Let's get the ball rolling

Before I even made the decision to start importing and selling Swiss Watchmaker’s tools, I also decided that my tool prices, whenever possible, will be at least equal to the prices of the largest US tool dealers. Not because I have money to burn or a big heart - being competitive means being
better, not equal to.

Enough talk: let’s get the ball rolling:

Bergeon Swiss made plastic tweezers, USD $4.50. My price: AUD $5. Plastic tweezers are used to handle watch batteries: obviously, you can't handle them with metal tweezers (shortcut!) or by hand (leaving a corrosive acid layer). Great tool for any work bench.

Bergeon 7024-1: Stainless steel, non-magnetic and anti-acid watchmaking tweezers. Length: 120mm. Ideal 'all around' tweezers for fine general work. From handling spring bars, bracelet pins down to gears, stems and screws. AUD $35 only.

Bergeon 7024-3 Stainless steel, non-magnetic and anti-acid. Finer tips, a typical professional tweezer priced at a hobbyist's level.

Bergeon 7025-SS Same as above but, my goodness: long (135mm), fine, slender and handsome! Think the Mercedes AMG of Swiss tweezers. AUD $48

AF Switzerland: the famous model #27. Another all-time watchmaker's
favourite. General work. Springy and sturdy, on the heavier side than 7025SS.
AUD $35

Finally a magnificent set of 8 Bergeon tweezers, Ref 7026. US price
converted to AUD: $398 + $30 delivery + $40 GST which totals to over AUD
$470.  My price: $395 plus $9 for next day delivery. GST already included in price! Yes, cheaper than in US!

Stay tuned for more tools soon.

The best investment I ever made

I bought my first Rolex case opener tool from Smith & Smith at 149 Castlereagh St in 1995 for $240.95 which was $40 more than the weekly rent for a brand new 2 bedroom unit.  It was a Bergeon Ref. 5537 which is still as good as new and we use it daily. That single tool has made me thousands - perhaps hundreds of thousands of dollars - and was the best investment I've ever made.



The Bergeon case opener for Rolex watches ref. 5537 is once again available in Castlereagh Street - for your pleasure.  I'll sell you the tool, you write your own history.

The easiest thing ever - the only tool you will ever need to adjust your Rolex bracelet


On almost all Rolex Oyster bracelets the bracelet links are held together with a simple screw and if you have the right size screwdriver, shaped correctly, you should be able to remove your links easily. 


For Jubilee models the correct size is 1.4mm.

https://shop.clockmaker.com.au/home/110-bergeon-screwdriver-14mm-ref-30080-06.html

For Oyster sports models the correct size is 1.6mm.

https://shop.clockmaker.com.au/home/111-bergeon-screwdriver-16mm-ref-30080-07.html

$18 each

The screw drivers are Swiss-made, top quality Bergeon.  An essential tool for any Rolex owner and, if you will allow me to, at no extra cost I will reshape your screw driver's blade for the job, to perfectly fit the Rolex screw. 


It takes (at least) two



Vacuum part holding: in-house work holding design

Our Kern Pyramid Nano was a custom built machine: the vacuum holding was added on as a special 'watchmaking' accessory. And, until now, we simply had no need to use it.  However, for the past couple of months Josh has been 'secretly' working on a vacuum fixture prototype which he showed me today. I got a lesson on air/oil separation, a Kern custom built compressor and pump, the new 9 mainplate holder - down to asymmetric seal. The first prototype is working fine, and he is now ready to scale it up. 

I've learned a lot – and, once again, it was obvious that neither a watchmaker nor a machinist can make a watch. It is a collaboration and collective effort of two completely different trades and tradesmen that creates a little miracle of mechanical engineering. 

Life is not fair: it is always the watchmaker who takes the credit for it all; it is his name on the dial - where a great deal of credit should really go to the clever, hard-working CNC machinist behind the scene. 

Congrats to all machinists - be proud and keep working hard- you are priceless!




Made in vs. Manufactured in?

Last week we got couple of emails from subscribers wondering why we don't sign our watches as 'Made in Australia'? After all, there are at least 3 other watch brands who do exactly that. And, in addition, 'manufactured' is neither as powerful nor as common to the average watch buyer.

The answer is simple: 'Made in Australia' has lost its relevance and true meaning a few years ago when the Government outsourced the management of the accreditation process to a non-Government agency.   You can import a 100% assembled watch from China to Australia, fit in a battery and strap with a $5 tool on your kitchen bench, and apply for the Made in Australia label. It's a joke.

We prefer to stick with the facts. Manufactured in Australia means that a number of crucial components in our watch have been designed, manufactured, hand finished and assembled in our own workshop. And if this is not impressive enough: we even design and manufacture our own tools and work holdings.

