POCKET WATCH WORKSHOP
April 29-30, 2006

This two day class was held at the Founders Building in Grapevine, TX.  The class was designed to give the beginning and intermediate students additional skills and confidence in repairing and troubleshooting of pocket watches. This class was offered to bring back former students from the NAWCC F-301 Suit Case "Introduction to Basic Pocket Watch Class" and other basic pocket watch classes to gather and to share successes or problems in repairing their pocket watch projects. There was no formal instruction.

The class was coordinated by Bill Andrle.  Assisting the students in their repair projects was John Marchant, an experienced watch repairman.

John Acker seems happy repairing his pocket watch. He must have figured out that balance wheel problem!
