Assembly of a 110 years old IWC cal. 52 😲

Hi,
I would like to share the process of the assembly of a 100 years old pocket watch movement. It was made by IWC in the 1914s and runs after a service like a new one.

Nicely done 👍 Could you maybe explain what the Geneva drive ontop of the mainspring barrel does? Or what it is called?🤔🤔

Certainly! Here’s a short summary of the Geneva drive's function inside a watch: The Geneva drive inside a watch primarily serves two functions: Prevent Over-Winding: It limits the number of rotations of the mainspring barrel, protecting the mainspring and winding mechanism from damage. Controlled Energy Release: It ensures a consistent and regulated release of energy from the mainspring, crucial for maintaining accurate timekeeping. Overall, the Geneva drive enhances the durability, accuracy, and usability of mechanical watches
