It's a "cry for help". Without oil, the metal parts grind on each other, causing severe wear and damage.Oil also attracts dust which can make the oil "gummy' and add drag to its operation until it can no longer overcome the friction.If a clock is oiled regularly [every three to five years], chances are you will only ever need to reoil your clock.If the clock is allowed to run until it stops, the only sure way to service it is to remove the works from its case, dismantle the parts, clean, service, and put the movement back together with fresh oil and correct adjustment.This book will teach you how to do all this.Covered: Regula, Baduf, Hubert Herr, Schatz, Rack & Snail, Count Wheel, Bellows and Weights, Movement ID, Cleaning and Oiling.Complete Step-by-Step Repair Procedure.

For almost 300 years, pocket watches were important accessories for the nobility and middle-classes. In order to store the watches securely and stylishly, artfully designed stands that matched the wearer's interior were developed and were an impressive reflection of the history of European art and culture from the Baroque to the early twentieth century. The stands ranged from miniature versions of grandfather and mantle clocks to one-off works of art made from wood, ceramic or metal.Until now, research on pocket-watch stands has attracted little attention. This publication provides a first representativeoverview of some 450 objects from a unique private collection in southern Germany, documenting its wealth of designs, whichencompass a large repertoire of Christian, mythological and political themes. Scholarly texts on the history of the objects,their designs, and restoration issues make this an indispensable standard work in this field.

Written as a type of intimate journal combining childhood memories with those of a young apprentice and all the experiences gained and born of encounters, firstly with the great names in jewelry and subsequently in watchmaking, this book is above all a testimony to the birth of a passion placed at the service of the brand. François Bodet makes plain, through his own story, the profound significance of time in the evolution of knowledge. This is all the more worth highlighting today, when our society is confronted with the constraints of standardization, computerization and dehumanization which result in the "quickly done" taking precedence over the "well done". It is appropriate to remember that success may only be achieved by following the various stages of a process that must allow time to take its course. As well as devoting his life to the rebirth of historical pocket watches while safeguarding their essence, François Bodet succeeded in promoting Breguet internationally, while preserving the emotional substance of objects that have come to life through a process showing respect for the various phases of time. These pages are filled with a sense of humility, since knowledge - as the author aptly expresses it - is passed on by individuals serving as intermediaries in fostering the growth of talent. All his masters are named and due tribute is paid to them, since it is so clearly true that "the nostalgic sound of the soul" in each of these watches.
