Is there anyone here that reads Clocks Magazine.

http://www.clocksmagazine.com/

A week or so I ordered the latest copy from their website and although not a very large magazine its an interesting read.

I am contemplating subscribing to it as I do not know of anything else like it and its price is quiet reasonable compared to what other magazines cost today.

Just wondering if anyone else here reads it.

I have about 80 old copies dating mostly from the 1980's I picked up at auction they are a very intresting read and contain some very informative articles , my favorite section to read is the Dairy of a clock repairer that always appeared on the last page it was by a repairer called David Swindells FBHI and dealt with the many costumers and their clocks he dealt with a very good read.

If its still on a similar format as the old copies I have then it would be well worth subscribing.

I used to buy it. I had the very first edition. I used to contribute to it and had articles published. I learned a hell of a lot from that magazine. I remember David Swindells Diary of a clock repairer. Another that was very interesting was Laurie Penman, very knowledgeable person when it came to Longcase Clocks

    • people be honest.... Swatch is evil for the watchmakers and repairers, BUT not everything in watches from Switzerland is from the Swatch-Group. As far as i know, Selitta got sacked by Swatch as a Movement-Assembler for them and they started to produce Movements in their own Name with slight Modifications. As far as i know, they sell Parts to the Market for their Movements. In most cases, if a ETA-Movement fails, it is a valid Option to replace it with a Selitta Movement, which i consider the Solution for this Mess with the Swatch-Group...... I have no Connection to anybody at Selitta, but being a Swiss-Guy, i still like to have Swiss-Made Watches, but not from the Swatch-Group.   ok ? regards, Ernst
    • Just one more greedy act by Swatch. They started a number of years ago here in the US..cutting off supplies to watchmakers that could build complications that many Swatch houses couldn't even touch. Old school masters who had gone through some of the most prestigious houses in the world. Otto Frei has some statements on their page about it. I tell all my customers to avoid new Swiss watches like the plague,..unless they just want an older one in their collection that still has some parts out on the market, or they have really deep pockets and don't mind waiting months and paying through the nose to get it back. Plenty of others to choose from..IE Seiko,..or other non-swiss brands Even a number of Chinese brands are catching up with the Swiss,..and I think that in time, their actions will be their downfall
    • Yes. If that's not what you are experiencing...start looking for something rubbing. A 1st guess is that one of the hands is rubbing against the hole in the center of the dial. Especially if you now have lower amplitude in face up/ face down positions.
    • Once a movement has the dial and hands put back and it is recased, would you expect the assembled watch to have the same amplitude as when the movement is in a movement holder and is without hands and dial? Thanks
