Service of Illinois pocket watch.

I thought I should post some pictures of my Illinois watch that I serviced recently. I think it is beautiful and it deserves to be at our blog.

The dial is dirty and got some cracks on it. Lets put it in the ultrasonic cleaner.

The movement is in the baskets. Ready for cleaning!

The base plate of the movement.

Cleaned, assembled oiled and adjusted. The amplitude reaches 300, great! This is a beauty of a movement. Screwed gold schatons throughout the movement, solid gold wheels in the entire going train. Gold plated screws and swan neck fine adjuster.

Engraved case back .

So the dial got clean. The cracks disappeared and the violet blued steel hands are nice and clean to. Great!

Thanks for watching! Svanberg & Werner.
