Finepics Posted August 4, 2006 Report Share Posted August 4, 2006 Radical project! I can not wait to see the results. Just one comment about the movement, I do'nt see any (small) seconds on the original clock... There are many variants of the Angelus 240 and one of them comes exactly as the version that Panerai uses. The plate over the bridge plates which has the three holes in the center is just for securing the movt cover. here is a page from an Angelus catalogue which clearly shows the different versions. Be aware that some of the desk clocks with the barometer (I just bought one) are not the same movt at all - this is a potential minefield!!! To make a running seconds the second wheel is removed then simply drilled and fitted with a post for a second hand (obviously not as simple as it sounds but is not difficult for a watchsmith).

Cucumber_Jones Posted August 5, 2006 Report Share Posted August 5, 2006 floris this is not the kinna thing that will have updates this fast.

docblackrock Posted August 14, 2006 Report Share Posted August 14, 2006 (edited) I looks like it is... There's the balance visible through the window that looks the same and a gold trimmed jewel... It actually has 7days and 20 minutes of reserves - awesome... Cool. Mine had 7 days 6 hours power reserve. Bought for such a project but had to be sacrificed to yet another project - still I got a very good price for it Edited August 14, 2006 by docblackrock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck converting it - it will take a ton of work. It is good for parts though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is good for parts though. Thanks for the 'advice' CJ, but my watchmaker was initially up for the work before he took ill again. As for being 'useless' or only 'good for parts', actually it was better at generating almost a grand of your Canadian funny money Edited August 15, 2006 by docblackrock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
