2025 Workshops & Programs



Workshops & Programs



Demonstrations: On Saturday morning, bring your watch or clock to hands-on workshops and learn about clock and watch repair techniques. The demonstrations are open to the public. The workshops will cover common watch and clock repairs. Repairs require a range of skills and tools, but many of the workshops will focus on repairs and routine maintenance that can be performed with limited horological experience and common tools. The workshops will also help you identify the correct repair tools whether you are just learning the trade or are an advanced repair person.
