Micromachining Watch Parts

Friday, June 5 at 3 pm EST | Hosted by Nick Manousos

Watchmaker and president of the Horological Society of NY, Nick Manousos has been taking micro-machining to a whole new level with our Desktop PCB Milling Machine. He’s been using the mill’s rapid prototyping power to create custom gears and more for his watches. Join us this week on Engineering from Home to get a tour of Nick’s studio space and hear more about his prototyping process.
