Introduction

At the beginning of 2011, I took up watchmaking/repairing as a hobby not only to make some money towards my very first watch, but to better understand the inner workings of these mechanical wonders. Taking up watchmaking was truly when my passion for watches began. I've come to appreciate the incredible finishes of haute horlogerie along with the numerous complications that the world of horology has to offer because I began to realize the sheer amount of time that goes into each and every hand-made timepiece.

I decided to create this blog to share my passion with my fellow horology enthusiasts and to document the projects that I will undertake on the path to my very first watch.

Thanks for taking a visit and I hope you enjoy what I've done!

F.B. Adams & Sons

For hours on end, I have tried to repair this movement by F.B. Adams & Sons but to no avail. I got it to run for around 8 hours but then it stopped and I am stuck.... I will be selling this piece soon because I think the problem is that a tooth of one of the gears is broken - something that I do not have the expertise to fix just yet. Even though it is not running, I wanted to post pictures of it because of how beautiful and rare this piece is.

I'll let the pictures speak for themselves!
