Cortebert Vintage hands set - our next project


t

Recommended Posts

I've just checked two Cortebert 616's, and both have hands that measure 110 and 185 (actually, they are more like 112 and 187, but the size variance will be from installing / removing the hands!). Can anybody confirm?

strange

i check 2 corteberts and the cannion pin (for minute hand) is 115 and the hour wheel (for hour hand) measure 195-200????

could anybody check their cortebert for be sure???

Just checked another 2 (616 and 620), both of which are 110 and 185 (actually, 109 and 183 for the canon pinion / hour wheel and 112 / 187 for the hands!). Anybody else?

And the measures take from center of hole to end:

Minute 18,54mm

Hour 14,07mm

For the dial i have who is less than 37mm, the minute hand is a little bit too long, the correct lenght will around 17mm , but the hour lenght is probably correct, very long.

You can compare it put on my dial and on the pic , the lenght is the same.

but the question is to know if my dial have the correct size, it is a DSN modded, with diameter reduce of less than 37mm; case is a modded silix one.

And a pic to compare with gen angelus and with some others reps style.
