Today I start a very unusual and interesting project as I
take on what could turn out to be an impossible task of restoring an antique
Waterbury co, USA pocket watch with the movement that has a duplex escapement!

This type of escapement is the first time I have come across
it, so if I can with a lot of work get this rusted and broken movement back
working, it will add another interesting pocket watch to my collection.

Stripped down the movement with care to as far as I could, now
left parts soaking in rust remover overnight.

I still have to figure out how to remove the “hour wheel”
from the dial!
Hi I know this is quite an old post but hope you may be able to help. I am currently restoring a similar Waterbury and need to obtain a new hairspring. I wonder if you know the length, or what you used as a replacement. Many thanks.
