I have a couple of Zenith alarm Pocket watches (single winding stem for two barrels). I had to take one apart as I am sending it out for a new balance staff. While shaking out the gears I could see how the tandem wind worked and I could see how the timing would work to release the striker. I still don't have an understanding of the whole watch. I am hoping that there has been an article that discusses restoration or at minimum a diagram of the parts with a discussion about their respective roles.

While I have an extensive library I don't have anything on these watches beyond the history.

Any help would be appreciated.

Someone here must know something about these alarm pocket watches. Anyone have an idea who had the original patent so I can search the patent data?
Please help me as you can...spreading this request to someone who doesn't use this forum would be so helpful. I would do the same for others.

Try posting to the books forum, there may be someone that has dealt with a book that discusses it.
