Andy, thank you for the link. Interesting video. The Movado uses a slightly different system and the Ermeto and Ermetophon use entirely different systems except for the rack and pinion winding which is similar in both. The Ermetophon has winding arms which link the case to the movement and serve to transmit the winding effort when the case opens and closes. I have taken apart/assembled both types but would like to hear from someone else who has also done one to compare notes. Thanks again for the help.

Couldn't the leather be replaced? 

This is a rare, collectable much sought after,

rather pricy clock, which one wants to keep the integrity of.

The vid Andy posted didn't open on my device. 😩

 

Don, will you post pix to show which type is your clock.

      The Watchmakers App

      By deni2s · Posted

      The new iOS app for watch enthusiasts just got released! The app helps easily identify watch movements caliber (with most advanced filtering options), and also the most up-to-date list of U.S. import codes found on the movements. The app and the data is being constantly improved and updated. Hope you will find it useful. Get it at thewatchmakersapp.com!

      Elgin Grade 315: Runs/stops with dial down/up

      By docrpm · Posted

      Thanks very much for your thoughts @nevenbekriev...I tried to get a better picture of the side pivot, but it was tricky. I've zoomed in a bit in the attached. I'll need to use my microscope to take a closer look. The cap stone looks to be in great shape (see third picture above). I was thinking about pulling off the hairspring and seeing how freely it spins...I can give that a shot. I'm tempted to just replace the balance staff. 😁

      St 97 Balance stopping when screwed down

      By enz0 · Posted

      Hi thanks for the response. When I got the watch it was running really low amplitude and around +400seconds per day so I thought it just needed a service at first. I did notice that the balance wasn't spinning as freely as it should be when I put it back on the mainplate for cleaning

      Center wheel spindle fit

      By graemeW · Posted

      This watch has a center wheel with a push out center pin. The cannon pinion is tight on this pin. Am I right in thinking there needs to be some slip in the system to set the hands? In some movements the cannon pinion slips on the pin, in this movement the pin slips in the center wheel. I have 2 movements. One has a good wheel but the pin is very tight (it's bent and got some dents, presumably to tighten it up in the wheel) the second has a snug fitting pin, feels good, but the wheel is rough. Good pin in good wheel is loose. Am I right in thinking if it's loose the hour hand won't turn as the center wheel won't turn the cannon pinion.   Assuming all my thinking is right so far, my question is, how much slip is needed?  I'm sort of going on some incomplete information I picked up somewhere else, I might have gotten how this works wrong. The cannon pinion is very tough to remove as it's tight on the pin, so don't really want to be taking it apart over and over trying to get this right. While we're at it, what's the proper way to get the cannon pinion off these? I'm sure it's not the way I did it 😂. Also, what's the proper way to refit? I've done one before, I supported the bottom of the shaft and pushed the pinion on. Not 100% sure I got it on far enough, but it all worked. Are you supposed to use a staking set and knock the pinion back on?
