Newbie from Italy

[giulioskij]

Hi everyone, 

 

I'm Giulio, a new watch enthusiast from Italy.

 

I'm a biotech student with a load of interests in the most different fields: from jazz and field recording to aeronautics and astronomy... And this means I know a lot of many things, bot nothing of one in particular. 

 

My interest in watches comes back when I had my first flikflak as a child and developed with those magic digital Casio as a teen. I sinned for preferring to wear a Vincerò instead of the Baume&Mercier my mother gifted me for my eighteen, but since I inherited my grandfather's Omega Genève and Certina I've been looking for redemption, learning not only about the history of watchmaking but also the engineering of mechanical time keeping. 

 

I joined this forum to get valuable knowledge but also to seek advise for my little repairing works which are more of a practical way to learn about the movements than my final goal in horology.

Hi Giulio and welcome to the forum  Nice picture of the cat, the watch is not too bad either. I have added a couple of documents for your interest.   Our Host/Administrator Mark has some online courses graduated for starters up wards well worth a look if you are taking it up as a hobby.
