This 16 size,
grade 374,
Father Time movement came in reported to have a non-functioning
up/down indicator. When I removed the barrel bridge it was immediately obvious why. In this first image, the cut-out to one side of the barrel should hold a complicated little stack of gears that transfers motion from the barrel edge down to a thin, flat gear under the barrel. The gears are completely missing.
The thin flat gear is also not present.
This post about a similar Veritas movement shows some of the missing parts.
It's odd that the entire works of this complication would be missing. The hour wheel-like indicator gear, the wheel that drives it, and original hand itself are present on the dial side. The movement is otherwise in good condition, although showing some wear.
The album for this project is here:
