Watches & Wonders Inbound

 We’ll start off the coolest stuff. Our friendly neighborhood Craig is making amazing progress on his school watch. Although he has graduated, he has rented a bench to carry on his research into the mystical arts of horology. 

Curvy

All you see is designed and made by Craig, here using a sandwich method for the bridges, giving it a truly unique look. Not only that but also making curved Geneva stripes, putting the waves into waves of Geneva.

As for myself, I have been trying my hand at black polishing larger surfaces. Here I am attempting it at the regulator of a Zenith pocket watch. Black polishing and frosting.

Meanwhile, in my workshop, Caio and Guillerme have started learning the process of making the winding stem, a complicated part which required many steps to complete. Jae won has also been making progress with this task, here showing his hardened and tempered stem.

Gary has started to work on a case, looking forward to seeing the finished product.


Tomorrow we will be heading to Geneva for a weekend in watches, we are all super excited and we will catch you up next week.
