The largest list for people who are in the clock trade
is the E-mailing list called Clocksmiths. The requirements for
membership are that you MUST be directly involved in the clock trade
either through consultation, education, repairs, sales, or as a supplier.
Clocksmiths has about 700 members and limits its' discussions
about watches to their repair only and devotes the collective energies
of its' membership on better and smarter clock repair and restoration.
The E-mail volume is somewhere in between that of alt.horology
and Clocks. The focus is much more structured because of a very active
and concerned listowner. The other two resources, although very
good, tend to stray away from their original focus of horology and
get into non-relevant areas because they do not have active "owners".
Horology for Mini Lathes is a group to share information on clock making ideas
for the metalworking lathe owner.

I have a group devoted to the professional service of the Atmos clock but you MUST
meet the following requirements in order to join.
You are currently proficient at the overhaul of the Atmos clock and I'll need to
know how many Atmos' you have worked on, your business name, how did you learn
to work on the Atmos, and how long have you been in the business of repairing clock
and/or watches.
Clock and watch suppliers are always welcome, as are hobbyists. Hobbyists must
demonstrate their Atmos repair proficiency.
Simply paste or type your E-mail address in the box below and you will
automatically receive a file asking you for your
Alt.horology is the USENET newsgroup covering clocks and
watches. This is a good place for the "casual" collector or hobbyist
to "hang out" because of its relative light traffic. There is about ten
(10) times more activity on the listserver than the newsgroup.

I don't have the ability to explain how a newsgroup works but you can
choose your favorite search engine and ask their computer via a search.
Happy hunting.
