Here in Le Locle the spring will have to wait a bit. The warm weather is gone and the snow is back.
This week Sabri paid us a visit, showing us he’s stock of new and vintage watchmaking tools.

| Everyone looking for treasure |
The Athenian watchmaker Anastasios Sousounis gifted us an interesting book about the long history of Greek invention. Anastasios was a student who took part in the school’s summer hairspring course. We thank him for his gift, it will be added to the school’s library.
Ivan made a specialised collet to fit in ratchet wheels, for finishing. Very useful little gadget.

| Putting it to use. |
The student Cesar started playing around with Geneva strips and using mild enamel fillings. The surfaces need more finishing before the stripes are made but we’re getting there.

| The point vice being made |

This week Craig perfected using the pantograph for engraving. Doing five passes with the pantograph not running using a special bit he made with Agathon.

Until next time
