Dial making Pt.12 / Jumping hour module 5

JUMPER. -A spring so shaped that it causes a piece to jump or move suddenly.
Donald de Carle,  WATCH AND CLOCK ENCYCLOPEDIA 


At first, I cut it off in rough shape from 0.8mm thick steel plate. Then I filed it again and again in actual matching to develop the details of its shape. 




After shaping to a certain degree, it was hardened and tempered. If this process was left out, this spring parts could not get elasticity.


Furthermore fixing the details, and I beveled and polished it.
 

Thus handmade 'JUMPER' was admitted into the parts of the module.
