People looking to get their groove on repairing clocks, repairing pocket watches and/or repairing wristwatches have another "Watch Repair Course" to chose from. I stumbled across Tascione.com and watched what they covered. He covers a lot while explaining the processes clearly and up close shots of the task.You don't only get DVDs, you actually get more, but the tools, watch bench and everything in between is on you to purchase.
By the time I was 28 I'd accumulated enough machinery (bridgeports, lathes etc.) to begin a small tool design and fabrication business of my own. But throughout this period my true passion for watches and clocks never diminished. I'd been restoring watches the whole time, studying anything technical I could get my hands on. The brilliant contributions of the great masters Brequet, Harrison etc. dazzeled and humbled me at the same time. I began restoring fusees, repeaters and chronometers during this period. By the time I'd reached 30 I was able to make any parts I needed for watches and clocks and had designed, built and sold several skeleton clocks.
From 1990 on, I began concentrating more on trying to help beginning and intermediate watchmakers get past the most common obstacles encountered while learning watch repair. I realized that the next best thing to having a qualified watchmaker sitting at the same bench with a student was to use videos. That first video became the beginning of the Tascione Watch Repair Course.
