Those who have completed the requirements of Watchmaking may expect to move faster
through this program. The student learns to disassemble, clean, lubricate, and assemble
several different clocks. Repairs are taught on several different clocks (chime,
cuckoo, striking, alarm and electric). Repairing mainsprings, missing or broken teeth
in gears, lathe work, re-pivoting and re-tooling wheels and brushing work are some of
the additional topics covered. Adjustments and repairs are also taught on the clocks
previously mentioned as well as grandfather clocks. When finished a graduate can
enjoy the results of their labor in making clock owners happy as they enjoy their
heirloom clock. Several graduates have successfully opened their own specialized
clock repair shops.
