The complete series of Hamilton movements, Keystone, Angelus, Cortebert, Venus, Valjoux....

Hey Yoda, maybe we ought to have a watchmaker's duel and see who has the most different movements. Of course if you're anything like me we wouldn't get anything done other than post pictures for the next few months...

One thing that we don't have in common, is that I made a fusee wall clock movement 2011 from scratch and you didn't. No complications, only hour and minute, everything else would be suicide when you build a movement for the first time.
It is just a statement, I am not going to war against you.
Even worse, I left it in my shop at the summer house and brass and humidity is a bad combination.
Plans, yes! Time, no!
There was a time when I was all over the place when it came to watches, I seemed to have a lot of time as well, but I have changed and I cannot put my finger on the reason why.

Well I'd certainly like to see some pictures of your clock! I've never been that ambitious myself. Not to mention I don't have access to gear cutting engines and etc. and sure won't spent the thousands of dollars that they would cost for no more use than I could get out of them. As for having enough time it seems that I have less and less of it as I get older too. One kid still at home, Grandkids to play with on the weekends, my "real" job and my watch work keep me hopping pretty much all the time. The good thing is that I should get to retire in another 3 years so maybe I'll have time to do more then. Or not. Only time will tell....

@unreformed66, @Yoda, @griffon22
Gentlemen, thank you all for the pictures and observations. It’s a pleasure getting to see it all. What incredible movements!
