“ 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. ”

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.

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 !

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.

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 However, as the volume of work for the laboratory is now declining, the canton has withdrawn the funding.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.

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.
