Hi,

It's time to introduce myself. My name is Morten, 38 years old. Born and raised in Oslo, where I live with my wife and son. For the last ten years I have been fascinated by watch repair. First as a hobby and the last 3-4 years I have had it as a part time job beside my job as a Paramedic.

My interest beside repairing is also horological history like Breguet, G.Daniels and American pocket watches.

I am a big fan of the watch repair channel and when I saw this forum, I got very excited.

I will try to contribute as much as I can.

Welcome Morten,

You have a busy workbench just like mine. This is a great forum that accommodates all levels of horologists. For me personally I have found this forum invaluable when jobs don,t go exactly to plan. There is always someone who will help or come up with a solution or at least offer sympathy!!!

 

Enjoy

Welcome Morten !!!

Nice workbench too... I'm so jealous of anyone with a workbench... (I have a multipurpose living room table / dining room table / watch workbench / laundry folding table :) )

Hello Morten,

 

Welcome to the forum, that workbench establishes your credentials so I am sure we can look forward to some interesting posts.

You could start with the watch on your wrist or your watch collection or any specialities you have or need info on because we are all inherently curious about other folks watches here.

 

Skål

      A lathe with indexing that won't break the bank?

      By coreymsnow · Posted

      Hi folks, I'm doing some homework on getting a watchmaker's lathe, and it's clear I have a lot to learn. But I know one goal: I want to be able to fabricate wheels, which would require an indexing capability. I know how to use large lathes- like, giant metal lathes- but my experience is a few decades old now (but you never forget the smell of the metal cutting oil). So I'm looking to learn anew, and have a goal to get to a point where I can fabricate some basic watch parts. I also have no specific timeframe and want to do this right, so I'll be patient and learn what I need to before spending the money. I know I'm not going to get anything for a pittance, but I'm also not really able to put together the scratch for a $5-$10k lathe. What's out there for a hobbyist that can either handle some fabrication out of the box or can be relatively easily made to do so? Thanks!

      Hello and welcome to the WRT forum.   This usually points to broken balance pivot.  Though a watch in need of clean & lube can do the same. Easiest diag would be to  see if balance pivot doesn't stay in hole jewel of the setting, when you lift one side of balance rim with an oiler or gently with pair of tweezers. Another would be to detach balance complete from the cock and take a look at pivot under high maginfication.  Regs

      Help with Hermle ships clock

      Ahhh, yes.  I hadn’t thought of that.  I’ve serviced quite a few of these and the first time I didn’t realise it was a ships strike pattern!  Ha ha, confused me totally until I realised.

      Help with Hermle ships clock

      By Rixy · Posted

      Hi Mike, I did, thanks. Found this clip that was really helpful:   It says Seth Thomas but it's actually the same Hermle I've been working on. I'd had it working correctly all along but hadn't noticed that the lever with the sprung end stops the hammer a bit short of the bell on the second ding at the end of the half-past sequence. If only I'd put the bell on when testing, rather than just looking at the hammer, my ears would have told me it was working,  even if my eyes didn't!
