not an easy thing to do, as you need to get the proper bushing, and then drill the holes in the front, and back plate so they are parallel, then fit the bushing.

if the inside is 1.5", and the depth is 1/4" it should fit. You are really going to have to get a movement to make sure the locket will close.

from what I have read about these Bulle clocks, is that they are very expensive to fix. A working complete one commands a higher price. Over 300,000 were produced.

In antique clocks the seconds hand did not always count the proper seconds, as it was more of a design feature. Maybe the folks at Klockit can tell us if it is truly supposed to count the seconds.
