I won a large box of US pocket watches balances, partsfrom EBAY. For me US pocket watches are 80% Elgin and Waltham. I received completely different parts. I hope somebody is able to inform me to which pocket watch these parts belongs. Thank you. Bulent | |||

I see that the balances are solid not spilt like most of the american balances are, probaly swiss balances,,The wheels with the heart shaped cams are probaly from a chronograph watch . Maybe someone else can give you some more info but that,s my guess. | |||

These appear to be single roller balances. Not knowing the diameter and judging from the excessive balance weighting I suggest they are for a timer or other device not used for serious timkeeping but rather bombs or stopwatches. | |||

The wheels with springs in the fourth picture are from a split seconds chronograph. Those with the big teeth are register wheels from chronographs. Gerald | ||||

The 'timing screws' are just decoration; the poising was done by drilling holes in the balance rims; all timer stuff. Gerald | ||||

Thank you very much for all valuable informations. In this case if possible I will try to use hairsprings. Bulent | ||||
