whats this?

Is this a blog?
Oh well, better blog then.

Started building my movement now, its going forward. It is kinda hard, because allot of the things im doing are new to me, but at the same time allot of the things are things ive done before. So those things i know are allot fun, because even if i know them, they take concentration and precision to become like it should be.

What am i doing now?
Im doing premontage(it seems ive said that allot on this blog). A whole deal of watchmaking on this level is premontage, getting the pieces ready, making sure they work in the watch(this can sometimes be very time consuming, for example, almost the whole day yesterday went into a big cross slide. Making sure it was completely free in its slide but not having a big shake in said slide). This is very cool and fun because when my boss is telling me what to do with X piece or Y piece, he explains a bit about what it does in the watch, what powers are working on it and what i need to be careful off and what to be extra perfect with. At the same time i get a bigger feel for the whole mechanism, which is of course totally awesome :P

Tomorrow me and my wife are going to see the alps. A colleage of mine and his girlfriend are going on a road trip to the alps, and they invited us with them. If the weather is anything like today it will be really nice and hopefully a relaxing but enjoyable ride.

Offbeat, I am finally getting a good hang of the french. Getting some of the jokes, even making some of my own now :P.
Relations at work are getting smoother and smoother. Even being able to drop into some workshops and just chat a bit. That feels very nice, to be able to participate in normal banter.

p.s. im gonna see what photos i can take of this movement, the platine(main plate) is very revealing so im not sure if thats allowed or not.
