Summary:
A good introduction to clockmaking and watchmaking. Renaud guided me through the process of reassembling a watch, highlighting crucial dos and don’ts.

Summary:
Really entertaining session with Renaud. Covered the fascinating history and major innovations of timepieces which was fun to "marry" with my own knowledge of other history and events at those time. Also did a hands-on mechanical disassembly / reassembly of inner working pieces. I was wearing a ball watch on attendance and was "scolded" for not keeping my complications correctly set :) .... that won't happen again. I was a little dubious of this gift voucher from my wife, but am so happy I attended and I appreciate my own modest watch collection so much more now.
