Most importantly, Jim Lubic and Tom Pack are no longer with the organization. We thank them for their years of service, and we wish them well in their endeavors. The Board of Directors has appointed Mr. Keith Rosser, our new Chief Financial Officer, to act as interim Executive Director until a new Executive Director is appointed. Mr. Rosser has 25 years of experience in positions of progressive responsibilities in publicly-owned, multi- billion dollar international companies serving as Vice President, Treasurer, Controller and Project Manager. He will be working with the staff and the Board of Directors to improve the services of AWCI. Both the AWCI Board and staff will continue working hard through this transition period. We look forward to your continued support as we advance the Art, Science, and Business of Horology.

  • Testing and Adjusting Clock Movements
    SEMCW3-07 Testing and adjusting clock movements Overview This unit identifies the competences you need to carry out tests and adjustments on clock movements, in accordance with approved procedures. You will be required to carry out tests on a range of clock movements, such as longcase, regulator, two and three train fusee, two and three train going barrel, and one and two train with platform escapement, to establish that they are functioning correctly. You will be required to carry out tests and adjustments which will include function, duration, and variation in accuracy during the duration, rate and beat. Your responsibilities will require you to comply with organisational policy and procedures for carrying out the testing and adjustment activities, and to report any problems with these activities that you cannot personally resolve, or that are outside your permitted authority, to the relevant people. You will be expected to work with a minimum of supervision, taking personal responsibility for your own actions and for the quality and accuracy of the work that you carry out. Your underpinning knowledge will provide a good understanding of your work, and will provide an informed approach to applying appropriate testing and adjusting procedures to clock movements. You will understand the clock movements being tested and adjusted, the test equipment being used, the various testing procedures and their application, in adequate depth to provide a sound basis for carrying out the activities, correcting faults, and ensuring that the clock movement functions correctly. You will also be expected to report where the outcome of the tests and adjustments identifies the need for further investigation or corrective measures.

  • Servicing a Platform: the Basics
    Servicing a Platform: The Basics By David J. LaBounty, CMC FBHI I: Supplies and Tools Craytex: A rubberized abrasive for deburring, smoothing, and polishing; extra fine grain, square stick. This is used to clean and polish the pivots. Fig. 1 Craytex abrasive stick Eye Loupe: Magnification will be necessary to see wear, dirt, placement of oils, etc… Safety Glasses: Safety First! The glasses will protect your eyes as well as provide a place for your eye loupe. Pith Wood: This soft wood is useful for holding small parts while work is done, as well as for cleaning small tools that are poked into it. Tweezers: Small parts can’t be handled well with fingers and it will be nearly impossible to service a platform Fig. 2 Important tools without using tweezers. The tweezers will have to be properly shaped at the tips so as not to eject the piece being held. Small parts can be shot large distances, and probably lost with improperly shaped tweezer tips. Parts Bin: A watch parts container with divisions is handy, but not necessary. Demagnetizer: Sometimes tools or parts will become magnetized and a demagnetizer is essential for solving this problem. Fig. 3 Demagnetizer Hand Air Blower: A hand bulb for blowing air allows you to direct the airflow, control the amount of air, and remove small particulates that wouldn’t otherwise be removable. Using your breath to blow on a piece will introduce water and could cause problems later on. Fig. 4 Blower bulb 1 Oilers: Being able to place the oil exactly where it is needed is a necessity, and dip oilers greatly aid in that process.
