I am currently living at the Sunshine Coast of Australia. Previously in America I was a watchmaker, clockmaker, jeweler.This started in 1976 so many repairs have crossed my workbench. I did mostly watch repair, probably 200 per week, and a dozen clock repairs each week, plus did house calls on floor clocks. Since moving to Australia I have owned two other businesses. I can be reached at dan@watchfixer.com. Maybe I can help.
I am more tuned to watch making. The trade is no longer a journeyman occupation as when my grandfather used to be a railroad inspector. Same with me. I used to overhaul 25 mechanical watches a day, an hour for each unit @ $8.50 per unit (back then). I raised a family, bought a house, and several cars on this wage. The main thing is that I thoroughly enjoy watchmaking.
My old home town is Decatur, Illinois, USA and now live at Maroochydore, Queensland, Australia, a five minute walk to the surf..
