Build the skills. Understand the movement. Preserve the craft.

- Service a mechanical movement end to end: let the mainspring down, strip the going train, remove the balance and pallet fork, clean, lubricate, and rebuild with confidence
- Oil the escapement, correct beat error, and regulate on the timing machine
- Diagnose and service quartz movements: batteries and contacts, coil testing, the diagnostic flow, resealing, and a full quartz overhaul
- Understand automatic winding - reversers and magic levers - and test winding efficiency
- Handle complications such as the day-date, and finish with proper casing and quality checks
Build the skills. Understand the movement. Preserve the craft.
