2024 November Meeting


7th November 2024

Gordon Hoare

‘The Idiosyncrasies of working on Chronometers’.

He has been lucky to have the support of expert chronometer craftsmen. When starting on chronometers he was given support by Robin Thatcher and later when suffering Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, cleaning one of his chronometer balances, the jewels fell out when the shellac failed. Roger Stephenson came to the rescue and expertly tutored him putting the jewels back into their rightful places. Gordon wishes to share some of the idiosyncrasies and problems he has experienced while working on and maintaining his collection of chronometers and will bring along some examples for us to admire.
