Is it realistic for collectors not to consider the monetary value of their collections?
(Collecting watches in the age of record precious metal values.)
John has been interested in watches and collecting since he was a little kid going out to look for
watches with his father who was a long-time NAWCC member. He started in the pocket watch
world but in the ‘90s he started to get the wristwatch bug. John has been giving talks about
collecting at the chapter, regional and national level since the ‘90s with his emphasis evolving
from interest in the watches to interest in the collectors and their motivations.
John has been an NAWCC member for over 30 years and was an NAWCC board member for 8
years.

From CAD to Case: 3D Printing Custom Movement Solutions in Modern Watchmaking
The presentation will discuss the role of 3D printing in watchmaking. Companies are increasingly using 3D printing to prototype cases, bracelets, bezels, and other watch components. The ability to quickly create a physical proof of concept design is extremely helpful for a number of reasons including development time and cost savings. The talk will focus primarily on the process of creating custom movement holders and spacers that enable watchmakers and watch modders to integrate movements and cases for custom watch designs.
