Finally Found A New Place...


Recommended Posts

Mark's move got me thinking about our move....

 

Since we are moving to Seattle in less than a week for my wife's new job, we've been scrambling to find a new place to live! Our first choice fell through because of an error by the listing company so we had to find something quick! We decided to move right in the middle of downtown Seattle.

 

We found this loft and fell in love with it! BUT, it going to be TIGHT! 800 sq.ft.Tiny to be exact...

 

Luckily, my shop sits in a tiny room right now and shouldn't take up much space..

 

But, I'll have great views!

Lovely looking location Don, I wondered where you had disappeared to. :-)

Been crazy around here lately! All the packing and logistical "Stuff" to deal with...

Also. I've been trying to get all my watch projects finished before the big move... :phew:

Remember not to be sleepless in Seattle! :-)

Ha! There may be a few Sleepless nights in Seattle! It will be the first time that my hobby will be required to pay for some of the bills... :(

Finally "Settled in Seattle"!

It's tight at 790sq.ft, but works for me! (Yes, that is my ice cold Peroni in the glass on the work bench...)

 

I also have a nice view from the loft of Puget Sound...

Excellent spot DJW, small works for me actually. The smaller the place the less a watch part has to travel! And speaking of travel, sometimes I believe watches have their own private travel agency for their parts...when they go, they really go! Believe it or not, I just lost a watch battery I was replacing...it simply ping or maybe pong to nowhere!

Good to here from you again Don. That's a really nice set up you have there and what a cracking view. I'm looking forward to seeing some more of your horological creations in the near future.

Yeah! So am I! Now that I chose to make a go at it as a small business, I really need to produce watches that people will like and would want to wear!

    • 🤔 leaving the EU meant that UK was no longer part of the convention and have already been turned down an independent reapplication. I'm pretty sure courts have to be held in Switzerland in this case. There will be a lot more watches stashed away in draws  tbh, folk wont be able to afford to maintain them. Cheap watches will be bought and top end watches by folk with plenty of cash that can pay for service and repair. The expensive once in a lifetime gifts and everything else inbetween will be at the forgotton when they stop working. I know i was being a numpty, get used to it 😄 Anybody that knows will boycott them, but besides repairers who will know. Nope will never buy one, i made that decision as soon as i learnt about this. 
    • although not in this case.  It was the Lugano Convention and its deficiencies that allowed a Swiss court decision in the first place.  This isnt really a Brexit issue at all.  A decision that affects both the EU and the UK should never have been heard in Switzerland. I bet the authorised service centres in the UK are pretty pleased.  It's a massive shame, though; I believe watch owners should be able to choose to have their watch serviced by whoever they trust.
    • Hi guys I think that old hippy is correct, it opens the gates for china to manufacture aftermarket spare parts. considering that they already do work on behalf of the Swiss I guess this decision gives the a little more legitimacy to tool up and I am sure they will take advantage of the situation either with or without the blessing of the Swiss watch industry  Having read about the protectionist machinations of the Swiss in the history of Europe they were the only ones to get fat at everybody else’s expense. I think the outcome could have been guessed at but ,  fair play to Cousins UK for standing up to them.  Now the question,  will everybody boycott Swiss watches and Swatch, no way they will still fill their coffers.  Me I stick with the Japanese once renowned for cheap shitty watches who came good through industrial effort and don’t for get the Russians that most dismiss as low grade crap. Wouldn’t buy a swatch product ever how about you all.? a
