Hello.

I would like to know the watch lift angle value.

I looked at the watchguys website where many brands are listed, but there were some models that were not available.

For example, brands like Breguet or Panerai. Is there a site that organizes them? I'd like to ask for help.

Thank you.

Breguet or Panerai.

From the most part all of the lift angle listings basically came from the same place. As timing machines came into existence that can measure lift angle which are relatively modern those companies produced listings. But that was also the day were watch companies were more likely to tell you with the lift angle is versus today where modern companies don't want you playing with their watch. That means you're not going to get a service sheets servicing information or a left angle. Then of course anything vintage there was no timing machines there was no need for the lift angle

Then if you do a search online PDF shows up and here's another link

Then if you absolutely really have to know There helpful videos like this one

You will not find a better list most likely.

Best is finding the correct lift angle with the help of a time grapher at 180 degree amplitude.

Thank you.^^

      A lathe with indexing that won't break the bank?

      By coreymsnow · Posted

      Hi folks, I'm doing some homework on getting a watchmaker's lathe, and it's clear I have a lot to learn. But I know one goal: I want to be able to fabricate wheels, which would require an indexing capability. I know how to use large lathes- like, giant metal lathes- but my experience is a few decades old now (but you never forget the smell of the metal cutting oil). So I'm looking to learn anew, and have a goal to get to a point where I can fabricate some basic watch parts. I also have no specific timeframe and want to do this right, so I'll be patient and learn what I need to before spending the money. I know I'm not going to get anything for a pittance, but I'm also not really able to put together the scratch for a $5-$10k lathe. What's out there for a hobbyist that can either handle some fabrication out of the box or can be relatively easily made to do so? Thanks!

      Hello and welcome to the WRT forum.   This usually points to broken balance pivot.  Though a watch in need of clean & lube can do the same. Easiest diag would be to  see if balance pivot doesn't stay in hole jewel of the setting, when you lift one side of balance rim with an oiler or gently with pair of tweezers. Another would be to detach balance complete from the cock and take a look at pivot under high maginfication.  Regs

      Help with Hermle ships clock

      Ahhh, yes.  I hadn’t thought of that.  I’ve serviced quite a few of these and the first time I didn’t realise it was a ships strike pattern!  Ha ha, confused me totally until I realised.

      Help with Hermle ships clock

      By Rixy · Posted

      Hi Mike, I did, thanks. Found this clip that was really helpful:   It says Seth Thomas but it's actually the same Hermle I've been working on. I'd had it working correctly all along but hadn't noticed that the lever with the sprung end stops the hammer a bit short of the bell on the second ding at the end of the half-past sequence. If only I'd put the bell on when testing, rather than just looking at the hammer, my ears would have told me it was working,  even if my eyes didn't!
