Welcome by
Artifex-Babel!

This is a creative workshop. My credo is to seek and develop.

A mechanical watch is an amazing combination of physics and lyrics, watchmaking is an art in technics, and watchmakers are creative engineers engaged in the construction and engineering, drawing and design, manufacturing and ennobling, or, more simply, the birth of this mechanical miracle where the first-born becomes a prototype.

To make a watch is a very painstaking and long-lasting affair. The main quality of the clockwork is accuracy. For the manufacture of clock gears, pinions, bolts, bridges, etc are needed exact machines and tools. Watchmaker's park is more than varied. Lathe and milling machine, CNC equipment, coordinate drilling machine, muffle furnace, including measuring instruments and optical devices.

The choice of materials for making watches is also varied. An important condition is that the watch should be precise and reliable. This steel, brass, bronze, gold, silver, wood, bone, mother of pearl, stone and others. For the aesthetics of clockwork, I use intarsia, wood carving, bone carving, stone carving, casting and others.

"The practical teacher knows that only conscientious fulfillment of the task can save an apprentice from some foolery that are chronically committed. Wherever there is the slightest chance for stupidity, there they will do it, sooner or later, but definitely they will do it anyway."
Alfred Helwig, teacher at the German watchmakers' school
