Anyone who is interested in the 'watchmaking' aspect of our hobby, a few amateurs (including me) have posted little movies/photos of our workspaces, tools and stuff over in the watchmaking forum.

Show your space

Anyone who wants to contribute theirs - please come over and do so. Its useful to share ideas, setups and maybe a little inspiration.

Hi K,

The 'watchmaking' forum is somewhere I have not really ventured as yet!!

But, I think over the coming year, it will be somewhere I need to visit.... still missing a few bits before I can service a watch fully. Just have not had the time - too much buying!!

Just been on the link and great to see all the equipment you guys own, its a shame mine all fits in one draw lol

I posted this three years ago... the room has since filled up with so much stuff it got to the point where it was difficult to work in so it is now 'down for rehabilitation' (rehab get triggered when I start using the floor to 'temporarily' store stuff... I'm on my second rehab).

Things I learned: the paint on the floor wears off... the collection now needs security so the door is now 'difficult' to force (substantial reinforcement with multiple locks) and most of the watches are locked in a fireproof cabinet... a good organization on the tools is vital... don't store anything in the room you don't have to... lighting is critical... tabletop space is important and it needs to be height adjustable (somehow - I use drafting tables now).

Hummmm..... I guess I should have posted this in Watchmaking. Ok...