Our customers are not gullible newcomers to horology but knowledgeable enthusiasts who can tell the difference between cheap imitations and the real deal.  "By their fruits you will know them; thorn bushes do not bear grapes, and briers do not bear figs" - or as a modern translation puts it: "you will know them by what they produce".

The second most intimate watchmaker's tool: screwdrivers


Screwdriver blade - before and after polishing

Today our focus is on screwdrivers - the second most intimate watchmaker’s tool. (We'll talk about THE MOST intimate tool some other time).


What is the big deal?

1. Your mechanical watch contains at least a dozen different screws. They vary in size, shape and purpose. The range of screw sizes found in a typical watch goes from 0.50mm to 3mm so your set should contain all sizes.

            

How To Use Screwdriver

2. The width of the screw head slot varies greatly from calibre to calibre.  Therefore, before disassembly can commence, the screwdriver’s blade must be shaped to fit the exact screw slot.

3. Blades are made of hardened carbon steel, and even with utmost care, they can chip. Being able to restore them to new condition is essential.

4. Using an incorrect screwdriver blade will cause permanent and often irreversible damage to screws. This is a sign of extremely poor craftsmanship. This is why properly trained apprentices spend weeks learning how to perfectly shape and sharpen screwdrivers - before they even attempt their first disassembly.

Bottom line: if you just bought a fine Bergeon or AF screwdriver set but don't know how to shape and sharpen your screwdrivers - you've made an amateur mistake.

Good news: here is what you need to do:

- Get yourself a proper, genuine Swiss made screwdriver's sharpening tool.
We sell Bergeon sharpening tool Ref. 2461
 https://shop.clockmaker.com.au/home/112-bergeon-screwdriver-sharpener-ref-2461.html

- Get a fine polishing stone OR 3M lapping film sheet in a range of grades
https://shop.clockmaker.com.au/14-polish-clean
While a polishing stone is traditionally the abrasive of choice, my suggestion is to go for 3M lapping/polishing abrasive sheets. This is a cost saving solution, a practical and quick alternative to stones. The sheets come in a variety of grades (40 microns down to 1 micron, even as fine as 0.05 micron!. Some of the lapping 3M sheets are used in optical, electronic and other industries and are considered a military strategic product, not available to the general public. Getting the sheets imported to Australia from the US took 3 months, plenty of frustration and considerable cost, but we are pleased to be able to offer the 3M sheets to our customers at just $9 per sheet, GST included.

We use 3M daily - not just for screwdrivers but for anything - from deburring to screw head polishing. It is also a popular choice for knife blade polishing.

In stock: grades 40/30/12/9/3/1/0.05 micron, A4 sheet size. The sheets come with PSA (pressure sensitive adhesive) so they can be glued on perspex/glass plates.

What is the best size for you? That would depend on the application. We have 'developed' our own board consisting of 6 stripes (20 x 3cm) of various grades, to be used with a Bergeon screwdriver roller. Only $19.
Available at:  https://shop.clockmaker.com.au/home/163-watchmaker-screwdriver-sharpening-board.html

3M film is not just your ordinarily 'sand paper' - it can be cleaned and will last you for a very long time, even if used daily.

The Banjo Paterson Test


The $10 Australian polymer note bears the portrait of Banjo - and makes a perfect tester for the mirror finish of our screws. When Banjo is placed under a certain angle over the perfectly hand-polished screws, one can see the reflection of his country house with the windmill. "Land of plenty, land of one".


As you already know: our Australian manufactured screws are designed, machined, deburred, hardened, hand polished and tempered in Brookvale.

If I only had an opportunity

Such a familiar saying, so little substance behind it. A lame excuse.  Actually for those who look for them, opportunities are everywhere and plentiful. The problem is that we are impatient to pursue small ones. But those small opportunities are to be chased because they will grow into big ones.

Manufacturing a prototype part is a tricky business because your customer wants it all: fast, cheap and the best possible quality. There is simply no money in it. Yet for a young machinist such jobs are a great opportunity to make their name. If you can do jobs no-one else can or wants to do, soon you will be known as the 'to go to' man. The word will spread and sooner or later, once you become an undisputed expert in your field, you will be ready for big opportunities.

The other day another desperate customer knocked on our door. He urgently needed two custom made parts. To say that we underestimated the amount of work needed to turn the parts would be an understatement in itself.  Josh ended up making $10 per hour. But we delivered on time, exceeding the quality and spot on with tolerances.  The customer was so impressed that he immediately sent more drawings for more challenging parts.

