Very nice early design work. Note the fancy work on the repeater barrel.
Time and repeater train. Note the fusee before I added the chain.
Repeater mainspring barrel and escape wheel. Fancy steel work, which tells us this is a very early watch.
Repeater hammers.
One repair needed was a pivot on the contrate wheel. Before and after I repivoted it. With the advent of small carbide drills repivoting can now be done with out heating the pinion. A much better way.
Finally we have the watch number 874 on the inside case back, on the movement, under the bell, and on the mainspring cap. All said and done this restoration on a watch made by the man that invented repeating watches was very interesting, and I thought I would share this fine watch with you. Chances are you will never again see the "inside out" of a Quare watch.
