Q1: What does 4 1/4 – 22”’ mean?
A: This refers to the movement size in “lignes” (French inches), a traditional unit used in Swiss watchmaking. 4 1/4 – 22”’ indicates a specific medium-sized movement range. Verify your movement size before purchase.
Q2: What is PMMA? Is it durable?
A: PMMA is acrylic (polymethyl methacrylate), a lightweight, non-conductive synthetic material. It offers good durability for watchmaking applications but is softer than metal. Avoid dropping or applying excessive force.
Q3: Is this movement holder compatible with ETA movements?
A: Compatibility depends on the specific movement size (4 1/4 – 22”’). Many ETA movements (e.g., ETA 2671, 2681, 2789) fall within this size range. Check your movement specifications before ordering.
Q4: Why use a synthetic holder instead of a metal one?
A: Synthetic holders are non-conductive and softer than metal, reducing the risk of scratching delicate movement plates, bridges, or screws. They are ideal for assembled movement work where surface finish matters.
Q5: Can I clean the holder with alcohol?
A: Alcohol is generally safe for PMMA, but avoid acetone, benzene, or other strong solvents that can cause cracking or whitening. Mild soap and water with a soft brush is recommended.
Q6: Is this a genuine Bergeon product?
A: Yes, this is a genuine Bergeon tool, made in Switzerland, and comes brand new in original packing.
Q7: What is the advantage of the 5914-P over the metal 5914 model?
A: The 5914-P uses PMMA instead of metal, offering a non-conductive, scratch-resistant surface that is gentler on finished movements. It is often preferred for assembled movement work.
