On this sunny spring Friday we are all rooting for most senior student Craig. He has just finished his final exam, and is in a good moral. Best of luck Craig, and until next week!
For the rest of us, working away. It has been an interesting week, with parts disappearing in mysterious ways. Here I am staring at the dust attempting to find something of value.

In our workshop everyone is up to different quests, some are machining and plating, others are working on hairsprings and escapements. Joan is making progress on adjusting pallet fork jewels. Aiming to get no mislocks and safe play, while keeping a good run to the banking and even total lock.

Meanwhile Louis is working on the hairsprings, here you can see him two double bends, his spring centred between the regulating pins and the collet centred over the jewel. Very tedious work, Louis did a good job at it.

In the other workshop, Gary is touching up his Jacot tool doing some pretty decoration, after many hours of labour we have the finished product.

Sens is now spending his time servicing watches that come across his bench, this week he’s working on a very cute Maurice Lacroix.

That is it so far, until next week!
