I believe that many of these movements still are superior to any Swiss made movements.unreformed66 wrote: ↑November 30th, 2019, 7:34 pmIt is far more common in American movements although you see it in high grade Swiss and quite a few English movements. It's a higher quality way of setting jewels. Part function, part decoration. There were no higher grade movements ever made than most American railroad grade pocket watch movements. They were ALL chronometers, gold jewel settings, gold balance screws, many were highly decorated even in places that nobody but the watchmaker would ever see. Some were 2-tone. Some had snailing, some had damaskening, some had both.mykeos wrote: ↑November 30th, 2019, 3:22 pmunreformed66 wrote: ↑November 30th, 2019, 2:17 pm
The jewels are in settings instead of being friction set into the plate. The setting are gold in this case. The screws hold the jewel and setting in the plate.
Thank you.Am I wrong or is this more common in American made movements,like Hamilton?Wonder why,if this is indeed the case...
