OSUIT Watchmaking School Closing Jun 14, 2018

Show notes

Another watchmaking school bites the dust. The opportunity to become a watchmaker just got that much harder. It’s unfortunate that there are less and less schools that people can readily attend to become a watchmaker. Either us watchmakers double down and spread the art ourselves or the industry will be left with a bunch of sequential workers. "OSUIT is phasing out the Watchmaking & Microtechnology program within the School of Engineering Technologies. OSUIT will no longer be accepting applications for or enrolling new students in the Watchmaking & Microtechnology program” LINKS: If you haven’t checked out the YouTube channel, here’s the latest episode: Want to see a YouTube Breakdown of a Rolex Datejust with an Aftermarket Crystal? https://youtu.be/7XOyDdqw_lo Instagram: https://instagram.com/nobswatchmaker Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/nobswatchmaker Website: www.nobswatchmaker.com
