Period
Mr Eckert was a watchmaker from the late 1940s until he retired in 1985.
Canada
These items were all used by Mr. Eckert in order to earn a living repairing and making watches and other small timepieces. He had not intended to be a watchmaker but, as a young man in Germany after WWII, he needed a job. He studied and trained at night. The assignment for the master exam was to make a clock from watch parts. It was to be wound from the back but the time was to be set from the front. Mr. Eckert started his training in the late 1940s. He bought his lathe in 1948. In 1963 he had the opportunity to come to Canada. He settled in Montreal and in 1977, came to Ottawa. He was self-employed and worked in various locations. Mr. Eckert retired in 1985.
Function
The set of Staking Tools consists of a small punch holder with rotating anvil platform and a large collection of various punches and stumps useful for all sorts of operations in watch and clock repair.
Technical
These precision instruments are needed to make, maintain and repair watches. These tools, especially the lathe, are core tools for a self-employed watchmaker. They have changed very little since the mid-19th century, other than using electric motors to run certain tools. Once electronic time pieces were introduced in the 1950s and 1960s, these tools were rendered largely obsolete.
