SUMMARY:Watch 175: Case and Bracelet Refinishing with Carl's Clock and Watch Repair
DESCRIPTION:Join us in Colorado Spring and Carl’s Clock and Watch Repair for our Watch 175 Case and Bracelet Refinishing Class. \nPolishing 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.

SUMMARY:Clock Basics 2: Adjusting the Crutch and Putting the Clock in Beat
DESCRIPTION:The objective of this webinar is to examine the interrelationship between the crutch and the pendulum rod. An improperly aligned crutch will surely stop the clock! Additionally\, the crutch is used to “put the clock into beat”. An out of beat clocks sounds terrible\, and may stop the clock as well. We will examine these adjustments and see how a beat amplifier and beat error measuring device can be used to help in these adjustments. \nAWCI Webinar \nWebinar: Clock Basics 2 Adjusting the Crutch and Putting the Clock in Beat \nTuesday June 2\, 2020 1:15 – 2:15PM EDT \n  \n \nAWCI Members: FREE \nGeneral Public: $15  \nPresenter:  \nKen DeLucca

SUMMARY:Postponed - Clock 120: Introduction to Clockmaking
DESCRIPTION:  \nInstructor: Kenneth P. De Lucca\, Ph.D. \nLocation: AWCI Headquarters\, Harrison\, OH \nAWCI member Cost: $595 \nThis 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. \n  \nDay 1: After observing how the clock movement functions as a time/strike movement\, the 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 during Day 1. It is recommended that the learner complete at least five (5) disassembly/reassembly activities of the time only train side of the movement. \n  \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. Like the time train side of the movement\, it is recommended that the learner complete at least five (5) disassembly/reassembly activities of the strike train side of the movement. \n  \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 at least five (5) 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. \n  \nRequired Materials: \nMainspring “C” clamps to contain power (two per movement). \nWinding keys for movements. \nLet down keys for movements. \nHook (such as dental pick or the like).                                               \nTweezers.nng \nEye magnifiers. \n¼ inch nut driver and/or pliers.
