I'm an absolute newbie when it comes to clocks, but I would like to give it a try. First patient is a Seikosha clock with a chiming mechanism. 20250327_200940.thumb.jpg.bb0f1593b367be871c6a3074eec22d11.jpg

Could anyone recommend any good youtube channels? That would be really appreciated!

Are there any must have clock-related tools I need before I get started? I have watch tools, a lathe and a bushing tool (without reamers..).17431034749959048958234351549738.thumb.jpg.f586c19ac9ffc15a97fc2f355fa9c1ab.jpg

I think you'll be doing a lot of bushing with that one.

Be interested if anyone knows that the large hole in the dial is for? Is it just to see the pendulum swing?
