    Haha, I've been putting my watchmaker through the same. The central disk isnt functioning properly. It's giving him fits.

    Yea I went through having to bring it back because the disk wasn't at 0 when fully wound down. The other one I have had a misaligned gear on that wheel causing it to slip. All fixed now.

    But that is probably due to the main spring not being strong enough anymore.

    All fixed now. Adjusted free of charge. He didn't mention anything about replacing anything. So, who knows, watchmaker stuff. :)

    Aahhh. Let’s see if we can gather some details.

    Well, as far as the movement calibre 294, it’s in the 290 family-

    Edit:

    :
    * all were produced with direct center sweep seconds - the 3rd wheel drives the cannon pinion
    - 290 - 24 jewels
    - 291 - 24 jewels / date @ 3:00 or 12:00
    - 292/3/4 - 24 jewels / date @ 12:00 + power reserve indicator in the center of the dial driven by the hour wheel

    19,800 bph / 45 - 48 hour power reserve
    26.0 mm diameter x 6.0 mm height

    balance wheel:
    ring with weighted screws on perimeter
    10.5 mm diameter
