Times Watch Company

Times Watch Company is located over in Sec-55, at A-18. It’s a quiet enough area compared to the main markets, which suits us just fine. We deal with all kinds of timepieces, from small wristwatches to larger clocks. The shop is filled with the sound of ticking, which you stop noticing after the first hour of being here. We have these small workbenches with bright lamps where we spend most of our time. It’s very detailed work, using tiny tools and magnifying glasses to see what’s going on inside a watch. Our hands are usually a bit oily from the clock parts. The shop isn't very large, and we’ve got drawers full of old gears and springs that we might need someday. We don't have a big marketing plan or a fancy storefront. Mostly, people find us because they live nearby or someone told them we could fix their old watch. We talk to our customers about how their day is going while we change a battery or fix a strap. It’s a slow pace of life here. Sometimes we just sit and watch the traffic go by if things are quiet. We aren't trying to change the world; we just want to make sure people's watches keep the right time. It's a craft we've been doing for a long time now, and we're happy with how things are. We usually close up early on Saturdays if there isn't much to do.
