today I wanted to put everything together but the problem is, How to set the time of that watch? if I press the buttom from the glas, it will be firing in the minute hand but I can’t set the time because the wheels are staying connected and the anchore with the excape wheel will block it and there isn’t something to free the wheels. any Ideas?

What a beautiful car and beautiful clock.

Alas I can't help, but you could connect it to the car at one minute to one. ;)

it belongs to a fiend of my.

the problem is solved with the help of another forum. the minute pinion wheel was tight after I put it in some
cleaning oil it came loose again. now I have to put everything together again and the time should set again.

@tafari , did you buy a new toy (car) or are you helping someone restore his car?

[mention]Tanukjaju [/mention], The car is for a friend of my, the watch was missing and he found one for a good price but not working. so he gave it to me to make it working again. I’m sure when I’m now finished it will work perfect again.
