“ The combined effect of foreign competition and the loss of their protective exchange rate would have decimated the Swiss watch industry even if it hadn't been for quartz movements. But quartz movements were the final blow. ”

Received this little sprocket wheel from Australia last week; it should fix the date setting on my recently acquired Seiko 5606-8110.
The 56 movement series is a great Seiko movement series from the 70s; with the little issue that the date quickset can literally fall apart, as they used a plastic wheel - which reduces wear on the day/date disc, but after 50 years, the gear gives up instead. Wish me and my staking set luck :)

When local politics meets the #watchmaking industry:
Last year, the cantonal parliament of Bern approved a loan of 3.8 million CHF for the expansion of the #COSC laboratory in Biel. However, as the volume of work for the laboratory is now declining, the canton has withdrawn the funding.
COSC (Contrôle officiel suisse des chronomètres) is a non-profit organisation that checks the accuracy of movements, testing almost two and a half million movements each year.

Still in love with this one. My first big work on a watch. A lot of scars on the dial (some made by myself at the time..), hands in a poor state but still charming !

Checking in with the boss this morning. He’s happy with the progress I’ve made on the dial this week. The main dial pattern is sorted, and I think we’ve found a sub-dial pattern both of us are happy with. He is concerned with site security with the delivery people who keep showing up. He likes to yell at them from his chair on the lawn.

When I was installing the privacy film on the door from the shop to the house, the boss insisted I leave a gap at the bottom. He checks up on me from time to time, and is ready and willing to comment on the day’s progress.

DuBois operated continually under family control for six generations!
When the company celebrated their 100th anniversary in 1885, the newspapers proclaimed that they were already one of the oldest watchmaking companies in Switzerland.

Watchmaking: Making a Tourbillon Cage

I think a "wowee!" is appropriate here. Fantastic engineering and goed looking as well, though maybe not an every day watch. Of course, the price is even more astronomical than the watch.

While we often turn to #Switzerland when it comes to the craft of making #watches. Increasingly some really oustanding (and affordable) ones can be found in : #Germany, #Thailand and #France.
For example, founded in 1925 #Laco makes anything from dress watches to #WW2 flieger and #sports watches.
I will post more on interesting brands in the coming weeks.

"I posted a very long and detailed article about the early history of the balance spring cartel in Switzerland. I spent 6 months researching this (in old French newspapers, academic papers, and business records!) and thought it was pretty interesting.

Hi all! I studied computer science with a focus on RTOS and FP/PL, but I graduated law school earlier this year. I practice at a boutique firm that primarily handles IP cases. I foilboard and I play way too many rhythm games in and out of the arcade.
I contribute to open source projects where I can, and I write up my experience in my digital garden which I’ve been maintaining for 2 years now. It’s also a good place to find usage tips for projects/tools that you might want to use.
My passion for tech also includes privacy, and I’m an advocate for minimizing your digital footprint. GenAI is a scam and its purveyors are causing real harm while they sell it as hard as they can.

This is incredibly exciting! #Breitling has acquired #UniversalGenève, one of the most prestigious names in complicated #watchmaking! Judging by the incredible heritage and modern pieces coming out of Breitling lately, this can only be excellent news for the hallowed brand.

I'm waiting for watch parts to dry, so I'm left to sit here and think a bit. It's a relaxing time, and I am grateful I can do this. Thinking about this Seiko I've been wearing a week or two straight now, and I'm wondering if I'll ever get it to keep anything netter than ten seconds. I know it's asking a lot, but it's a fun thing to tinker with. I've got a large collection of watches but, for the most part, I think I'm losing attachment. This is a good thing, as I can try selling those off if/when I can.
I'll say this, a great way to keep a watch fresh in your collection is to swap bands. It helps adjust the look, feel, and feeling it could give you.
I wonder if I'm doing the right thing, or if I'm good enough, if I even know how to do what I want. It's scary but I need to face these questions and work them out.
Just some of the thoughts while my watch cleaner drones on.
If you have some watch questions, reach out! Maybe I can help. 🧡

New toy in! This is used to lift hands off watches with less (I won't say zero) of a chance of damging the dial! Kind of overkill but I wanted to try it out, better to have it and not needed sort of thing. Should help elevate the work I can do at home though!
-
I think I might be the first person to take this watch apart. Now, to clean it all and lubricate!
-
"That watch works great, I haven't had it serviced in thirty years!"
Yeah, sure. I'm not saying the customer said this, but I do have people with this attitude frequently enough. I wish I could frame something like this to show every person that thinks their watch is in perfect shape being untouched in however many decades.
What you're seeing here is old oil that has solidified and picked up whatever microscopic bits of debris, and left unchecked this can cause damage to the jewel/pivot. Luckily modern oils last longer and are synthetic so they help keep things in check longer (but still not indefinitely!)

Curious, what's everyone wearing today? Let me see your #watch !!!
I've been working on this special #Seiko and it's up and running great, I even jeweled the barrel arbor to make it extra special. Now, I'm wearing it to get real-world testing to see how well/accurately it runs!
What's your watch? Does it have a story? Just looks cool? Let me know!
🧡

Today I have put on a proper watch ... I don't do this much, and as a watch maker I should wear a watch more often ... Giggles
It's a mechanic movement, the ticking is beautiful and calming

You might not know who Luther Goddard was, but his methods contributed greatly to the American watchmaking industry of the 19th and 20th centuries.
