Paul Watch Co

My grandfather started this little spot, or maybe I just opened it years back. We're on 52 Main Road. People drop off their watches when the glass breaks or the battery dies. It's a small shop in Sector 19. I sit at the bench most days. It gets dusty, but I keep the parts organized. Sometimes the gears are so tiny you can barely see them. Customers come in complaining about their morning alarm not going off. I just take a look and see what’s stuck inside. It's usually just some lint or a dead battery. It’s quiet here mostly, except for the ticking of all the clocks on the wall. I've lived around here forever. You see the same faces walking past the window every day. Sometimes they just pop in to ask for the time or to see if their strap can be tightened. I don't use fancy machines, just the old loupe and some tweezers. It takes patience to get the timing right. The street outside is busy, but once you step inside, it's just the sound of small movements. I like working with my hands. It's a living. Most people don't fix things anymore, they just throw them away, but some still care about their old wristwatches. I'm usually here from morning until the sun goes down. If you're walking down Main Road, you'll see the sign. It’s nothing special, just a place to get your watch sorted out.
