SUMMARY:WATCH 180: Basic Watch Servicing
DESCRIPTION:The purpose of this course is to teach the student the basics of a modern mechanical watch with some complication\, such as a calendar or another feature. The size of the movements used will be smaller than those used in the Introduction class and the 21st Century class. They will consist of both new and older regulation technologies. Some of the major focus points will be on oiling with precision\, timing analysis\, troubleshooting and calendar lubrication and assembly. This class will include common repairs such as fitting a stem and crown\, measuring\, crystal fitting of simple round crystal and waterproof testing of the watch using the latest testing equipment. \n  \n Prerequisites:  at least one of the following classes: \nIntroduction to Watch Repair \n21st Century Watchmaking \n      \n Course objectives \nThe student will learn about: \n\nThe definitions and a brief history of the mechanical chronograph and its various components\nThe study of the basic features and functions\nThe functioning and special care of the calendar system\nThe Systematic approach of disassembly & problem diagnosis.\nModern assembly procedures\nModern oiling procedures\nETACHRON and the Swiss Gate adjusting procedures\nTiming & Adjustments\nFitting a stem and crown\nMeasuring and fitting a round crystal and crystal gasket\nWater testing the case.\n \n\n\nThis is a full hands-on course\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.

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
