Roller jewel

On today's episode of "tiny things I work with", place itty bitty purple jewel into itty bitty jewel hole.

On the far right is a dime I put there for perspective.

Finished Reassembly

This was the last pivot that I needed to oil on this movement.

It feels good when you've put everything back together and it all functions.

Whoops

Timing

Learning to read the timing machine.

Been a while.

Here are some things I've done in the last month.

This is where I was learning to dip oil pivots and clean the movement.

First Watch

Now that we're done with tool making and jeweling we move onto my first watch.

Disassembly, parts cleaning, oiling and reassembly.

Jewel Plate

Jewel plate completed and lacquered. Onward!

Jeweling

I placed the jewel on the right crooked and had to reset it. Its super easy to miss the mark with these.

Jeweling

Learning how to properly place jewel bearings.
