Assembling, and completed !

This watch-making project will be finished at last. All parts has been produced.
FHF98 hand-winding movement is overhauled.


Assemble jumping-hour module parts.



Attentively adjust tension of jumper springs. In too weak or too strong, it does not work correctly.



Inner holder with movement is fixed with two screws.



Two clear plate (only 0.5mm thick acrylic plate) are screwed to the inner holder.


They don't disappear pretty perlage pattern.



Only the side of the lug is made with mat finish and the other surface is hairlined. They will be fixed to the main case with M1.6 micro screws (their head is cut and chamfered).



All parts are assembled !

Case parts making Pt.8 / Perlage

Perlage is one of the most popular decoration for watch movement. It is a very simple circular pattern by grinding. I applied it on the brass inner holder and on visible part of the base plate of movement.

Case parts making Pt.7 / Crown

The time of making crown parts has come at last. Already outer shape has been prepared on the lathe.


This crown has nine grooves. When I produced a trial model, I cut them with a starting drill. However, I use a Φ1.6mm ultra-hard rotary bar this time.


This tool is very useful. It facilitates cutting with small resistance.



To a lathe again. Chamfered and hiarlined.


These two parts will be combined later.