Can we compete with China?  No, not today.  But one day, all those Australian manufacturers who either subcontracted jobs to China - or built their own factories there to save a dollar or two - will realise what a mistake that was.

The first and only watch manufactured in Australia


No time for fake modesty:  facts only. We are proud and we are celebrating.

No matter whether you are a supporter, believer, dreamer or just a casual onlooker: NH1 is the watch which will be forever remembered as the first Australian wristwatch containing Australian manufactured watch movement components. Dare I say: this is the watch that will be one day highly sought after, a watch which will attract a premium; a timepiece of investment quality to be remembered and talked about in years to come.

Yes, there will be other watchmakers trying to make their mark, and no doubt, one day we won't call ourselves 'the only' .  But NH1 will always remain 'El Primero'.

The assembly is going slower than originally anticipated but hand finishing, jewelling, adjustment and casing cannot be rushed. Here, in our city workshop, Andrew is my right hand; without his help it would take even longer to complete this first batch. Josh is still machining the last few components so he spends his days in Brookvale, working on his own.  Young Michael (I call him Bob) is irreplaceable when it comes to screw polishing: it takes 10 minutes to polish just one screw to mirror finish - and he often spends 6 hours a day just doing that.

The completed watches are tuned with a great deal of pride. We try to squeeze out every second out of that watch heart, and we are extremely proud of the timekeeping abilities of NH1. The full credit for that goes to precision milling as well as work-holding tools - designed and manufactured in our own workshop.

Here is just one detail worth mentioning: the electricity bill to run the Kern mill alone is over $2,000 per month! The beast sucks 60 Amps per phase and, once turned on, it runs for days - machining parts or not. The warm up period is 4 hours before any watch component can be machined to the accuracy required. The air compressor and two cooling units generate so much heat that most of the machining is done from sunset to sunrise.

I have no doubt that NH1 will be judged on watch forums and Facebook groups by its external appearance, the dial style or case size. But such 'reviews' will miss the point completely.  Manufactured in Australia has really very little to do with appearance: the real substance and value is in what has gone on behind the scenes. And this is why NH1 will always remain a watch for a sophisticated, true watch enthusiast.

As I type this, 18 out of 25 watches have been reserved and paid for in full. Two pieces will remain in our own collection and 5 watches are still available for sale: numbers 16, 17, 19, 23 and 24.
The price is $6,000 plus GST.  Delivery time:  4 weeks.

Case signed: Ti Hxx/25, titanium, 45mm
Movement: NH1, manual wind.
Strap : bespoke kangaroo
Dial signed: Manufactured in Australia as a reference to the number of internal watch components designed and manufactured in our Sydney workshop.

The Caped Crusader & The Boy Wonder - a powerful duo



So which Town Talk polishing cloth works best for gold and steel?

Well, we can only recommend the one we use and that's the amazing anti-tarnish dual gold polishing cloth.  This is a massive 45 x 30cms monster cloth. 

This brilliant product is a powerful duo - much like Batman and his eager-to-please sidekick Robin...with the gold polishing cloth made of 100% cotton and impregnated with jewellers' rouge and anti-tarnish agents, while the cotton cloth acts as a soft cotton duster.  Alone they are pretty powerful but have them work together and that's where the magic happens.

As you polish with the pink cloth, you will notice the cloth will start removing all the dirt and tarnish from your gold items.  Then the yellow cloth will buff your gold to a shimmering finish. 




KAPOW!  But don't take my word for it.  Try it yourself!

Just $17 from our online store: 
https://shop.clockmaker.com.au/home/66-dual-gold-polishing-cloth-30-x-45cm.html


The mighty Petit Pierre



"How much is this screwdriver?" - he asked, pointing at a Bergeon single pack masterpiece.
"Eighteen".
"How much?"
"Eighteen dollars".
"No, this single screw,  how much is it?"
At that point I thought that he simply could not hear me .
"EIGHTEEN.  ONE-EIGHT!"
"Dollar eighty, that's not bad".
"No, it's NOT a dollar eighty, what can you buy nowadays for a dollar eighty? Certainly not a professional Swiss made tool! It is $18. Which is actually less than what they sell for on eBay!"

He didn't say anything. Instead he bought a set of five Bergeon screwdrivers, as well as tweezers and some other tools.

When I promised the other day that old fashioned 1950s' experience I meant customer service, not 1950s’ prices.  Luckily our supporters are wonderful people, and getting adjusted to millennial prices is just a matter of education.   And when it comes to it, I am the first one to admit how little I know about horological roads less travelled.

Here are two examples.
 
