Everyone is back from the summer break. Starting strong with an eventful week.
Craig for the past few weeks in the workshop has been working on a complete restoration of his late mother’s watch. This included a full diagnostics and cleaning of a quarts movement, a new crystal, complete disassembly and cleaning of the case, and sanding down the old worn plating, polishing the metal to a pristine finish, and re-plating in gold. All that remains is the clasp, which is made out of a stainless steel alloy that is resisting electroplating.

Meanwhile Gary has been working on a case he designed with pen and paper. He first machined it from brass then moved on to steel. The finished product shall be coming along soon.
