This guide is packed with over 65 pictures and supporting text that show you step-by-step how to disassemble, clean, repair, reassemble, and lubricate an ancient key wind and set, chain-driven watch that is typical of many other verge fusee watches from two hundred plus years ago.

The clues in the watch case are used to determine when the watch was made, what the case is made of, and where the watch most likely originated. Other topics include, how to let the power down so the watch can be safely disassembled; how to remove the tapered pins that hold the plates together; useful information is given about servicing the fusee, it's ratchet mechanism, and the miniature chain that couples the fusee to the mainspring barrel; the step-by-step, what goes where, reassembly of the gearing, the plates, the balance and hairspring assembly; making sure the watch is in beat; winding the fusee chain onto the barrel, and setting the mainspring preset power; assembling the motion work under the dial; making replacement tapered pins, and determining the best direction to insert the tapered pin holding the movement in the case.

This guide should help you to enjoy these fascinating miniature mechanical marvels from long ago.

Amazing fit, great quality material
Size: 30W x 32L, Color: Medium Grey, Size: 30W x 32L, Color: Medium Grey
I ordered this pair of denim pants in my usual size (30x32) and they fit amazingly. The cut is slim, but not overly tight. The material is the perfect thickness and seems to be of excellent quality, with a slight stretchiness to it. They are slightly softer than most denim pants I have worn. I am finding that they are great for both business casual settings with a button-up shirt and more informal "dress down" type situations with a t-shirt and sneakers. This is probably my favorite pair of jeans that I have gotten in at least a few years, and I would highly recommend overall.

Soft, comfortable fitting jeans
Size: 30W x 30L, Color: Black Rinse
Good quality and a great slim fit, but a bit expensive for a blend. Since they aren’t 100% cotton, they have a slight stretch that makes them more comfortable and softer than standard jeans. I’m happy with the look and feel, but I’ll have to see how they hold up over time.

Very nice and would highly recommend!
Size: 32W x 30L, Color: Medium Grey
The fit is exactly what I was looking for, slim without being too tight, and it fits true to size, so I get that modern look but still feel comfortable sitting or walking around all day. The denim feels soft yet sturdy, which makes me confident it’ll hold up well over time. I also love the classic 5-pocket design. It’s functional and keeps my essentials handy without adding bulk. The color holds up after a few washes, and there’s minimal fading so far, which is a big plus for me. Pairing these pants with a casual tee or a button-down is effortless, they easily transition from work to weekend vibes. For the price and quality, I feel like these are a solid addition to my wardrobe. Definitely recommend if you’re looking for a slim, comfortable, and versatile pair of jeans.

Nice jeans. THe fit is great, the material is kind of stretchy, and the black color is true black not a faded look. Hard for me to find a good pair of jeans but these I love.
