Vighnahar Watch House

If you head down Saswad Road in Hadapsar, you will find Vighnahar Watch House sitting near the Gondhale Nagar Kaman. It is a busy spot with lots of motorcycles and buses rushing past the door all day long. The shop itself is tucked away, and you might miss it if you aren't looking for the sign. We’ve been working out of this space for a while now, mostly dealing with the usual repairs that come with owning a watch. We have a small counter where we take things apart. The lighting isn't always the best, so we use those lamps that clip onto the edge of the table. It’s a lot of sitting and staring at tiny gears through a loupe. Most of our customers are locals from around Gondhale Nagar who know they can just drop by when something stops working. We don't have a computer system or anything like that; we just write things down in a big ledger book. Sometimes the rain gets heavy and leaks a little near the back door, but we keep the watches safe in the cupboards. It's a simple life here, just keeping track of time for the people in Hadapsar. We see everything from old wind-up pieces to the newer battery ones. Usually, the repair is simple, but every now and then, we get something that takes a few days to figure out.
