Vintage Cased 6mm Geneva Watchmakers Lathe Set - Wood Box + 11 Collets

Description:
Up for sale is a beautiful, highly precise micro-horology and watch restoration setup. This is a vintage 6mm Geneva-style round bar (D-section) watchmakers lathe, likely of premium German origin (Lorch / Wolf Jahn style). [1]Unlike common 8mm lathes, this is the smaller 6mm variant engineered explicitly for ultra-fine wristwatch work, staff making, and delicate pivot adjustments. This set comes beautifully integrated into its original fitted timber workshop transit case. [1, 2]What’s Included:

• Original Fitted Timber Case: Vintage wooden storage box featuring an integrated lower hardwood block tray to house the lathe and collets securely.
• Geneva D-Bed Frame: Solid cylindrical alignment rail with a flat ground rear face, mounted directly to the timber base plate. [1]
• Headstock & Tailstock: Smoothly spinning 6mm headstock with a three-step pulley wheel and its original rear drawbar, paired with the essential matching runner tailstock assembly.
• Tool Rest Holder: Correct flip-over style tool rest base clamped securely between the headstock and tailstock.
• 11-Piece Wire Collet Starter Kit: A clean assortment of rare 6mm body diameter collets covering an excellent run of micro-pivoting and stem-making sizes. Includes numbers: 4, 5, 8, 10, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 23, and 24.
• Vintage Motor & Electricals: Includes the original Continental motor (fitted with an English 240V 3-pin plug), foot pedal controller, and articulated task lamp. PLEASE NOTE: The motor is currently non-working. The electrical components are included strictly "as-is" for historical completeness, making this a perfect candidate for an electrical rebuild or a modern motor swap. [1, 2]

Condition: Magnificently preserved mechanical condition. All lathe adjustments slide cleanly, lock down rigidly, and align perfectly along the alignment bar. The timber case is structurally sound with an authentic workshop patina. This is a brilliant mechanical project foundation for a vintage tool collector or local horologist.
