Yes, they both are. But they are also both total pants, and most of the time several seconds off, as they don’t sync regularly enough. I’m still looking for an accurate radio controlled wall clock!
I have a digital weather station with radio clock – it does seem to have trouble locking to the sync signal on occasion, and I think it actually prefers the one in Hessen to the one in Cumbria!
I also have a Eurochron radio wrist-watch which also seems to take ages to sync, but both seem accurate once they are running properly 😉
Lovely looking working environment! I have a question!
Your workshop is immaculately clean, but my experience of polishing and machining (from motorcycles, so on a different scale) is that the mess it makes is incredible. How do you keep the dust and swarf under control? Do you ever think about having these sorts of machines in a separate room?
Ideally, yes. We only polish watch crystals, so that creates a minimum amount of dust, and it’s at the other end of the workshop. We use the polisher probably twice a month or so…
All case and bracelet polishing is outsourced.
wonderful! I enjoyed the little tour a lot!
Thanks for this little tour. Your workshop looks very clean and I also like the outside view 🙂
Hi Christian, where did you get the lathe? I can’t seem to find that make anywhere.
I bought it directly from a watchmaker in Prague. They don’t come up for sale very often, but are great little lathes!
Can you give us more detail about the lathe please. Was it new or was it Ebay? because I can’t seem to find any reference to it.
Much neater than my workshop, but then I guess it needs to be 🙂
Were both the clocks in there radio synched? One at least looked to be…

I highly recommend using time.is as your time source.
Very nice setup. Immense amount of products only second to the knowledge in how to use that equipment.
The only question I have though after watching that?
Which watch was being worn?!
My trusty Omega Constellation 564 on a nice light brown Ostrich strap!
The one with the restored dial… lovely 😉
Thanks for that Christian, very interesting.
Cookies!!!

Very jealous indeed!!!
wow, you need a lot of gear in your trade!
That was interesting. You have a very nice and logically laid-out workshop. Thanks for the tour!
