Yesterday Bernd finished his hair spring exam! This is his final exam before his final exam. Now having 5 months free to prepare and work on his own projects. A big weight lifted.
Over in our workshop, after Bernd’s exam we started learning the final details of the technician course. Our professor taught us the theory and oiling points of the calendar and of the automatic winding. Which now leaves just the chronograph.
While in the other workshop, Nick is making solid headway on his turning. After having learnt how to operate the lathe, he’s quickly finishing parts for his tools.

Completing his balance bridge holder, a very useful tool in the second year. Also putting to use the milling attachment to make screw heads.
Meanwhile Sens is preparing for his final exam, here achieving and almost perfect reading.
Jaewon, Chris, Gary and Phil are now learning the intricate winding and setting system of the watch. A part of the watch hidden behind the dial and rarely seen. This arrangement of the watch is particularly tricky to oil and involves a couple different oils.
That’s it for this week! Until next time!
