🔧 What it does & how to use

These are specialist watchmaker's tweezers designed for cutting and trimming hairsprings during regulation and repair work. The tips have a flush cutting face rather than a pointed grip, letting you shear excess coil cleanly at the very edge without crushing or distorting the fine spring wire. Suited to hobbyist and professional watchmakers alike who need to adjust a hairspring's effective length for accurate timekeeping.

• Secure the movement: hold the balance and hairspring steady in a movement holder or by hand under a loupe or microscope.
• Position the tweezers: bring the flush cutting face up to the exact point on the hairspring coil where the cut is needed.
• Cut cleanly: close the tweezers firmly to shear the wire in one action, keeping the cut flush and square.
• Check the result: inspect the trimmed end and re-test the hairspring's timing before refitting.
• Clean after use: wipe the cutting edge free of any residue to keep it sharp for the next job.
