Restoration of a limited edition (500) Prestons Waltham Junior (1918) - 16s 15j Model 1899 Grade 621

Macro Time 2022-01-14 | Service of Prestons Waltham Junior pocket watch, size 16, 15j, hunter case, model 1899, grade 621, Breguet overcoil and the run quantity was 500.
This Waltham pocket watch was produced in around 1918 for Prestons of Bolton, a jeweller store in the North West England.
A new old stock mainspring for Waltham 2227 was fine, however after 24 hours of running the timing was going downhill and when I disassembled the barrel the 2227 mainspring was set.
A new GR6978TR mainspring had to be modified to fit the Waltham barrel. The lid (called the main wheel) is separated from the barrel (called the lower portion or shell) and the main wheel is staked to the arbour hook.
The mainspring modification is required, otherwise when the barrel is near full wind, the hole end would release from the barrel hook.
As always, majority of the work is recorded under a macro lens.

Cannon Pinion Remover (Bergeon 4854 & Bergeon 30637-2)

Macro Time 2021-09-19 | In this video I will show you in detail the Bergeon 4854 & Bergeon 30637-2 cannon pinion removers.
I will disassemble the Bergeon 4854 cannon pinion remover, show you the individual parts and then assemble the tool.
The Bergeon 30637-2 cannot be disassembled but I will show you the tool in detail.
Then I will remove a cannon pinion that’s 1.35mm in diameter using both tools and I will also remove cannon pinion that’s 0.97mm in diameter.
At the end I’ll share my opinion about these two tools and tell you which one of them is the more practical tool for watchmakers if they only want one tool.
