I'm currently wearing my 1883 Illinois Key wond/Key set.
Hey Fran just picked up a westclox pocket ben.Ibelive from the 1970s and may have over wond,played with the largest cog and got it to start ticking.used your vid to get it right and know working great thans a bunch Ray
Love old pocket watches, especially American made from mid 1800's to 1930. I have quite a collection myself. 😊
Get to the point
I recently purchased a 1904 NY Standard pocket watch as my first pocket watch, and I am in love with it. It is relatively accurate, but it does turn out about two minutes slow over the course of an hour, and I was wondering how I might be able to fix that. Wonderful video! Thanks!
Well how many attempts at regulating did it take and what accuracy did you achieve?
And
That small pocket watch you don’t prefer probably fits perfectly in that jeans watch pocket you don’t use.
Enjoyed the vid. I just caught the watch collecting “bug”. Is there an antidote to this addiction?
Hi Fran, Is it possible to contact You for Your advise? I have a nice pocket watch that ticks and keeps time well, but the seconds hand does not move. Any advise?
You make an adjustment and then see how it runs for a couple of days. WHAT! You mean you don't have a time grapher in the lab?
Funny shirt, cute girl, nice watches. What's better?
Very good and informative. Thank you 😊
I know this is a super old video…But Damn Fran is there anything you can't do?
Thank you!
Love pocket watches. Just started working on them. Amazing engineering.
