Here with have a Longcase clock and a close up of the dial. This is just an example as there are hundreds of various styles of case and dials about all made at various times in the making of Longcase clocks.

This type has a very distinctive name.

What is the name given to this type of Longcase.  I'm not after the name of the type of case.

I would say that this clock is a "Penny Moon longcase"  due to its distinct small size moon phase,

Correct its a penny Moon. The dials of these clocks very from simple 12 inch square to decorative arched dials. This type was more popular in the north then any other part of the country.

Well done wise1971. I think so far you have got them all right.   133 views and only 1 got it right. :D

      Automatic vs Manual movement servicing

      By Klassiker · Posted

      Agreed. There are many different automatic winding mechanisms, each with their own quirks wrt. lubrication. Access to the specific service instructions is the ideal. Otherwise, ask here for advice on the movement you are working on.

      I put the original broken glass (whats left of it) behind the acrylic. This is how it originally looked like. A cheap clock but I like it. Very noisy when the alarm comes wake up guaranteed! 🙂

      Automatic vs Manual movement servicing

      By mbwatch · Posted

      If at all possible, find a service guide for the automatic movements your work on, because the lubrication procedures may have different requirements or rely on oils you would not use in a manual wind train (in addition to the braking grease you mentioned). Some autos like older Seikos do not have a manual wind option, so the procedure of letting down the mainspring without being able to use the crown may require a screwdriver in the ratchet wheel screw and great care. Do you have an auto movement you were planning to start with?

      I am an amateur, so there's that. I do not get fixated on amplitude, lift angles, and beat error. However, 4.8ms would bug me if it were my watch. But you must judge your own skills to appreciate the possibility of going backward. I suggest, that you button it up let your friend enjoy the watch for now. As your skills progress, come back to it and correct it. I assume that this watch has a fixed hairspring pin. Some modern watches have an adjustable pin along with adjustable regulator. These are trivial to get in beat. I own a valjoux 726 my dad gave me on my 18th birthday (a looooong time ago). I broke the ratchet wheel with an aggressive wind 4 yrs ago. I have been waiting for my skills to progress before doing a service. I am close. Your advice is well placed and I will apply it.
