Installing Mainspring, Waltham model 1892

In the previous video I determine why this watch doesn't run. In this video I install a new old stock mainspring. Model 1892, Appleton Tracy, 17 jewels. This video performed by an amateur. Do not attempt at home. No watches were harmed in the making of this video. For entertainment only.

Love the background of chirping crickets.

Now, would you stop by my house and re-assemble my Sunbeam automatic toaster? I have free beer, wine, coffee, etc.

I felt your pain when that arbor joined the space program!

I’m doing one now with a spring packaged like yours. I thought I could some how put it in by hand from the disk as received? No? I see you used a mainspring winder. Essentially making it a SNAP IN. Those snap ins are great.

After dropping umpteen little parts and screws and other annoying bits onto the floor (and then hunting for them with a flashlight on my hands and knees) I bought an artist's apron at Michaels and put a strip of Velcro along the bottom edge. I glued the matching Velcro piece to the bottom edge of my desktop. Now, when I sit down to do watch work, I wear the apron and attach the bottom edge Velcro to the desk Velcro. It forms a nice "pocket" the width of the desk where all the dropped pieces land instead of the floor.

Hello dear friend,

I live in France and I bought a railroad version of this model which I really like .

But the main spring is broken and my watchmaker cannot open the barrel where it is located .
( he is afraid of forcing it and breaking it )

Is there any special handling to follow for its opening?

Thank you in advance for your help and kindness 👍

One of the hammers on your chime clock (Westminster) needs adjusting. It's thudding down on the bar and dampening the sound.
