Graduation

 

 Week 21

This week we celebrated the graduation of four students: Ivan Berets, Louis Stein, and Varun Kumar from the 2-year Fullskill course and Sheikh Bamadhaj from the 1-year Technician course. Congratulations to all of them!

Going out to dinner to celebrate

Ivan, Louis, and Varun all went above and beyond the requirements of the Fullskill course, and the three of them already have jobs waiting for them with independent watchmaking companies. We will no doubt be seeing great things from them in the future.

STUDENT HIGHLIGHTS

Workshop A

Students:
    Art, Bernd, Cesar, Joan, Louis Lu, Mun, Nine

    Even with the celebrations, work doesn't stop for the students. Bernd passed his winding stem exam this week, and Art and Nine worked on pallet fork adjustments. Joan prepared for his own winding stems by making slot gravers, sharpened to a fine point.

 

Cesar spent his time this week learning how to make snailing finish. 

 

Workshop B

Students:
    Craig, Ivan, Louis, Sense, Sheikh, Varun

    

Before graduation, Ivan, Louis, Sheikh, and Varun got in one last lesson on servicing quartz movements.

Craig continued work on his school watch, making sure the bridges were properly aligned to the mainplate.
