What was your first job? I received my training in Denmark. I began with scientific instruments and clocks in a museum. We also worked on the Royal Collection, which included watches. After four years of working in the museum, I decided to learn to make these pieces. Since we don't manufacture watches in Denmark I moved to Switzerland to work in a prototype workshop where I built every part of each watch. Keep antique watches in working order? The majority of pieces in our museum are in excellent condition. Therefore, a large part of my work is to preserve them. The pieces can last a lifetime if they are maintained properly, which means changing the oil regularly and performing the regular maintenance. How can you tell the age of a piece if it is not dated? Certain innovations can tell you the time period of a piece. If it's made with a certain technique, then it dates from that period. The majority of pieces are dated by a watchmaker or case maker. We can also date them by looking at the logo on the precious metal (Calibre De Cartier Replica). I've never had a problem determining the age of an item, at least in the last 50 years. Different styles fit certain epochs. What is your favourite timepiece at the museum? Albert Potter was an American watchmaker who moved to Switzerland at the end 19th century to work. He combined the American and Swiss traditions. We have a Constant Force chronometer from 1893. What is your favorite piece in the Grand Exhibition? The watch I love is from William Anthony in England. It's an oval with hands that extend and adjust to the dial width as it moves around. One of the most interesting watches is the pocket-watch with a secular clock, which is based on the "400-year rule" (full century leap years are only possible if they can be divided by 400 without remainder).Omega Replica This means that this watch will be the only one to jump from February 28th to March 1st in 2100. All other perpetual calendars would turn to February 29, and will need to be adjusted.
