MECHANIC CLOCK: there are five well-known facts
|
1. The number of clock mechanisms in the world
is BILLIONS. This means that for each representative
of the mankind at least several clocks are available.
And on our big planet, the Earth, not to mention
the small glorious Switzerland, not a clock with
life warranty has ever been produced.
|
|
2. THE MOST prestigious and expensive clock is
a complicated mechanic one , and this is first
of all a refined and fragile mechanism which consists
of numerous details, interacting with each other.
Unfortunately this very type of clock is very
vulnerable.
|
|
3. ANY mechanic clock has a so called fault of
precision of clock operation: it has to be either
fast or slow. A standard fault (not for chronometers)
is estimated as -20 up to +40 seconds in 24 hours.
This standards are Swiss ones.

|
4. TWO DIFFERENT WORDS - "repair" and
"restoration" are often confused. Restoration
is when a clock is not only fixed it gets anew
its original exterior. Producing of some missing
details(antique clocks are always in need of them)
is a task for a skilled expert. Not each workshop
can provide with such experienced personnel, not
even every hundredth of workshops. In other words,
restoration is an expensive thing to afford with
a view to returning your clock back to its full
glamorous life style.
|
|
5. ALL OVER THE WORLD there is a multi-thousand
army of producing plants and only a few dozens
of celebrated individual clock-makers who create
the most exclusive clocks ( starting from the
draft up to a completed product). The work is
aimed at those who are really keen on clockmaking.
In Russia such ace is the only one now - the creator
of the first Russian clock with tourbillon, a
well-known master Konstantin Chaykin. He is the
head of the Watch & Clock Restoration Center
which has been recently opened in Saint-Petersburg..
