This was messed up by a previous student no way that would work. Some screws are missing, springs are damaged.
But... It's Cartier, thank god for that. Oh wait, we don't have spare parts. Rip dream. |

Put all pieces in a plastic glass and pour salted water in. Wait few hours and extend the pieces again without drying them, take a look next week and.....
Now you know what to do!!! Hahaha. Cheers Bas!!! "If you're not having fun you're doing something wrong". Groucho Marx. |

This one from earlier this week was pretty cool. A battery powered movement (pre-quartz), the battery powers the coil, the coil then generates a magnetic field which makes the balance wheel run. The balance has two small magnets.

I wish I could clearly see all those little parts even though I would still be lost. Cool stuff Bas! You will be an amazing watch maker.

It seems I always have a bag of parts like that after attempting an IKEA build.

That does not look like fun.
I'm stressed from the pictures.

If all else fails I always recommend using duct tape or super glue. But then again I grew up watching Emmet on the Andy Griffith show and he always used a hammer when all else failed.

I've had moments where a hammer would have been a satisfying tool to use. There are movements that want to annoy you, everything that can go wrong will go wrong with those.

Just wondering, is a kind of exercise? I mean, start a new service without any information or your colleague just leave it?
BTW, who is the manufacturer? Edit: Cartier, sorry! "If you're not having fun you're doing something wrong". Groucho Marx. |
