Hairspring, to be or not to be..flat, centered, regulation curve, spacing between pins... so much to learn and accomplish. Hairspring manipulation is a critical skill to learn and we look forward to seeing this vibrated spring on the machine. #watchmaing #hairspring #sawta #osuit #horology #schoolwatch (at OSUIT School of Watchmaking)

Very scary pin...the error was found while performing escarpment checks on a customer's watch. The damage is extensive and we look forward to replacing the roller and returning to the customer properly repaired. #watchmaking #realliferepair #osuit #sawta (at OSUIT School of Watchmaking)

You've been reading about the Maillardet automaton in Horological Times. Here, a "home movie" made by Andrew Baron, who restored the automaton in 2007,...
Amazing Automaton.  Andrew's presentation at the 2014 annual presentation was very informative.  Great job!
