Got given a pocket watch to see if I could fix it well not really my area of tinkering so took a look...
Looks to be an ELSINORE pin & barrel movement Swiss and if I called it right from 1915 so ww1 era.. So took the strain off the main spring it was tight but not forced as it gave me enough turn to catch the ratchet and pin it and let it slow spin unwind. So powers off the main spring but does not want to start to tick also notice the crown maybe wrong as can't seem to pull it out to change the time...
Was there a special way to do this on this movement ?
What info do we have on this think it might be imported by George Stockwell of Finsbury street London around 1914/1915 the case is sterling silver and hallmarked but the second hand is missing and the hour hand is bent
Yes any info would be good
As always Ismy
