Would anyone know if there is member or a source of spares for a 18s Tremont pocket watch , I do know that Aaron Dennison bought some watches to England

to finish & set up the English Watch Company as a Anglo/American company and marked London not Boston

Thanks

Depending what parts you're looking for you'd probably be best with a donor movement.

Can you post photos to confirm what Grade/Model it is.      Iam looking for a guide pin thead dia approx 1.13mm Ratchet wheel as one in the movement has a few teeth missing

On a movement like this I expect they'd have to be made.

The guide pin you pictured - is that a movable banking pin? They were eccentric pins on a brass screw, found on American pocket watches. There's a chance if you got ahold of an early 18s plate from  Elgin or Waltham that a banking screw might fit yours. Certainly no guarantee.

Yes the guide pin looks like a banking pin. But I don't see what the problem is with this?

Now the other problem here would be lack of standard parts between various companies. Especially in the age of 18 size where things varied between the companies themselves. So basically there's a heck of a lot of variation in 18 size watches and their parts

Well, I guess that OP shows the banking pin that is OK, but the other one is broken. I would drill a hole in the base of the broken one and putt there a suitable tapered pin...

      Smiths rim wind and set

      By transporter · Posted

      Ok, as per pictures I have a smiths rim set and wind on the bench, swimming in oil but all sorted. The fault I have is the mainspring bridle has lost its tab/notch/hook, like a hebdomas pocket watch the mainspring is fitted to a bridal in the barrel which slides around on full wind onto 4 notches in the barrel wall, thus stopping damage to the mainspring by over enthusiastic winding. So my questiion is this, what is the best way to create another hook in the bridal, my thoughts are along the same lines as making a new hole in the mainspring end, annealing etc, but what and how to make the hook?? I have a pair of barrel hook pliers that work great in soft brass but won’t even scratch the bridal, what I don’t want to do is whack a hole into it and not have a hook. the pictures are of the bridal ( broken) and a hebdomas ( complete ) incase you are wondering what I’m on about. And a few of the serivce. Thanks for any advise.

      Decided to give the case and bracelet a good cleaning and my first shot at polishing/brushing. Went with the Cape Cod polishing cloth and gray scotch brite method.  Before First; Then After; Then comparing to some original links from when the watch was new to now.

      It's either bent or hung up on something or both. The hexane won't hurt it, and hanging from a balance tack indefinitely won't hurt it.   If the spring is glued to the stud there's a chance that the glue was softened and the outer coil stuck to the stud. Haven't seen that happen, but I suppose it could. Don't know if hexane affects the glue used either.

      Hello all. some help required here from the community please. I serviced this movement, which was running reasonably well, but the balance spring which was running healthily before I started, after cleaning in hexane for 30 secs, is all bunched up at the stud. I did store the balalance on a tack thereafter for a day.   could the spring be strained under gravity? I demagnetised of course, and the balance is squeaky clean. some help would be much appreciated. Thanks, Tony G
