About the Speaker
From a young age, Denis had always been interested in anything mechanical, taking apart and putting things back together. As a young adult, he repaired his first watch and contacted a local collector for a crystal. When the collector learned he was able to get the watch running himself and how he did it, the collector encouraged Denis to go into watch repair. So, he did. Denis has been in business since 1996. Several years ago, he entered college for advanced manufacturing courses and is now teaching CNC Machines I and II classes at the local community college. Over the years he has amassed a number of machines and tools, both antique and modern, so that any type of repair or service can be done in-house. In 2016, Denis entered the NAWCC Pritchard contest and won. His entry was the restoration of a Breitling Laederich pocket watch. Day in and day out, Denis can be found at his bench or machines working on restoring various different kinds of watches. That’s the concise biography.
