching it. GB1057607A-1 epilame.pdf
