I like cool machines. Imagine getting to wear one on your wrist all day! A little machine full of tiny cogs and springs, just whirring away down there, chopping the day into tiny, digestible bites.

It's a little pet robot! It doesn't eat anything! It just wants you to know whether you have time to have a wank before you have to go back to work! Thank you, little robot!

HOF x2. Wanking = extra points.

I have also fallen into the very nerdy watch restoring you tube K-hole. good lord, I'd have a crack at that if my eyes and dexterity were what they used to be..

I have this very old clock. I mean OOOOOOLLLLD clock. It belonged to my great-grandfather. It's a "Sessions" mantle clock. You can sometimes hear it go "bong bong bong" on the recordings of my podcast. As far as I know, it has never been serviced.

There's a clock repair place that has opened in my little town. I thought "I better get in there with this thing before this place goes out of business." I mean, how much business could there be? Do people really have so many clocks that they could keep a place like that in business?

Well, I walked in with my great-grandfather's clock the other day. There were SO MANY clocks in there. Dozens. Maybe close to a hundred. All ticking away and chiming at the top of the hour. The owner and his wife were older than me and we got to talking. I showed them some photos of drums I'd fixed. They asked me how I sourced parts (1. ebay, 2. patience, 3. know other dudes who do this, 4. stockpile/packrat) and if I'd ever had anything fabricated (yes. Here's my guy's number, etc).

And they asked me "Ever been interested in, like, fixing clocks? We need someone. Eventually, we'd hand over the business if they worked out."

I was like....

So, it doesn't have to be tiny watches. It could be clocks. Big ones, little ones, but full of, like, clockworks. You could learn to make these:



You could, y'know, maybe learn to speak French and join UX.

my semi-cheap watch (Skagen) worked fine for a couple years then it stopped, so I'm looking for something better for ~250eur...

don't you also have to service it every couple of years? i've considered getting an automatic but the cost+hassle of getting it looked over is putting me off. That plus quartz watches are more shockproof (precision doesn't hurt either) makes them look like a better pick.
