Watchmaking is the kind of thing I can’t decide if I would like or despise. The way Marshall presents it, there is a lot of precision and focus needed, but after a while I would think a service is a service and just becomes routine.
The appealing thing to me about watch repair is the intrinsic order of it all. Every watch (or clock) is a precision instrument with exactly ONE correct way to function. Not a lot of room for subjectivity on the part of the customer or the one doing the repair!
I can see the appeal. It doesn’t hurt the internals are so cool looking too. I work with electronics and code. There is usually only correct operation, but often many different ways to get there; and many of the problems are self inflicted and usually fun to hunt down.
Cool! Here’s to 50 more.
