Craft-A-Clock Workshop

Learn what makes a clock tick-tock and then take it home!

Description: In this workshop, participants will assemble a clock and learn what’s behind the dial of a time-only clock movement. The movements used in this course are skeletonized, allowing participants to see inside the clock to better understand how it works when it’s running. Participants will learn basic terms and become familiar with the clock’s fundamental parts. They will learn how a clock works by assembling the clock, lubricating it, and putting it into beat, so the satisfying tick-tock is heard! Once the workshop is finished, each participant will take home the clock they crafted.

To celebrate the holiday season, a parent and child can share a bench for one flat registration fee! Please indicate if you are bringing a child when registering, or email education@nawcc.org.

Tools and Materials: All tools and materials will be provided, including a new Hermle Lakin or Mikal clock. There are three colors to choose from: red, blue, and gold. Selection of color and model is first come, first served, and there are limited quantities for each color. Be sure to contact education@nawcc.org after you have registered for the workshop to select your color.

At this time there is 1 gold Lakin, 1 red Lakin, and there are 12 blue Mikal clocks available to choose from. The plates and trains of these two clocks are identical; the only difference is the number of columns that make up the case. Lakin clocks have three posts and a triangular profile, whereas Mikal clocks have four posts and a rectangular profile.

Please Note: The clocks used in this workshop are new. Once disassembled, the one-year warranty is voided. The School of Horology will do everything possible to ensure proper operation of the clock during and after the workshop. The School cannot be held responsible for missing, lost, or damaged parts of the clock during the workshop. Please contact education@nawcc.org if you have questions.
