If you look at a Swiss package of a watch parts about the size of a postage stamp. I did this as I thought it was interfering with the chime.įor info, the clock arrived to me in bits, I've cleaned it and attempted to put it back together. At no point does this pin now come into contact with the lever. I've left the screw used to adjust the lever undone so it the lever flops down (circled below). I thought this pin and lever was purely to turn the chime (+strike) on and off. Orologi67, you mention the pin on the 3rd wheel and a lever. Normally this is at approx 10min into the quarter. ![]() However, if left to run normally it'll put in some extra chimes as the lever touching the '4 lobed cam' starts to rise. Putting back the minute hand and cycling through each quarter fairly quickly causes the clock to chime as expected. (I've marked the highest lobe with marker pen for my reference) And also isolated the strike side as pictured. I have removed the 'hour hand cam' to show '4 lobed cam' as pictured. And also its best to try to reassemble quickly as possible such tbat you dont forget the various quirks. With clocks i will also investigate the way the gears interact with levers etc before i disassemble. If i get in a clock (or watch) that ive never encountered i take a bunch of cell phone pics. And the warning pin is set in a range between 90 to 180 degrees away from the warning lever. ![]() Strike side synching requires that the strike stop almost immediately after the strike hammer arbor's prong falls off the strike wheel. ![]() Keep a light touch on the fly so the gears move slowly and watch. Watching how the pins interact with the stop levers. ![]() Just keep analyzing it by slowly turning the hands to activate the chime. The beauty of most chime side trains is one doesnt have to worry too much about synching the chime train during reassembly becuse you can adjust it when attaching the chime count wheel. When reassembling a westminster i usually set both chime and strike warning pins 90 degrees away from their warning levers. When the lever comes to an indentation in the countwheel it will lower just enuf such that the thrid wheel pin will hit the lever and stop the chime. This pin will come in contact with a prong projecting from a lever (either outside or inside the movement) that also runs along the edge of the chime cam or chime countwheel. From your picture of the front plate i believe you have the below description.

There are two main ways a chime side mechanism stops.
