All animals are equal, but some are more equal than others

As the topic shifted, I will ask another question:

I will go to London soon, is there any interesting watch repair shop there?

If you find any will you post some pictures Andy, I love old watch shops. I found a fantastic one in Rome, an old guy eyeballing a repair to a pocket watch.

I think the high street repair shop is unfortunately becoming a thing of the past.

Edit

Sorry about the drift off topis.

Don't know of any watch repair shops, but HS Walsh have a shop in Hatton Garden.

When in the West End I usually walk down New Bond Street, ogling in the windows at the very expensive watches 🤪

Also, if you haven't already been, the Science Museum now houses the collection from the "Worshipful Company of Clockmakers". Watches from 1600 to present. Some of those from the 1600s are incredible. Well worth a visit.Ā 

I should also have mentioned the Royal Observatory at Greenwich, which among it's collection (including John Arnold,Ā Thomas Earnshaw and Thomas Tompion) have, what is to me, THE ultimate watch - Harrison's H4.Ā  The most important watch ever made? What's it worth?
I think all watchmakers should make the pilgrimage and pay homage to itĀ šŸ˜
