History for American watchmaking is in my hand. All in-house haute-horlogerie mainplate, like no other, ever. Made right here in my atelier, and repeatable to the micron. Design, R&D, programming, CAD, CAM and mathematics by a thrash metal loving Watchmaker. Be proud USA! – at Charlotte, NC

Almost 3 years of full time R&D (and even school for CAD, CAM & programming) to get here. I designed and built this CNC machine especially to make only internal timepiece parts. It took one year to make, program and align for the repeatability we need in watchmaking. – at Charlotte, NC

Swiss Schaublin 102 lathe. I’m at the end of the restoration project on this piece of precision mechanical art from the 1940’s. This is used in the manufacture of my forthcoming haute-horlogerie caliber J11.13, all made by hand right here in the great United States of America!

Letting you all into my world of Haute-Horlogerie. Meet VanDeckel my German made precision tool maker. Most say it’s the finest ever made, so I modified it.
