In 2006 the "Credor Spring Drive Sonnerie”, Japan's first highly complicated watch is released.

This was the first deconstruction that was fully photographed by me. I'm still happy how it came out. Check it out.

I tried to find a Corum page but couldn't find it. So decided to share it here.

This is EPIC Corum.

Take a closer look at the Octo Finissimo Tourbillon Calibre BVL268

You can find Bvlgari in the Decons / Established brands section.

So I posted this tool but without an explanation of what it was for, it's A balance spring vibrating tool. The balance shown under the glass crystal would oscillate at a defined frequency. A watchmaker would then regulate the length of a new balance spring associated to a balance assembly using the lower balance as a reference before placing his balance into a watch. He or she would slowly reduce the length of the balance spring being supported by the upper tweezer like fingers until the the new balance was oscillating in harmony with the lower master balance assembly.

For anyone who really likes everything to do with watches.

This is part off a private collection by an old man who spent his life picking up old tools that were being thrown out because they were obsolete in the industry. He would pick them up and take them home and leave them in his garage with the intension that once he retired he'd fix them up. He retired and did just that. They are going into a museum soon.

If you've never heard of him, you need to look him up.

This is a prototype and an explanation of the journey to this timepiece.
