Today's story is a perfect example of when experience from our Swiss trained master watchmakers comes to play. One of our clients came to our showroom with a Philip Watch Company Power reserve watch with a ETA 2892 movement. Have you heard of this watch? not many have and even less worked on them. As you can see from the pictures below, the watch not only needed regular maintenance but the pinion for the power reserve was broken causing the power reserve indicator hand to be completely loose from the movement. What made this even more complex was the limited availability of parts for this movement. Imagine, for a watch this uncommon, parts are just as uncommon, but that didn’t stop our master watchmaker to work their magic on it. Other known brands that use this movement ETA 2897 are Bell & Ross, Mido, Hamilton and Tissot, just to name a few.
After completely disassembling the movement, the master watchmaker exposes the problem as you can see on the pictures. After all parts of the ETA 2892 are taken apart, they are all placed in a specially designed mesh basket that fits our ultrasonic Tempo Machine. Powerful vibrations together with special cleaning fluids remove any old contaminants that the movement holds in order to be newly lubricated so that the movement can perform precise. Applying this lubricants and assembling the movement requires years of experience, our in-house master watchmakers and polishers have over 150 years of combined experience. While this cleaning process is being done, the master watchmaker hand-makes the broken part for this movement.
Using machines like a lathe, he is able to manufacture this detailed and small parts for watches. In this case, the broken power reserve pinion that holds the hand in place. Once the new part is in place, the watchmaker finishes assembling the movement any installing it back into its case. With the use of timing computers and specially designed tool, the movement is regulated for time keeping to manufacturer standards.
Furthermore, by installing a serious of different size gaskets in the crown and threaded tube, the crystal and back-case we are able to waterproof this watch up to 3 atmospheres. This ETA movement is designed with 27 jewels and is capable to holding a 50 hour power reserve on a full wind. It displayed, hours, minutes and sweep second. It has a quick set date mechanism, a power reserve display and a bidirectional self-winding automatic system. Before, when the watch was brought to Gray and Sons, the client was unable to enjoy any of this features but now the owner has a fully functioning watch.
