Mini Clock Project Complete!

As part of the BA Horology course at Birmingham School of Jewellery we make components for a "Mini Clock".  The clock is not intended to be completed and to run, but valuable experience is gained by making each of the components that would go to make up a real clock.

With the addition of a Recoil Escapement the mini clock is now complete and we move on to other projects.
The pallets for the Recoil Escapement polished before hardening
The pallets after hardening - it took a lot of work to get the polish back!


The completed Mini Clock!



BHI Exam - Seems it was worth the effort after all...

The results came through a while ago but I managed to win a prize!

Congratulations to Rosie Kirk and Andrew Glover who also studied at Birmingham School of Jewellery!
