FxrAndy Posted January 15, 2012 Report Share Posted January 15, 2012 More than likely the canonpin slipping, when you go to the hend set position does it feel very easy to set the time ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FxrAndy Posted January 15, 2012 Report Share Posted January 15, 2012 Then i would say the cluch is slipping, cant remember how it looks on a 1570 or whether it can be fixed by cleaning but normaly so. way to tell is the 1570 is a direct drive seconds, the drive for the seconds comes direct from the 3rd wheel in the movement, the hours and min run via a clutch mech that alow you to set the time, if the clutch is stlipping then there is no drive to the hands except the seconds (which does not run via the clutch), the very easy time setting is like putting a car in gear and being able to push it down the street with out the engine turning over.

RWG Technical Posted January 15, 2012 Report Share Posted January 15, 2012 As Andy identified, cannon is slipping. That indication is a sure sign of a movement that's been neglected and not serviced or oiled regularly. The movement needs a complete overhaul and correct lubrication as well as tightening of the cannon pin. If you aren't sure how to do it, send it to someone who's competent, these aren't the most forgiving movements to work on, and spares' are expensive and hard to find... if you have to ask, your in over your head...
