Horology Matters: The Independent Forum for Professional Watchmakers and Clockmakers

Thank you for your interest in Horology-Matters.

The purpose of the Horology-Matters forum is to raise the overall level of skill and professionalism of all professional watchmakers and clockmakers by sharing knowledge, experience and best practices, and providing an efficient channel of communication for members of the horological community to discuss all matters pertaining to the trade.

Use Horology-Matters to ask a technical question, offer a solution, search for that hard-to-find part, make valuable business contacts, participate in uncensored discussions of industry policies and trends, or just make new horological friends. Members receive special promotions and discounts from horological merchants as part of our "Merchant Monday" program.

Horology Matters was established after the closure of AWI-Matters, the message board of the American Watchmakers-Clockmakers Institute (AWCI). Many former members of AWI-Matters are participants on Horology-Matters, but participation is open to any professional or semi-professional watchmaker or clockmaker. You do not have to be a member of AWCI or NAWCC to participate in Horology-Matters. There is no cost to participate.

Horology-Matters is an independent, privately operated group, and is not affiliated with any trade organization. It is owned and administered by volunteers for the benefit of the horological community.
