Raajsan Watch Company

We are over here at 270 Purusawalkam High Road, right where the traffic usually gets a bit heavy in the afternoons. My father started this small watch place a long time ago, and not much has changed since then. The wooden shelves are still the same ones from back then, maybe just a bit more worn out now. Most days I’m just sitting behind the counter with a magnifying glass stuck to my eye, trying to figure out why some old pocket watch stopped ticking. It’s quiet work, mostly. People come in from the street because they need a new battery or the strap on their wrist is finally falling apart. We have all kinds of clocks hanging on the walls too, and sometimes they all chime at different times which can get a bit loud if you aren’t used to it. The Purusawalkam area has changed a lot, with new shops coming and going every year, but we’ve just stayed here in this same spot. I usually keep the door open to let a bit of air in, even if the noise from the High Road comes in with it. It’s a simple living. We don't have fancy displays or anything like that. Just a lot of tools, small screws that are easy to lose, and boxes of spare parts that we've collected over the decades. If you walk past the shop, you’ll probably see me or my cousin just sitting there working.
