Watch brands don't all make their own movements, many buy them in from specialised suppliers. Vaucher Manufacture Fleurier is one such specialist.
Check out the deconstructions on the JUST MOVEMENTS section of the website.

The Hiroshima Peace Museum has a collection of timepieces. When we were doing our Japan trip, I contacted them to see if we could photograph some of the timepieces. They said yes.
If you haven't seen it. Check it out.

I'll have to check it out, to be honest I don't keep an eye on GF, people want deconstructions of watches that are more affordable and GF has not been open to a deconstruction,I have reached out on several times. But I didn't know they had a book, I'll have to look into that.

πŸ˜‚ it's not an obligation but it is a good book. I have quite a few others I am working on as well. I hope you enjoy the others too.

I recently made a trip to a workshop that is meant to be 3 hours from my place, unfortunately the motorway was closed and 3 hours turned into 5 one way. I had turn back, unfortunately the motorway is closed for a while. I will have to find an alternative.

The Naked Watchmaker Making: COSC, (Contrôle Officiel Suisse des Chronomètres) is the official Swiss chronometer test organisation for certifying the accuracy and precision of Swiss watches.

If you are not familiar with COSC, it is an independent control. The independent part is vital.
