(Login bernardcheong ) The milling machine (2 of 3) January 17 2005, 1:20 AM
The machine will allow Volker much more independance and flexibility in his work...
Here it is finally settled down.

As before, it is really fantastic to see the work of one man...building a watch up...even creating the case and the tiny numerals....follow the old posts in the archives under Volker Vsykocil.
Here is the workshop with the latest mill added.
The markers being made...
Inspite of so many stools and chairs you see...Volker works alone.

It is always interesting to see where these guys - and I would be happy to see gals as well if there are any out there - work.

(Login bernardcheong ) Custom made for Volker January 18 2005, 4:11 PM
Volker is one of the rare watchmakers who also happens to hold an engineering degree and has a huge background in mechanical engineering work before he became a watchmaker.
The machine is designed and custom made for/by him for his work.

(Login watchmaker ) Fantastic! Thanks for keeping us in the loop (or should that be loupe ;-) ) -nt January 18 2005, 4:25 PM
