Homage Forum

Hello everyone,

I've discovered this forum, which is an extraordinary source of information.

Thank you for this discovery.

I need some information.

I hope the moderators won't mind if I've posted in the wrong section.

I inherited an Angelus Junior alarm clock from 1950 from my father.

If I share some photos with you, would you be able to tell me if it's worth making a wristwatch out of it?

Or should I keep it as is?

It would be a shame to alter something that has real historical value.

For this reason, I really need your expert opinion. What direction would you recommend, or should I make a tribute wristwatch?

Because from the research I've done, I understand that Panerai used this movement in several of its models.

How much would it cost me to make all these modifications, or would it be more worthwhile to perhaps sell it in its current condition?

it isn’t the wanted sf240.
btw are you the seller on chrono because you used his pictures

Yes, I know absolutely nothing about this.

That's why I wanted to get some information about this clock.

And I was misled by (chatgpt) the artificial intelligence which suggested it was an SF 240.

So I deleted the listing on Chrono24, since the description and specifications are incorrect.

Can you help me or give me more information about this clock? For example, what movement does it use? Is it worth anything?

However, I tested the power reserve; it easily lasts eight days, the timekeeping is very accurate, and the alarm is very loud.

Is there a tutorial that would allow me to open the back to see the movement?

Keep it as a clock ,converting it from a back key wind to a crown wind is very complicated and expensive with special skill needed 'I am sure other members with more experience will chime in . Your better off finding a movement more suitable with a crown wind that has been overhauled, it will save you money .
