Lorch Watchmakers' Lathe Boxed Sets
Lorch Home Page

A very comprehensively equipped Lorch Geneva-pattern watchmaker's lathe set - probably catalogued as the No. 10.  Both 6 mm and 8 mm headstocks are included and only a few items from the maker's extensive accessory range are not present. The next set, the No. 11 was built with a drawer to hold a vast range of collets. The designations of the boxed sets changed over the years and, as Lorch also made the boxes available separately for fitting out by owners, it is not always possible to identify them precisely.

Boxed Lorch WW watchmaker's lathe. This much heavier Lorch lathe is, in comparison with the Geneva-patter models very rare. Beautifully made and with a splendid plated finish this would, originally, have been a very expensive (if high effective) purchase.
