Journal

Notes from the bench.

Occasional writing on movements, materials, and why the harder way of making things is usually the one worth choosing.

Anatomy of a Calibre What the parts behind the caseback actually do, and why so few of them are decorative.
Why a Watch Should Be Repairable Glue is faster than screws, and cheaper, and it ends the conversation about whether anyone will open the object again.
