About TekMorMel

TekMorMel is a reference covering mechanical clock restoration as documented for Poland. The content focuses on pendulum longcase regulation, movement disassembly and lubrication, and pocket watch handling — with reference to museum collections, published horological guidance, and continental climate effects on timing.

Scope

The site addresses weight-driven and spring-driven mechanical movements found in Polish homes, churches, and private collections. Material draws on publicly available sources including the British Horological Institute, the National Association of Watch and Clock Collectors (NAWCC), and Federation of the Swiss Watch Industry technical publications. The content is descriptive and informational: it does not constitute professional repair instruction for a specific movement.

Content approach

Articles are written in an informational style. Where procedures are described — oil placement, beat adjustment, mainspring handling — these reflect established published practice. Where a detail varies by calibre or maker, neutral descriptive language is used rather than universal prescriptions.

External links point only to publicly accessible, authoritative sources: BHI, NAWCC, FHS, and Polish museum horology pages where available.
