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. -

Hello and welcome from Leeds, England. -
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! -

Define good. I think it's mid level movement, not low quality. Please post photos of the rest of the watch. -
5 years ago my father gave me an old omega pocket watch which belonged to his father. The watch run for a few seconds when shaken and then stopped. I am by nature a tinkerer so I started looking on internet for a fix for my new acquisition. I came across amongst others "the nekkid watchmaker" YouTube channel and I fell in love with watches and watchmaking. I already have a substantial collection of vintage pieces which I have restored. To make a living I am a digestive surgeon and my other hobby is radiocontrol scale model flying
