Call for Assistance: Nicholas Hacko launches gofundme to buy guilloche in Australia

Hi Everyone, 

As watch enthusiast down under, I thought I'd do my bit to raise awareness for a local watchmaker and repairer, one of the very few and unfortunately shrinking population of independent business based in Australia that can perform servicing, outside of the large Swiss groups.

If you haven't heard of Nicholas Hacko here is his website but the tl;dr 

  • Family business of watch repair now watch makers based in Sydney, Aus
  • Passionate fellow, just subscribe to his newsletter, you'll see how his brain ticks, no filter!
  • Determined to keep watch making alive in Australia

On that last point, he's recently reached out via his newsletter to get help on purchasing a guilloche machine. His aim is to one day have watchmakers trained locally and revive watchmaking in Aus. This guilloche machine is a piece unique and to lose access to purchase it locally will not come around again but also the opportunity to train and produce local independents becomes much harder as the price and availability to such machines are not viable locally.

If that resonates (pun intended) with you, the gofundme is linked for those who want to find out more!
