My Restoration Projects

No Chemicals Used - Really - None 

This is photo of how it came in 

I also don't wear a pretty white lab coat - I work for a living 



This page will cover my restoration Projects and others when time allows.
The First project is a Rounding up / Topping tool in extremely bad shape
You should of seen it when it first came in - The big Swiss companies are not the only one with talented people
Anyways, I do not want to sound like I'm a snob or a bit arrogant, well, maybe, I'm. I earned that right through hard work , and some say you have to work under someone to make it in this business. Not so I'm self taught and proud of what I have done over the years.
I come from a long line of Designers - most all miltary and space, some people were born with a silver sppon, granted I had a Sliver spoon and a Silver hair brush when first born. I also was gifted with the talent to fix what other could not, blessed by the Lord. And I give thanks to God above everyday for it. That is the first part of my mornings, 7 days a week.
Anyways, many items long ago were made by hand, and by the light of candles. And I base my work, by doing things old school, I don't have high tech EQ - most of all my tooling is Antique, most of my Restorations are done by hand and NOT on a CNC or desk top, anyone can plug in a program and spit out watches -
Now you have a base line about this page - in time others will have their projects posted to this site and they have the same love for all things mechincal and their own views and beliefs. Pretty cool, how a simple item - such as a watch can bring millions of people together.
Enjoy -

The Project has started to remove old rust and patina 

Removing rust by hand - Really - no grinder

Rounding up - Topping Tool Restoration 

My shop has a clean room - the rest is a real work zone

It is a long process - you can see rust going a way
