astonjenks Posted December 5, 2013 Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 I have just received the following photos of Version 2 of the watch case being made for my 1/4 Repeating pocket watch movement that I first shared here a month or so ago. Since buying the movement it has been serviced and my expert pocket watchsmith has confirmed that the movement was made by none other than Jaeger Le Coutre by virtue of several 'tells'. That is very exciting as although I paid just under $1k, I would have been charged more I suspect if the seller had known its likely origin! Anyway, we are getting very close to finishing this beautiful and very rare timepiece, once finished I will share photos.

PeteM Posted December 5, 2013 Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 Looks all very promising mate.... With a nicely spaced CB you will get a lovely sound from it.... Look forward to seeing it all completed and on the wrist... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fraggle42 Posted December 5, 2013 Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 Looks great! In the top pic, the leftmost silver gear, is it missing two teeth? And is it supposed to be missing two teeth? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So all AJ wants for Christmas is his 2 front teeth.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astonjenks Posted December 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 Richard I am unsure what that particular gear does! However when the watch smith fully serviced and checked the watch everything worked perfectly so I guess it doesn't need them.
