Progress!
Indeed

It’s a question of time and study

Movement was frozen due to to humidity, some parts were missing...glued center seconds hand as there was no tube, missing cap jewels and one hole jewel in the balance...it left a "watchmaker" a while back.

Replaced the missing parts and made a new seconds hand tube, not the easiest thing to do from a brass pin. The tiny black spot is the new tube, I made it darker with a torch to fit the rest.

Just one of the things in my queue from last year..
