THE WATCHMAKER

Normal Rockwell thought this his best painting.

I'm inclined to agree :-)

This is the year I want to try my hand at a watch build. Maybe even a restoration by the end of the year or into 2025...

You just know this kid will be a Cruncher! (Or was given when this was painted...😂)

I have the original advertisement this painting was made for.

Needs a better frame though just slightly too big.

Fascinating. It perfectly encapsulates the marketing myths that the Swiss manufacturers are peddling to this day:

"Your watch is made by a wizened artisan."

"Your watch is an heirloom which your children will be fascinated by."
