Pocketwatch Second
Posted in Watches on 09/13/2009 04:46 am by adminmy pocketwatch gains an 24 mins a day what is wrong with it?
it works fine but gains a second a minute here is a picture of it in case anyone out there can spot an obvious reason why it gains so much time

From my limited idea, I answer thus.
Mechanical watches have a sliding index (pointer with - and + signs) that can be slid either way to change the tick-periods. This is a somewhat tricky job and perhaps best done by a professional.
good luck,
