Overhauled a Chronoswiss chronograph today at work, one of my favorite movements, put together the base movement, lubricated jewels and escapement and popped on the timer to have a look at rate................doesn't happen very often but I'll take it!

That makes up for all those days when after many hours of disassembly, cleaning, searching for parts, reassembly and oiling you get a screen full of snow.

I struck gold recently after servicing a 100 year old Omega pocket watch which came to me with a broken mainspring. First run on the timegrapher after tweaking the regulator I got this...

Prepared myself for many iterations of removing the balance to twist the collet round, imagine my surprise when after the first adjustment I got this

Sadly it really needs a new balance staff as things are not so good pendant up, but it made my day!
