Hello good folks of WRT!

I am a new member here and wanted to introduce myself to the community.

I am a brand trained and certified watchmaker. I graduated from LWT in 2012 and have been working as a watchmaker for 6 years now. I predominantly work on big production brands (Rolex, Omega, Breitling, etc.) but my driving passion is in vintage pieces (wrist-watches of the 50's-70's, pocket-watches from 1880's-1940's). 

I am excited to learn and share with the community members!

Hi Macombering, welcome here. Nice to have you aboard. Although many years ago I did receive some part time in depth training from a Geneva trained watchmaker now departed, I call myself a watch Jobber Fixer.  Retired from Electronic`s now I may need your help. Apart from some quartz, the watches I mainly get have been in Dad`s drawer for 30 years !!.  Usually quality watches or they were at one time. Fixed a Westminster Chime clock today, the first clock ever. Thanks for your low down and all good wishes to you. Best regards, Mike.

      Help with Hermle ships clock

      By watchweasol · Posted

      Hi Mike I did a ships clock a long while ago, not a Hermle though and without getting the beast in my hands to refresh my memory I can’t recall the timing.  This doesn’t help I know but will start the grey matter turning.

      Help with Hermle ships clock

      By Rixy · Posted

      I have stripped and cleaned a Hermle ships clock. It was just oily, no major faults, and I reassembled it, following my photos in reverse order. The time train is fine but the strike train will not play the ships bell strike for half-past. Ships bells play a four hour sequence for the 'watches' and play double 'ding' for the hour and the double dings plus one for the half past (eg half past the second hour is 'ding-ding' 'ding-ding' 'ding'). Sounds complicated but it isn't really. The strike wheel consists of pairs of bumps (for the ding-ding) and no single bumps. There must me some mechanism on the half-past that lifts the strike lever over one of the bumps so only one ding is played. When I get to a half past, it still plays double ding. I have a feeling it is to do with the lever in front of the rack (there is a sprung attachment  on it) and the position of the wheel (to the right) with the two pins that lets that lever fall, but no matter where I place that wheel I cannot get a single ding at half past! Please can someone help with advice on positioning so I can fix this? BTW Happy Easter 🐣
