Pivot

By Frederik Drost

Pivot is a term used to describe the movable point on a watch dial, usually made of metal, that is used to indicate the hour and minute hands. The pivot is usually located between the center of the dial and the outer edge, and as it turns, it allows the hands to rotate around the dial. Pivots are typically made of stainless steel and can be either cylindrical or conical in shape. They are usually located in the center of the dial and can be easily identified by the small hole in the center.
