The safety pinion let loose of the gear. There is the pinion shaft, the wheel, the gear and a tiny washer. How tight should I put the gear on the wheel and where does the washer go? Between the bottom of the gear and the jewel or between the gear and the wheel?  | ||

The safety pinion is one of the most elegant inventions ever. A mainspring letting go at full wind can cause horrendous damage to any watch no so equipped. ...and zero damage to one that is! William | |||
