Dear customers and partners,

We hope that our message will find you and your loved ones healthy and in a good state of mind despite these complicated and extraordinary moments.

Like everywhere else, for days now, activities have been quite hectic as we tried to navigate through the very dynamic environment of the COVID-19 pandemic. We do not yet know the short, medium and long-term impact on our operations, but we are doing everything we can to limit the repercussions. 

We have established rules of life in our company to best protect the health of our employees, which is our main mission at the moment.
 
However, we also try to approach the situation pragmatically, striving to find the best personalised solution for all our partners.

These measures have and will continue to evolve over the next few weeks and we will do our best to guarantee service to our customers, while remaining respectful of our employees.  

We have taken important steps to ensure that our production will operate safely and in a pleasant environment. That is why, with the latest measures ordered by our federal authorities and in order to put all the chances on our side, we have taken the decision to close our company over the next 3 days, i.e. from Wednesday 18th to Friday 20th of March 2020. A detailed inspection of the common areas and a thorough preventive cleaning will be carried out, in order to guarantee the health safety of each and everyone.

COVID-19 presents a major challenge that requires the best of us and our individual and collective responsibility. Our N° 1 priority is to continue to ensure the health of all.

From Monday, March 23rd, our company will be reachable again, answering all calls and mails, as usual.

We thank you for your understanding and remain, 

With best regards

Bergeon SA

This Bloody awful scourge has us all on the back foot and we all have to take it seriously , The attitude It wont happen to me,  has got to go.    If a company like BERGEON are taking it seriously  so shall we all.        Keep safe and well  friends.

Don't create anxiety. There are about 20,000 deaths in the UK every year from the known strains of flu.

Lets wait and see and be optimistic

Here in Poland, people are all pulling together, it is a blitz spirit. I agree we must not create anxiety, lets just all care for each other and stay safe.

Looking just now at my SECR clock, he has been through far worse (two world wars) and is still ticking, and he spent his working life in Dover!

Bit of a update from the Bergeon Guys:

 Exceptional measures 
Dear customers, suppliers and partners,
 
Taking into account the evolution of the pandemic due to Covid-19 and in order to protect our collaborators as well as the fact that a majority of our customers and suppliers have decided to suspend their activities, we have taken the following decision, from Monday, March 30 and until Friday, April 10, 2020 in the first instance:
  • Reduction in working hours for the majority of our employees
  • We continue to strictly apply the hygiene rules of the OFSP within our premises and privileged teleworking for our employees
  • We are suspending the reception and shipment of goods. This measure will be reassessed regularly.
  • In order to be able to respond to your requests, the various sectors can be contacted via email [email protected]  or by the usual direct addresses.
  • Our website www.bergeon.ch  will provide you with all the useful information and our online store remains at your disposal.
 The gradual resumption of activities is scheduled for Monday, April 13, 2020. This date may be postponed depending on the development of the situation, the priority being to preserve the health of our employees and their families.
 
Thank you for your understanding and in the meantime take care of yourself and your loved ones.
 
With our Best regards,
 
Bergeon SA
The Management

      In the meantime whilst awaiting a better plan, please drop me a quick hello on my email.

      I looked at it like this, I've built a lot of stuff in my time, building structures and furniture,those are my creations and they will still be here way way after I'm gone. Traditional watchmakers felt the need to pass their knowledge on, ideas that they created . I assume with them as it is with me, leaving their mark on the earth, a way of being remembered. This creation of Mark's has brought thousands of people together to pass their knowledge around,  ideas that will continue to be used for lifetimes. Ideas that should continue to be procured. If for whatever reason the forum ceased to exist, not quite like Ranfft's, that didn't disappear but much less usable. Then that is sad, such a massive loss of communication between good people and a wealth of knowledge lost. There should be something in place for when that happens which could be next week, next year or in 10 years. Might not be a topical subject for a lot of folk or boardering on controversy, i did say i talk about stuff other people dont. But if you dont talk about it and something happens then you've lost it and you ain't gonna fix it .

      I've remained silent on this thread, and at the risk of upsetting everyone, the thing that worries me the most the the apparent absence of Mark. The moderators do a great job and the members also pitch in, and the site seems to run itself, but it is a concern for the future of this forum when the owner is absent for all intents and purposes. Like many of the comments above I would hate to log in one day and things be closed down as I rely on this site for ideas and knowledge and also cheer me up. maybe the Moderators could reach out to him, assuming he does not read this thread, and express our concerns and let us know the plans going forward? some kind of WRT ark

      That was the exact reason for me starting this thread watchie. Still we haven't worked out how the regulars are going to hook up if it goes tits up. I honestly think something should be arranged to stay in contact, we all help each other so much.

      Yeah ive watched that a few times before,  i couldnt find my old school dividers to scribe it up 😅 Yep thats the guy i bought a roll from . Thanks Nicklesilver that answers that perfectly and more or less what i thought an experiment over time would prove . The jumper arm is quite thick along its length, i left it that way intentionally, i thought the original was probably very thin, i didnt see that it was already missing. Setting isn't particularly stiff as such just positive, i still need to take it out and polish where it mates with the stem release.
