Prathamesh Watch Company

Prathamesh Watch Company is located right in the heart of Karve Nagar. It’s one of those shops where you can always hear a faint ticking sound in the background, which I’ve grown to find quite comforting over the years. We don’t have a massive showroom or anything like that; it’s just a cozy corner where we keep our tools and the watches people bring in. The counter is made of dark wood and it’s seen a lot of use since we first opened. Karve Nagar is a nice place to be, with a lot of families and local folks walking by every day. Sometimes the door squeaks when you open it, but we haven't gotten around to fixing that yet. We focus on the small things, like tiny screws and delicate springs that most people never even see. My eyes get a bit tired by the end of the day from all the close-up work, but that’s just how it goes in this trade. We don't use any fancy computer systems to track our work; we just write things down in a big ledger book with a blue pen. It’s a very hands-on way of doing things, but it works for us and our customers don't seem to mind. The shop gets a lot of natural light in the afternoon, which is the best time to work on the more complicated repairs. We aren't trying to be the biggest shop around, we just want to keep the clocks running for our neighbors.
