gasebah Posted March 4, 2017 Report Share Posted March 4, 2017 There is a new course online form Christian Laas. Christian is a watchmaker at Patek and is preparing these courses in his off time. It covers the Valjoux V72 but takes detours to other classics like 7734. I did the watchmaking 101 course from Christian and was very delighted as I mentioned a few times. There are some great videos as teasers which you can watch without buying the course. I know that this may sound like an ad but I am in no way connected to Christian other than being a happy customer. Take a look at: learnwatchmaking.com I will buy the course once I have a few days off as I want to have the appropriate time and patience to do it. Just to add that Christian giving his profession and occupation at Patek is obviously no friend of reps and frankens. So if you communicate with him better don't mention it.

kernow Posted March 4, 2017 Report Share Posted March 4, 2017 I've always wanted to do something along these lines - well I guess to start with a non chrono, but never have the time (or probably the patience either). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well if you like classic vintage chronos it might be worth to have look at the free preview videos anyway. He basically explains the whole system and how the parts work together.

kernow Posted March 4, 2017 Report Share Posted March 4, 2017 Ok thanks. I'll have a look Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jigelow Posted March 4, 2017 Report Share Posted March 4, 2017 I have a 2894 that needs servicing, but I feel this won't touch on that. Im confident tearing in to 2824s and 3135s, but realize chronos are an entirely different beast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was more thinking out loud. Still sounds like a worthwhile crash course. Thanks for sharing it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
