Vintage G. Boley / Lorch Style 6mm Geneva Watchmakers Lathe + 9 Micro Collets

Description:
Up for sale is a beautiful, highly specialized piece of micro-precision engineering. This is a vintage 6mm Geneva-style round bar (D-section) bed watchmakers lathe, likely of premium German origin (such as Lorch or Wolf Jahn) [search].Unlike the more common 8mm lathes, this is the smaller 6mm variant engineered specifically for ultra-fine wristwatch work, staff making, and delicate pivot adjustments.This is a mechanically complete kit bundled with its hard-to-find micro-tooling. Please note: No motor is included with this set.What’s Included:

• Geneva D-Bed Bar: Precision round alignment rail with a flat machined back edge, mounted securely on its original circular bench pedestal foot.
• Headstock: Smoothly spinning 6mm headstock with a three-step pulley wheel and its original rear drawbar.
• Tailstock: Includes the essential matching runner tailstock assembly that clamps cleanly to the rail.
• Tool Rest Holder: Complete with the correct flip-over style tool rest base clamped securely between the headstock and tailstock.
• 9-Piece Rare 6mm Micro-Collet Starter Set: A clean, highly essential run of ultra-fine sizes perfect for delicate balance staff and hairspring pivot work. Includes sizes: 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12.

Condition: Beautiful vintage workshop patina. All mechanical components move freely, slide smoothly, and lock tightly along the alignment rail. Because it retains its headstock, tailstock, tool rest base, and an excellent progression of micro-collets, it is a completely self-contained mechanical foundation—just add your choice of a drive system to get turning.
