I recently lost my Dad who was a life long horologist [2nd generation. He ran a family watch repair business which grew to the largest in Phila. and served as the Authorized Service Agencies for many of the top brands like Omega, Ebel and Movado. Our family all worked at the shop at some time on our lives -- me every summer from age 8 to 18. Losing Dad has somehow lit a spark and I find myself going through his wide collection, changing batteries, doing small job repairs and discovering some unique time pieces he had collected but never really shared. I feel his loss but also his warmth as I fiddle with these watches. I know the basics but look forward to finding answers to some of my questions and attempt to repair some of the partial jobs he put away many years ago. Here is an example of a gem I found in running condition......how cool is this piece from the mod 1800's? Thanks all in advance. If only he had found this site in his last years .... he would have been an incredible wealth of information. Steve
