Thanks for a great video. My mother gave me one of these clocks just before she passed away. I've got the Holivar book and I'm keen to get the clock working. Your video will make a great reference.
0:21:30 when moving the pallet, try doing so gently, with a toothpick, maybe. You should be able to see it snap into place in each direction. This gives a visual indication that power from the spring is going to be transferred into the pendulum to keep it going.
What has worked for me is I will move the anchor pin to see if the pallet causes the escape wheel to move properly so the hands move. Once I have taken everything apart, cleaned, oiled and reassembled, it’s just a matter of making sure the suspension spring is in good condition and putting the clock in to beat.
0:18:20 Did you tighten the click screw? Otherwise, the click is likely to slip off again, probably some time while it is being wound, and the person winding it will have a very bad day.
the clock doesn't work because the pendulum doesn't make a turn of 270 degrees but it does more than that or I have the same miniature rotating pendulum clock Best regards RD
Are you talking about a clock of yours? There is no standard as to how far the pendulum rotates, some are greater than 360 degrees, some could be as little as 180 degrees.
Wonderful video - I always look forward to you posting a new vid. Was the original reason that the click was not engaging the ratchet wheel because the screw in the click had loosened up ?
I apologize if I couldn't respond sooner. in the video when you frame the oscillating suspension you can see when it turns to the right the click is much faster than when it oscillates to the left which is why I said that the watch wasn't working best regards RD

Yes, that is correct, I forgot to mention that once I had it apart I tightened it.
