This is one of the pocket watches i inherited from my father about 13 years ago.
He inherited it from his parents, but it is not known exactly who used it from the beginning.

It is fully wound, but not running.
The balance is not broken, so hopefully this only needs a good clean and lubrication to get running again.

Before i took it apart i released the tension of the spring, so it wouldn’t “explode”. 🙂

This is my first attempt in clock repair, and i hope to get it running again. 🙂
(A pocket watch is a good start, because the mechanism is quite large compared with wrist watches.)

I don’t have any fancy small jars to securely store the parts for protection during the process, but i used what i had and are being careful. 🙂

Now i have to investigate what type of oils i need, and what oil goes where before i can proceed.
Patience is the keyword here. 🙂
