I made a replacement push button for Tag Chrono.

I just recently made a replacement push button for Tag Heuer Chronograph because this part is hard-to-find and the key to these successful job is my two lathe machines, the watchmakers lathe and my mini lathe. The material that I prefered to use is a stainless crown seen in picture and made a special cutter to cut the inside of the crown that will make it fit the Tag case tube. I also made a special attachment so that my small collets could be used with my mini lathe. A perfect idea that without this tools I could have not done this difficult  repair.

In this last two pictures, can you tell which one is the replacement that I made?

Making my own collet.

When my new mini lathe arrived one of the project that I've tried is the making of my own collet for my watchmakers lathe. Here you can see in the pictures from start to finish.

This is how it looks now.

A concrete pre cast serves as a bezel (as for a wristwatch) around the dial of the clock was added. Painting is not yet finished and some plants and trees were also planted around the tower.

MY NEWEST TOWER CLOCK INSTALLATION

Here are the pictures of my latest clock installation at CHATEAUX DE PARIS ROTUNDA in Silang Cavite. The size is 1.5m wide with backlit dial with night time controller.

My awards

Here are the two awards that I received when two organizations recognized my effort to uplift the lives of my fellow watchmakers through my teachings and my own version of local watch testers. At the left side was a commendation trophy for meritorious achievements as Filipino product awarded to me by NEPA (National Economic Protectionism Association) in November 19, 1993. The other one at the right is an award given to me as "Inventor of the Year 2003" and the engraving says "For improving the manufacture, production and popularization of locally-made materials in the making and repair of watches, and for the technical services he provides to the growing local watch-making industry, and this evidently underscores his exemplary contribution to applied sciences." The award was given to me during the "10th Night of the Leading Top Ten Ceremony in December 30, 2003 at Silangan Hall, Cultural Center of the Philippines.

My first indoor giant clock.

I have almost finished working with my new design of indoor giant clock movement and this movement is going to be housed in a frame made of quality wood with an antique design of dial. The size of this clock is 90cm in diameter and the hands are made of aluminum while the movement is all brass and steel. From the past I have installed tower clocks from 1 meter up to 4 meters wide and the movement that I used is really huge and heavy duty and this is the first time that I made smaller movement intended for big hotel lobby, hall, stadium and others.
I have also made my own special cutter to cut the size of gear teeth I need just like in the picture shown.
