Future meeting agenda – Bob plans to present a demonstration on clock repivoting at the June 28 meeting. The 1st July meeting will be dedicated to watch related issues. Please e-mail Bob with any watch topics you would like covered during the July meeting.
In closing, Bob invited all club members to attend
the NWACC chapter 141 picnic as his guest. The picnic will be held on June 27
at Bob’s house. If you plan to attend, please provide Bob with a head count.
A discussion was led by Zareh on the process and
merits of AWCI’s policy for certifying watchmakers for the 21st century (CW21). In summation, the high grade watch manufacturers want their watches repaired only by technicians, and in
facilities that meet their established factory standards. Without their approval
the repairer will not be able to obtain genuine factory parts.
The door prize was won by Dan Spath.
Our next meeting is scheduled for June 28 at the
Howard County Senior Center.
Respectfully submitted,
LeRoy Roberts
