Perform precision micro-mechanism diagnosis and servicing

Assessment tool

Version 1.0
Issue Date: May 2024


This unit of competency defines the skills and knowledge required to diagnose and service precision micro-mechanisms, including chronometer watch and clock components, to achieve performance to original specifications. It includes precision adjustment and testing to achieve timekeeping and water resistance specifications of completed timepieces.

No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

Band: A

Unit Weight: 6

Assessment Tasks

Copy and paste from the following data to produce each assessment task. Write these in plain English and spell out how, when and where the task is to be carried out, under what conditions, and what resources are needed. Include guidelines about how well the candidate has to perform a task for it to be judged satisfactory.

This field allows for different work environments and conditions that may affect performance. Essential operating conditions that may be present (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) are included.

Micro-mechanisms include one (1) or more of the following:

mechanical watches and clocks

electric watches and clocks

pieces of recent manufacture

restoration pieces

chronometer timepieces

day and date systems

automatic winding systems

generating systems

alarm mechanisms

striking and chiming mechanisms

calendar mechanisms

balance spring

dynamic poising

static poising

truing balance (flat and round)

chronograph mechanisms

Assembly and subassembly components include one (1) or more of the following:

balance staff

pallet staff

pallet jewels

wheel trains

power source

mechanical oscillating systems

motion work

calendar systems

escapement

balance spring

Tools and equipment include one (1) or more of the following:

mechanical hand tools

electronic equipment to measure amplitude and rate

electronic timing equipment

diagnostic equipment and tools

high-tolerance testing equipment

specialist service tools for adjusting oscillating systems and chronograph mechanisms

Precision components include one (1) or more of the following:

timekeeping elements, including:

balance staff

pallet staff

pallet jewels

wheel trains

power source

mechanical oscillating systems

motion work

calendar systems

Inspections include one (1) or more of the following:

high-tolerance clearances

fits and adjustments

functioning

systems analysis

performance analysis

Copy and paste from the following performance criteria to create an observation checklist for each task. When you have finished writing your assessment tool every one of these must have been addressed, preferably several times in a variety of contexts. To ensure this occurs download the assessment matrix for the unit; enter each assessment task as a column header and place check marks against each performance criteria that task addresses.
