Surinder Watch Company

Surinder Watch Company is sitting right in the Main Bazar of Derabassi, near the Old Dushera Ground. It’s a busy area in Mohali. I’ve seen this market change a lot over the years. When the festivals happen at the Dushera Ground, the whole street gets packed with people. My shop is small, but it's full of parts and old clocks. I spend my day looking through a lens at tiny gears that most people never see. It’s slow work and you can’t rush it. If you force a spring, it just snaps. I’ve learned that the hard way many times. I fix all kinds of watches, from the ones that cost a lot to the simple ones people wear every day to work. The shop is a bit cramped because I keep everything. You never know when you might need a specific screw from a 1980s model. My tea gets cold on the desk because I get caught up in a tricky repair. The neighbors drop in to chat about the local politics or the price of things. It’s a community here. I don't have a big staff, it's just me. I like the feeling of a watch starting to tick again after it’s been dead for months. It’s a good feeling. If you’re walking through the bazaar, just look for the shop near the ground. I’ll probably be at the back bench working on something small.
