Smiths Pocket Watches

The following are two British made Smiths pocket watches. I'd guess they were made in the 1960s.

The spring in the silver watch is broken, so I've spent this evening trying to buy a similar non-working watch on eBay for spare parts... unfortunately with no luck, yet...


Two Smiths pocket watches, and an English penny to show the size of the watches.

Broken watch spring :(

Hi.
I am a teacher at the Epping Forest Horology club and I wanted to let you know that a mainspring for this watch can be obtained from a company called Cousins.

Hope this helps and good luck with the repair.

Daniel.

Hi Daniel,

Thanks for the advice! The watch is now running again - a little fast, but I think I can sort that out.
