  Can you give some more details on your watchmaking hobby? What's a good way to get started?
  • Kevin_S 9y ago
    I wish I could, but I am practically brand new to it. The interest in watchmaking is coming second to an interest in watch collecting. The advice I got was to get Watchmaking by George Daniels and read that to get a strong overview. It's unfortunately currently sitting on my bookshelf, I am forcing myself to complete the GMAT before I dive into it.

      I am very interested in watch making and saved these two [0][1] items to come back to when I have time. I would love to see what resources you have to share if any at all!

        At maker faire SF there was a $10-$15 kids plastic watching making kit some association was selling. Search for Horology, AWCI (http://www.awci.com/ http://www.awci.com/). I have been obsessed with lego-based pendulum clocks for a while as well as how cuckoo clocks work. This is the kit I saw btw (not sure about this particular seller): https://www.happypuzzle.co.uk/products/the-amazing-clock-kit.aspx https://www.happypuzzle.co.uk/products/the-amazing-clock-kit... I will pick one up for my kid when she grows up :)
