Hello all,

I am a watchmaker from the UK with a small home workshop with a keen interest in small scale engineering!

I hope everybody is keeping well in these interesting times!

Hello Matt and welcome. There are a number of clockmakers on here, not sure about watches but I'm sure there must be a few.

I cannot claim to be a clockmaker although I have built one and have repaired others.

It may help to indicate roughly whereabouts you live in case either way. Just a country and county is enough.

I've just seen your post about a BCA and electrics. It may be better to use an inverter as the motor has 389V.

Have a look at

No connection except as a satisfied customer.

All the best,

Brian

Welcome to the Forum.

Not in the same league as you, being much more of a "hammer and chisel" merchant.

You will find lots of opportunities for receiving, or giving, help on here. A vast range of expertise is present.
