It's easy to send a screw or spring flying across the room, never to be found again! I really have a great appreciation and respect for anyone who can work on watches. So many things can go wrong, it takes an incredible amount of finesse to get things right.
Classes are held in different locations around the country:

I remember starting in watchmaking school with that caliber! I also remember seeing the higher years working on a Valjoux 7750, and thinking I would never be able to put all those parts back together!! But it all makes sense, so it isn't that hard once you understand the mechanism.
Luckily I have a very steady hand!
