Hello from south Sweden!

Short history:

  • Got bit by the watch bug summer 2017
  • Watched way to many review videos etc. on YouTube
  • Stumbled upon watch repair channel by this Mark guy, moved on
  • Dug up my great grandfathers pocket watch, amazed that it would run without any issue
  • How do watches work? and that maybe I could service them? gets stuck in my head
  • Go back and check what that Mark guy was all about

Fast forward a bit, I've since serviced a few watches from Certina, Seiko, Rado, Longines, UG and Waltham. Fun bonus is that I've started to take note of movement designs, things I like and things I don't like. Still very new to this hobby and looking forward to the next chapter.

Happy to be here! :)
