SUMMARY:Mill Talk: Inside a Waltham pocket watch — How it works and why.
DESCRIPTION:Step inside the intricate world of fine watchmaking with Waltham’s own Chris Carey\, watchmaker and owner of Watertown Watch and Clock. In this live demonstration\, Chris will carefully disassemble a Waltham Model 1908 pocket watch\, revealing the artistry\, engineering\, and precision that made Waltham a world leader in timekeeping. \nAs he takes the watch apart piece by piece\, Chris will explain how each component functions\, what makes it essential\, and how Waltham’s innovations compared with those of earlier and later American\, Swiss\, and English timepieces. Through detailed visuals and hands-on examples\, attendees will gain a rare\, close-up look at the mechanical heart of a Waltham watch—and a deeper appreciation for the craftsmanship and ingenuity that powered the city’s historic watch industry. \nCarey was taught watch repair as a boy by his grandfather\, Pat Caruso\, a watchmaker at Waltham Watch Company. In 1993 he opened his own clock and watch repair shop\, Watertown Watch and Clock\, and now operates the shop with his wife\, Christine\, in Waltham. He has served as the secretary of the American Watchmakers-Clockmakers Institute (AWCI)\, he is the chairman of the board of the Massachusetts Watchmakers-Clockmakers Association\, and is past president of NAWCC New England Chapter 8. \nThis event is free\, but registration is required.
