Apprenticeships are learning how to use watch beds
In china, ancient times, there are solar clocks, water clocks, fire bells, copper kettle drops, etc., which can only be considered an ancient timer. There are no clocks, no clocks. By 1090, north song zhang soo-soon had set up a water-carrying cylindrical station with a structure similar to that of the modern clock, which could be known as its nostrils。
In fukuya, fujian province, there is a well-known watchmaker in the town of fuzhou. At his watch repair training course, which is more than 300 square feet, the hall is a place where apprentices come to study on a day-to-day basis, where more than 10 apprentices sit at a table and study carefully, and the master's own studios are in full swing, with a variety of clocks and landing clocks in different ages and countries, particularly in germany and switzerland. Every hour, the bell resonates, the rest of the bells revolve around, like a symphony. Next to the master's studio is his machine-processed watch bed, which contains a number of machines, which are national, swiss and german, and which many people may not know well, so don't underestimate these little carbeds, the precise parts on which the watch is made。
There's a lot of people in the lobby studying together
For more than a decade he has come here to train for clock maintenance, and for several years he has trained hundreds of watch mechanics from all over the world, many of whose students have even opened several watch shops, while the master is willing to be a hard-working gardener of “time keeper”。
Master zhang's certification of light industry
As a senior watch maintenance technician certified by the light industries federation, he has always liked clock watch since he was a child. His father was a famous local watchman. He began to learn to fix clock clocks with his father when he was 18 years old. Under his father's guidance, he took out parts such as wheeling, wheeling, hairing, gearing, etc. From the clock watch, and practiced hard basic work, gradually becoming the city's famous watchsmith。
Master is fixing the german landing clock
The master loved the industry and, in order to keep up with the times, he went to switzerland to study the use of watch beds, so that he could process some parts for which he could not buy, some of which were affordable, and customers often gave up repairs because of the high cost of maintenance, so that the customer could be given a second choice by adding one of his own parts, which would save the customer considerable expenses。
He was often immersed in his own watch world, with his head down, his left hand holding a palette, his right hand holding a sharpened twirl flatly and with care ... How many clocks have been repaired so far, and the master has been unable to remember, but he is like jane, who talks about the basic structure of the clock, from the original movement of the watch to the kinetic speed and pointer system, where each system works together. He said that there are more than 180 parts of a fully automatic mechanical watch, each of which is of different utility, and that he needs to know their mechanics individually. The watch repair is a very delicate exercise, the inside of which is extremely complex, and the watchman, in addition to having a delicate hair, needs more peace of mind, and if the movements on his hands were to slip slightly, it could damage the original core structure。
A watch is fixed for three or five minutes and long for days. In order to ensure that there are no further problems with the watch, the master usually does not immediately return the watch to the customer, but also takes it through walk-through tests, waterproof tests, etc., and after rigorous testing has been completed, the customer is informed to remove it。
“most of the previous repairs were shanghai watches, many of which are now import schedules, many of which are swiss and german, have hundreds of thousands of million calendars, three lists, and so, according to the master, he has never stopped exploring and studying, and has been adapting to the new watch pattern. The love for watch repair has changed from a young breadwinner to a grinding of a piece of “craft”, some of which cannot be bought, and one of which can be made from a watchbed, which is not available to many ordinary watch mechanics, many of whom are just an ordinary assembler, who replaces a bad spare with a new one, but when a very expensive watch cannot be bought, the ordinary master will have no choice but to make a part from a watchbed like ours。
With an old german humler bell, the clock was slightly yellow, and the axle of a gear was found to have broken, because the core, which had been produced by germany more than a hundred years ago, was now out of production, and it was impossible to repair it by remaking it with a watch bed。
These old clocks, filled with the mark of time, reminiscent of the passing of the years, the mind of the craftsmen, in the sound of the ticking, the heart of a craftsman. A skill, a lifetime. In retrospect, the master said that he had set up a watch repair training course in order to have a relatively professional learning environment and a truly theoretical and technical person who would pass on the spirit of the craftsmen to the generations。
