My Friend who is selling his dad's watch stuff gave me a couple watches his dad had tagged as "working" to fiddle with. This "Fleury" is the first Swiss "Bar" movment I have ever cleaned.
While it is "fragile" (by late 19th Century USA Watchmaker's standards) movement, it cleaned up (a real task!

) very nicely and runs "like a champ". So far a good timekeeper. The pictures were taken before I put in a new crystal and second hand, but they tell the story OK. An interesting note, each one of wheel train bars is double pinned to the main plate and each plate screw has a head diameter peculiar to that bar. So I played "musical chairs" fitting all the bars and screws together.
