Tourbillon1 presents a captivating weekend riddle, challenging forum members to identify a missing component from a disassembled watch movement. This interactive post not only engages the community but also offers a unique opportunity to win tickets to Salon QP.

Dear Forum-members
Austria's got a long weekend due to tomorrow's national holiday.
Time for us to prepare the material for the upcoming shows in Munich, Vienna and London. 




No, this is not the new "do-it-yourself-Felix"! It's a riddle. Find the missing part. One hint: It's neither the strap, the buckle or the springbars.
The first ten with the right answer winning tickets for upcoming Salon QP nov. 12th to 14th.
Good luck!
Maria & Richard

...hairspring??? Not sure if I see one... Correction: I think one of the items that looks like a wheel next to the balance wheel, this might be the hairspring. If so, the missing item is the wheel that is driven by the hammer. Is it? BR Kolosstt

Maybe its there by the dial. I thought it was the bezel. This message has been edited by aditya on 2015-10-26 03:14:49

...as noted elsewhere, I think it's the bezel as Felix has two, one for the top crystal, one for the "exhibition" case back... ...that's all I got :p