If you asked me yesterday what is the most expensive Bergeon screwdriver, I would have said probably some $50 torque driver. And that guess would be so embarrassingly wrong because the Bergeon Ref. 7965 set of 10 Tork Speed drivers goes for a cool $5,700 Aussie dollars. That is $570 per single screwdriver!

Still not shocked?
How about roughly $12,000 for a set of 10 Petit Pierre screwdrivers? And that is $12K at wholesale price, to a dealer! By the time a single piece is brought into Sydney, it would have to retail at around $1,500 plus GST. Just one single driver.
 
By the way, Petit Pierre was founded in 1973 as a manufacturer of specialised machines for the micro technology industry with great watchmaking experience (movement assembly side). The company is located in the village of Cortaillod, on the Neuchatel Lake, Switzerland. Population: 4,774 spread over the vast land area of 3.67 square kilometres...

"Wow, I am going to buy one PP, just for bragging rights" I told Josh last night.
"No, you aren't. But I'll get you a complete set once you make your first tourbillon" - he generously replied.

Fair enough - horses for courses.
As with anything, dream big but let time do its magic. Patience, mon ami!

The talk of the town


For over 100 years a gleeful, eager to please butler wearing a top hat has been synonymous with a fresh sparkling home.

In truth, the butler was a Lancashire gentleman with a passion for silverware.  With an abundance of local, soft Pennine water, and top quality, locally-milled cotton at his fingertips, he set to work to create ingenious ways to polish and clean the very finest of Victorian silver.  Of particular note was his inventive silver polishing cloth which contained a unique combination of silver polishing liquid and local cotton.

With much Victorian fanfare his silver cloth became "the talk of the town" and, so, the Town Talk Polish Company was born in 1895.  As Town Talk became more well-known a talented artist developed the iconic animated image of Mr Town Talk. Practical, reliable, ready to help at the drop of a hat, he continues to represent this fascinating company's values, as well as the highest quality cleaning products for the most beautiful of treasures.

An incredible 124 years later, the Town Talk silver polishing cloth is still considered to be one of the finest available in the world today.

We are proud to be official stockists of not less than 14 Town Talk products and, quite frankly, dealing with the British has proven to be a lot more exciting than dealing with the Swiss.

If you ever need any polishing cloths for watches, silver, gold, glass, spectacles, smartphones or even Ipads, pop into our shop or go online and order on our store at https://shop.clockmaker.com.au/14-polish-clean

Hint:  Any of our Town Talk items would make the perfect gift.                       

Fake Bergeon tools


Oscar Wilde famously said that 'imitation is the sincerest form of flattery that mediocrity can pay to greatness.' I disagree: commercial imitation is simply a crime.

The other day I compared Bergeon tools with Patek watches.  Indeed there are countless similarities between the two brands. And one of them is that both are commonly faked.

So here is the question: how can you tell if a tool is genuine Bergeon or a cheap replica? As it is the case with watches - you don't buy a watch, you buy a seller.  The dead giveaways are : low price, lack of original packaging material, missing reference or serial numbers, poor quality and so on.
While from a constructional side a fake tool may look similar to genuine, it will always lack the performance of a quality, well-made, genuine tool.

What amazes me the most is the blatant 'co-branding' where fakers will stamp a tool with both 'Bergeon' and their own brand name. This is a typical Chinese practice - a sign of 'technological patriotism' with clear message: look at us, we can make a tool as good as Swiss, at a fraction of the price, and we don't give a damn about international copyright laws.

While I am an open-minded person, keen to try and review any tool by any maker, regardless of the country of origin,  double-branding seriously puts me off.

And just to make this clear: The Swiss often play the same game: happily re-branding Chinese watch parts, and even some tools, as being made in Switzerland.

Pictured on top: a cheap and nasty movement holder replica; Tianjiu fake Bergeon, and a genuine Bergeon holder. Tianjiu is taking the blatant fakery to the 'next level' by ripping off Bergeon's trademark packaging, colours, description in four languages, reference numbers down to product specifications.

The Bergeon reversible watch movement holder comes in two sizes: 3 3/4-11mm (4039) and 8 3/4-19mm (4040). Another essential aid, unchanged in design for over 100 years and made to last forever.

4.  Bergeon Screwdriver Blade Sharpener

Nothing will crash your spirit like a chipped or twisted blade on a new Bergeon screwdriver. But worry not! Screwdriver blades can be easily re-shaped and sharpened with the appropriate tool. Bergeon 2461 is an
absolute MUST. I'll talk about it tomorrow, but if you are placing an order for any screwdrivers and wish to learn how to sharpen them like a pro – then you need this tool. Don't be fooled with cheap Chinese and Indian fake
Bergeon replicas commonly found on eBay!

Our price is $48 for a genuine Bergeon.
