Poising Question

Recommended Posts

Hello everyone,

I have a question on poising a watch that does not have balance screws. I received a watch for service and the balance wheel has drill holes from the last watch repair person who poised it. My question is is that it is running fast now and I was wondering how do you slow it down.

 

Thanks

You might try to fill the holes with some solder. Just an idea, I never tried it. I would remove the roller with the impulse jewel, though.

Only if you don't have any other choice!

I would leave the regulator  to one side then messing with the balance.

 

What is the Delta on it?

It would help to have a picture of the watch preferably located over the balance wheel. Then did you attempt to move the regulator to slow the watch down? Then is this a poising question or regulating question?

Ĵohn's question is interesting and technical, are you just after accuracy, timing? Or percision? which involves poising ..

Soldering if followed by turning the wheel on lathe to remove the extras can produce descent results, filing off  the extras manually is ruining the wheel.

Some designs,  I hear rolex for one ,  times as poises., for split second accracy which requires near perfect ballance to match excellent h/s. 

If the ballance wheel has no screws, poising and timing are two seperate tasks.

    • people be honest.... Swatch is evil for the watchmakers and repairers, BUT not everything in watches from Switzerland is from the Swatch-Group. As far as i know, Selitta got sacked by Swatch as a Movement-Assembler for them and they started to produce Movements in their own Name with slight Modifications. As far as i know, they sell Parts to the Market for their Movements. In most cases, if a ETA-Movement fails, it is a valid Option to replace it with a Selitta Movement, which i consider the Solution for this Mess with the Swatch-Group...... I have no Connection to anybody at Selitta, but being a Swiss-Guy, i still like to have Swiss-Made Watches, but not from the Swatch-Group.   ok ? regards, Ernst
    • Just one more greedy act by Swatch. They started a number of years ago here in the US..cutting off supplies to watchmakers that could build complications that many Swatch houses couldn't even touch. Old school masters who had gone through some of the most prestigious houses in the world. Otto Frei has some statements on their page about it. I tell all my customers to avoid new Swiss watches like the plague,..unless they just want an older one in their collection that still has some parts out on the market, or they have really deep pockets and don't mind waiting months and paying through the nose to get it back. Plenty of others to choose from..IE Seiko,..or other non-swiss brands Even a number of Chinese brands are catching up with the Swiss,..and I think that in time, their actions will be their downfall
    • Yes. If that's not what you are experiencing...start looking for something rubbing. A 1st guess is that one of the hands is rubbing against the hole in the center of the dial. Especially if you now have lower amplitude in face up/ face down positions.
    • Once a movement has the dial and hands put back and it is recased, would you expect the assembled watch to have the same amplitude as when the movement is in a movement holder and is without hands and dial? Thanks
