After my dad got out of the army after WW11 he really couldn't figure out what to do with his life. My mothers grandfather did watch repair & my dad decided to learn that. It didn't earn enough to support a family so he had to get a real job & make watch repair his hobby. He would spend hours in the garage at his watch repair bench. The horse was too small to have it in the house. He had his little heater next to the bench during the colder winter days in so. Ca.

One of the most fascinating clocks I ever was was when I was wandering around Rome Italy. I walked into this courtyard of at least a 3 story complex attached to some ruins & there stood this huge water clock. The running water made the clock run & keep perfect time.....very interesting
