What Got You Into Watches?

hihenal · April 17

Hey everyone,

Just dropping in to start a casual conversation—hope that’s cool here in the Relax Zone. I’ve recently been diving into the world of watches, and it’s turning into quite the rabbit hole (in the best way). I’ve always liked them, but after inheriting my grandfather’s old Seiko, I started getting curious about how these little machines actually work.

Funny enough, I’m also working on my Sitecore certification for my day job in digital marketing, and I find watch repair has a similar appeal—detailed, structured, and super rewarding when things click into place.

I was wondering—what pulled you all into watches or watch repair? Was it a special piece, a curiosity, or maybe just a love for tiny gears and tools?

I’m slowly building up my toolkit and learning the basics, and this forum has been an awesome place to browse and learn.

Looking forward to hearing your stories!

Cheers

Have always loved fixing things, cars mostly but also as a joiner...- take stuff apart, put it back together better - . And then my grandfather's watch that nobody wanted to fix in my town.

And I love puzzles .

My kids say if dad cant fix it nobody can, this ere proves it !
