GOLIATH Sized Devastation: Quarter Repeater with NO Spare Parts

Video Description

This Mappin & Webb goliath quarter repeater was non-functional in every way - it could not wind, could not set the time, could not run and could not repeat the time. There were several broken and missing parts, none of which I could buy replacements for (including a wheel with missing teeth!). I didn't know it when starting out, but this eventually became THE most complex and challenging restoration I’ve completed to date. #restoration #watchrepair #pocketwatch #repeaters Contact info: [email protected] Many of my tools I use are affordable.
