Triumph Watchmaker’s Lathe

[Grindstone CowboyParticipant @grindstonecowboy]

Hi folks

A friend has sent me these photos of a watchmaker's lathe he was given many years ago and was wondering if I could tell him anything about it.

As I know very little about watchmaker's lathes, I thought I'd ask here, as I'm sure someone will be able to give chapter and verse on the history, usage and so on for this rather old looking machine.

Thanks, Rob

Any information?

I don't know if this is the lathe in question? But it certainly looks similar.

Thanks Brian – I never thought to look at lathes.co.uk. It certainly seems to be a variation on those shown. I'll get to see it "in person" in a few weeks, so I'll do a detailed comparison then.

I have a 6mm Lorch. I think there are lots of variations, some arising from a lengthy production history and others from the sheer multitude of accessories that could be had for them. I'm curious to know when mine was made but have never found any reliable way to date them.
