Need to find click spring for this Swiss Pocket watch

[finiteguy]

Hi everyone, I was recently trying to restore this Swiss Pocket Watch movement. Tried to reposition the click spring, and it flew off, never to be found again. Believe me, I looked everywhere. Anyway, how would I identify the size of the spring? I don't want to randomly buy click springs hoping I get one that fits. See attached watch. It runs great if I wind it and manually engage the ratchet, but not the way it is suppose to run. Also, I can't seem to find any movements associated with the engraved name on the movement.

You might do better getting some fine music wire and making one.

I can't seem to find any movements associated with the engraved name on the movement.

It would help to see a clear close-up of the word you mention. Your photo is not very sharp, but it seems to me that the word may be 'Palma'. If so, there are a number of watch manufacturers who used this trade mark.

Maybe you could show a clearer photo?

"Salvia"?

Hi LLoyd,

"Salvia"?

Yes, it does look more like that plant name.

"Salvia"?

Well, maybe, but it doen't look like an 'S' to me, but unless we can get a clear photo, I suppose we shall have to keep guessing.

Apart from a better photo of this side, could you force yourself to turn the movement over and show the other side?
