Great setup! We love the mobile classroom ❤️

Is this facebook page still active? I am a member but this post is from a year ago. There are certainly a lot of people following. I would share but there is no updated information.

Looking forward to see you in JCK 😍

Looks great over there! 🙌🙌🙌

AWCI..my dear Uncle Archie! He loved watch making!

I have these things I don’t know what half of them are but they are adorably old fashioned

The results are in, and @americanwatchmakers would like to congratulate @alenagracediaz and @david.lindow on their election and re-election, respectively, to the AWCI Board of Directors! We are beyond grateful to have two passionate, motivated and selfless horologists helping to lead our organization into the future, and who will be relentless in not only helping AWCI achieve its objectives and goals in the coming years, but furthering horology altogether! #horology #horological #horoloupe #horologicaltools #horologist #horologymania #watch #watchmania #watchmaking #watchmaker #watchmakingschool #watchmakerbench #watchmakersbench #watchmakingtools #watchservicing #watchmakerlathe #watchstudies #clock #clockmakingskills #clockmaking #clockmaker #clockmaking #machining #machinist #clockmakers #roseengine #roseenginelathe #lindowmachineworks #lindowroseengine #lindowclockmaker #horologyeducation ...
