This was me for 2 hours for the tiniest contact spring for a digital watch alarm. I never found it and had to make one from a spring bar lol
There needs to be some way to essentially work inside a ziploc bag, with lighting and ventilation.
Or perhaps have a floor with a substantial slope to a central collection point.
I had the same problem, except it was a spring bar that I lost on my creme colored carpet. Still couldn't find it so I had to buy another one. 🙄
Been there - had the click spring from a Seiko 66 take off. I spent a long time looking for it with a magnet, and ended up making a new one. Only to find it the next day, down the heat vent (which I went down looking for a screw for the same movement 🙄).
And don't ask me about cap jewels and their springs. I still don't know where it went.
Found the seconds hand I was looking for this morning with a fridge magnet only to lose a rachet screw 10 mins later 😑 still haven't found it even with the magnet
the watchmakers kiss : when a spring pings away, hitting you in the face before disappearing forever.
I'll remember that one "watchmakers kiss".
