I have just published a detailed guide to hairspring correction in the Learn section. I’m proud of this one, as I really haven’t seen any other content on the web that goes into as much detail about how to approach hairspring correction problems in a systematic way. I really hope this helps demistify the process for fellow travelers on my watchmaking journey.

Continuing my streak of finally publishing long-promised watchmaking guides, I have just published two new guides. The first, my Regulation Guide, goes into great detail on regulating a watch, including a number of troubleshooting tips if things don’t go as easily as you might have hoped. Of course, before you regulate a watch you first have to address any issues with low amplitude, and I have published a separate, practical Amplitude Troubleshooting Guide that delves into that topic. Neither of these guides are truly exhaustive, but if they help a lightbulb go off for you when you’re struggling with a challenging watch, I’ll like they’ve accomplished their purpose.

It’s been quite a long time coming, but I’ve finally published my Advanced Tools Guide. This will be helpful for anyone relatively new to watchmaking who is really ready to double down on the hobby and improve their ability to address challenging situations.

Just a few quick site updates for my Collection and Shop pages.

I finally got around to a project I’ve been meaning to do for some time - sharing my own personal watch collection on the site. The new pages have detailed photos and information on the watches I’ve restored for my own appreciation. I’m hoping this will be interesting for fellow vintage watch collectors, and also serve as an “idea page” for folks looking for a vintage watch that suits their tastes. You can visit the collection by clicking on the link in the nav bar.

It’s been a while, but I finally added to the Learning material on the site by publishing my Watch Movement Cleaning Guide. Take a look and let me know what you think.
