See my bench in action

It’s fun to showcase the bench

Every timepiece arrives with a story. Its condition on arrival, inspection and diagnosis, parts found or made, then cleaning, assembly, lubrication and testing. We also like to look into the timepieces a bit and often include existing research about your clock’s movement and maker. We offer a paid research service as well, you will get a printed color report of the work completed on your timepiece along with any historical information we can find on the piece.

Browse them out of curiosity, as a reference if you’re working on something similar, or to see how your own timepiece would be cared for.

Every page below was made with Bench Buddy. It’s the free app I built to run my bench. As I work, it captures photos, video and narrated notes, then publishes the finished job straight to this site. If you work on clocks or watches yourself, your bench can do the same.
