I still have lots to learn from you guys and it's my pleasure to share. 1 more shot of the beautifully finished caliber 13.21 from my watch. A shot I took at the booth today. I attempted to regulate a balance spring :) Stay tuned for more on that cheers r...

Regulate Montblanc Villeret balance wheel?

Agent Robin, At your first attempt ? Nearly impossible to regulate the balance wheel even with Monique as trainer. To do it after a glass or three of champagne....Impossible! As I discovered........ ;) MTF

I made sure when I tried this...

I only had coffee and water and I started early in the morning. You will see the action soon MTF. :) Pls try not to laugh then :p Cheers robin

Hi Robin, will you become a watchmaker now ??

no matter what, you will likely get to appreciate more the detail focus, steady hands and patience required. Enjoy!! Gordon

To be completely honest....

I think I failed the course! :P But Julien was very encouraging as always :) I hope to share more on this soon - putting the hairspring into the balance wheel. The pin I tried and succeeded once but failed the 2nd time... I didn't make it to the screws :P...
