Great night at the WCA Sydney Horological Trivia night with some crazy questions. Well done team.
Great night diving into antique high grade pocket watches at the WCA meeting in Melbourne.
And a great night it was. Thanks for your time and effort in bringing these amazing timepieces down to show the WCA members and teach of there colourful past and incredible ownership.
I remember meetings at Strathfield laboratories where the once master clock for NSWGR was located. From memory the pendulum was regulated by electro magnets? I was told there was once almost thirty watch makers working in the NSWGR, now there are none. Ironic given that standard time came about because of the need to have a uniform system of time across the rail network
Unfortunately there's a lot of amateur "watchmakers" out there.
Some great fun was had at the WCA dial restoration workshop in Camden at the weekend.
Do you run them regularly? Didn't know it was on but really interested in this!
Still one of my favourite things to do.

Where was the clock in the photo made? According to the "Antique Road Show" many eary retailers put their names on the face of the clocks they sold? From memory the clock in Sydney town hall tower was made in England. I last wound it in 1959.
Can't ever remember a clock in the dashboard of a car. They must have been in upmarket cars? That the clock illustrated lasted 8 days on one windup, absorbed roadshocks and still kept good time suggests that they were a good quality clock?
Is it time to service your watch?
Yes. And I'm hunting for somebody in Brisbane familiar with Hebdomas pocket watches..... Any tips ?

Not only a new apron but by the look of it, a new oil can? Always good to see the old skills being passed onto the new generation.
Hi Darrell, nice work. New apron for the photo shoot?
