Amro Watches

You can find Amro Watches right on the Mumbai-Pune Road in Jogeshwari West. It is a noisy spot with all the trucks and cars going by, but inside the shop, it stays pretty quiet. We have been here doing this for a long time. People stop by when they are traveling between the cities or just locals from Jogeshwari. I spend most of my time hunched over a desk. My back hurts sometimes, but that’s part of the job. Watches are delicate things. One wrong move and you break a spring. We see a lot of dust from the road, so we are always dusting the glass cases. It is a constant battle. We handle old mechanical watches and the newer ones that run on batteries. It doesn't matter much to us. A watch is a watch. We just want to make sure the hands move like they should. Sometimes someone brings in a watch that survived a crash on the highway. Those are the hard ones to fix. We take our time. There is no point in rushing when you are working with things smaller than a grain of rice. The Mumbai-Pune Road is always moving, but here, we take a minute to look closely at the details. That’s just how life is at Amro Watches. We don't have a lot of space, but we have enough for the tools we need and a few chairs for people to wait.
