This is another one of my friend Mick’s watches. Very early 20th century, and a central second pocket watch! It’s a keyless movement, and it even has a hacking second. 7 jewels will do the trick, as that covers the most important places where you want to see one. It’s ticking, but barely, and it is in bad need of a service. Too much oil, and a very poor amplitude. There are also fingerprints on the plate, and they need removing, as they will become permanent if left on their own.
When it comes to brass and watches, there is one rule: don’t touch! Nice looking bottom plate.
No wire springs, nicely made movement. The hairspring is in good shape – the only problem is dirt and lubrication. Coming out of the watch cleaning machine, all looks nice and shiny. Time for reassembly. I’m using latex finger gloves to protect the brass. One touch with your bare hands, and you have a fingerprint.
Just at 6 o’clock on top of my thumb, the little wire that goes around the balance wheel to stop the balance for the hacking second feature. And ticking The bottom plate looks beautiful, too. Nice enameled dial, too.
The movement goes back into the case. The minute hand is a bit too loose, so I tighten it with the staking set. Lovely watch, definitely not your run-of-the-mill granddad pocket watch. This is meant to be a precision instrument, and it has the looks of it. This entry was posted in,,.
Bookmark the. Lovely watch & very interesting to see the stages/process of stripping, cleaning and reassembling. I have a very similar watch to this one that I inherited. Any idea on value? It winds and sets well, strong action & keeps excellent time.
Issue is that the start/stop function doesn’t seem to work. Is this a big job to correct?

Hello, I've been left this lovely watch and I'd just like some back ground on it. I think its gold, its all hallmarked, even every link in the chain.
It opens sideways and the back has on outer cover and an inner cover to get to the workings which are very pretty. I'm not sure if its age, or they were ment to be like that but the hands have a metallic blue tint to them. The biggest visible cog in the back has a clouds/weather type picture engraved on it. I've put some pictures on public view on Fliker since I dont know how to put them on this post. You can see the pictures of the watch here: I'm really just curious about it, is it common?
When was it made? What type of gentleman owned one? Whats the picture of the weather on the big cog about? How much was it to buy when it was made and do i need to alter my home inurance now?
Anything really. Thanks in advance for your help. That's a nice set up.
Thos Russell produced good quality watches which are popular with collectors. It has a Swiss movement and is called a Hunter watch as the front flips open to reveal the dial - which seems to be in good condition without any hairline cracks. From your pics, it seems that the crystal (glass) is missing. For further information, we really need to see more pics, particularly the markings on the inside of the dust cover.

Is it plain on the front and back or does it have any engravings or a monogram?
