Peter Hertel Master Watchmaker

Master Certificate

About me

I was born on 08 April 1958, the son of a watchmaking family in Bad Langensalza. After school, I completed an apprenticeship as a computer and typewriter mechanic. After graduation, I began my training as a watchmaker and then acquired the championship title. Later, I took over my father's watchmaking company. There I deal with the sale of watches and jewelery and the repair of complicated watches. During my many years of work, I have gained a lot of experience. Some time ago, I moved from Germany to Thailand to live in Chiang Mai, more precisely in the Doi Saket district. The chiang mai people here are verry friendly and nice. To live here is very peaceful.

Repair of an automatic men's watch Laco Sport antique rarity from ca.1955

Very nice automatic men's watch with a sturdy construction. The movement with 25 stones was still in good condition. The bearings of the barrel, however, were worn and had to be repaired. A picture shows the work in the warehouse. The movement is completely disassembled, all parts checked and cleaned. Later put back together and restored the function of each component.
