RG thanks for your answer. hmm. how can something happen ? i didn´t move the watch. it just turned from one second to the other ? too much oil ? dirt ? i take it to my favorite watchmaker...

RWG Technical Posted February 21, 2007 Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 Could be as simple as a small drop of oil on the hairspring, and somehow it caused two coils to stick to each other... Tell your watchmaker exactly what took place, he should be able to assess, and fix it while it's in the case, no reason to take anyting apart except for maybe removing the balance [censored] for cleaning of the hairspring.

The Technician Posted February 21, 2007 Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 +1 to what The Zigmeister said, but it also could be magnetized. If that's the case it will take your watchmaker 3 minutes. 30 seconds on the demagnetizer, and a quick check on the timing machine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackseal Posted February 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2007 the problem is solved... it has been a drop too much of oil. it came from somewhere and took a rest on the hairspring. ;-) one could see without a glass that the spring didn´t work the way it should. thanks for your posts. ...less is often more.
