Welcome to CWR
Technical Pages
Are you interested in how some
things are done in the horological field? Are you just getting started in
watch repair or looking for some extra info?
Check out the following links
for technical information.
I
made these documents and pictures as basic tech help to others in the horological field and to
give the public an idea of what it takes to do even the smallest of repairs.
If anyone has any comments or something they would like to add to the list please,
e-mail me. Many minds working together will accomplish much more than one
working alone. Please
note that there are many ways to do different things in horology and I am not implying
that any ideas in these pages are the best or the only way(s) to do any given project.
If you have a question about our services or just want help
with a horological related task see our Q&A page or go to
our technical pages. We also have a
parts search page you could use to send us
a description of a specific part you may need, we would then try to locate it
for you.
I will be adding pages to this list on a regular basis so
be sure to check back often.

Sound recordings

WAV sound of watch running properly
WAV sound of watch out of beat
WAV sound of watch with
excessive power to the escapement ( knocking the bankings )
Several things can cause this but the most
common is an overly strong mainspring.
