SUMMARY:WATCH 150: Service on the Watch Case: Crystals\, Crowns\, Tubes and Water Resistance
DESCRIPTION:  \nThe purpose of this new course is to teach the much overlooked skills involved with casing. Many skills are needed when dealing with the wide variety of complex case designs. We will explore crystals\, case buttons\, crowns and case tubes. These components will be serviced (ie taken apart\, gaskets replaced\, lok-tite applied\, etc). Complete disassembly of the cases will be done using the case press and a multitude of various dies. You will learn the proper ways to utilize the case press while minimizing the risk of damaging components.  In addition\, waterproof testing (both dry and wet methods) will be taught and applied to all of the watch cases you work on. This class also allows for the proper casing and uncasing of a few different types of quartz and mechanical movements as well. \nThis would be great course for: \n\nA new or existing polisher\nNew or existing Watch Technician\nWatchmaker who hasn’t had this type of training\nWatchmaker whom needs updating of these skills\nWatchmaker / Technician who wants to learn water testing on a multitude of different machines.\n\n  \n Prerequisites:  none \n  \nCourse objectives  \nThe student will learn about: \n\nGluing in crystals\nRemoving fixed and rotating bezels\nThe case press usage and its variables\nMeasuring and selecting the proper gaskets\nThe Systematic approach of disassembly and assembly\nFitting a case tube plus Loctite\nApplication of Fomblin to gaskets and caseback threads\nDealing with accessories such as case back screws\, helium valves and more\nWater testing the case (utilizing both the wet and dry methods\n\n  \nThis is a full hands-on course \n\nThis course deals with a variety of case designs\n\n  \nCost: $1095 for AWCI members $1245 for non-members \nClass Schedule: 5 days\, Monday – Thursday 8:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. Friday 8 a.m. – 3 p.m. \nFeel free to contact our education director Jason Champion with any questions at education@awci.com or at 866-367-2924 extension 303. \n  \n Essential materials for the student to bring \n  \nHand-tools should be provided by the student.

SUMMARY:CLOCK 120: The American Style Time-and-Strike Movement
DESCRIPTION:This introductory course is to present the learner with the various aspects of clocks. There is much to know! What will be stressed in this 3-day hands-on educational program will be an examination of an American style time/strike movement. This movement is a most common example of clocks found in repair centers. \nThe learner will start with examining the movement as a time only movement\, the strike train will be removed. The educational program on day one will center upon starting with the power source (open main spring) and safety considerations. Study will then explore the motion works and related components to the dial hands. After this\, there will be an examination of the escapement (recoil). Students will become proficient at disassembly and reassembly of this “time only” movement. \nDay 2 experiences will center upon the strike train and its related components. As with the time only experience\, there will be discussion of mainspring power safety and containment. There will be a discussion of “Lock”\, “Warning”\, “Run”\, and back to “Lock” sequence. The necessary motion works components will be included to trip the strike train into operation. All necessary lever action will be considered and explained. \nDuring day 3\, the learner will “pull it all together”. Since the American style time/strike movement is often times the “bread and butter” of many clock repair centers\, participants will be requested to disassemble and reassemble the movement several times. This will surely uncover trials and pitfalls of this process. Upon completion of reassembly\, each movement will be checked for proper operation\, along with being in beat\, proper synchronization of the strike train and related concerns. Many of these performances are required for successful completion of the Twenty First Century Clockmaker Standards & Practices. The ultimate goal of certification will be discussed.

DESCRIPTION:This is a user friendly course explaining the inner workings of a watch. It is a must for anyone considering taking the CW21. It fills in some of the blanks and allows you to understand not only functional issues\, but theoretical ones as well. Differences between modern fast beat watches verses their older counterparts will discussed and physical differences will be shown in an enlarged viewing state. Lubrication\, Epilame\, escapement\, isochronism\, vertical clutch systems\, Automatic systems\, calendar systems\, basic calculations and much more will be explained. Practical scenarios of things you are likely to encounter\, will also be presented and corrective suggestions will be offered. Testing will be done at the end of each section covered. The answers will be reviewed and you will have an opportunity to discuss the bases of questions and the details of the answers.

SUMMARY:Watch 175: Case and Bracelet Refinishing
DESCRIPTION:Polishing a case today requires many skills. Complex case and bracelet designs are common in the marketplace. \nStandardized polishing methods were often not taught in watchmaking schools here in the U.S. until recently. Many watchmakers learned polishing by trial and error or observing the procedures of others. Today’s consumer has high expectations concerning the quality of the watch repair which includes the refinishing of the case and bracelet. Knowledge is the key. \nOur formal training program includes concepts and hands-on training in the following areas: \n\nCasing information\nCase and bracelet refinishing\nMetallurgy\nLathe finishes\nUse of modern variable speed polishers\nModern polishing techniques ensuring case shape integrity\nWater resistant testing\n\nThis course is designed to help you realize: \n\nA higher quality of service\nreduced come-backs due to moisture issues\nfaster turnaround time\nhigher customer satisfaction\n\nPrerequisites: Must be able to stand for long periods of time and operate machinery safely including the Lathe. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
