Are there any Horologist’s on the forum?

I ain’t one, but I have fond memories of a since-deceased horologist whose office was next to mine. Horological Services was the name of his business. He acknowledged that his was a dying trade, but that it would outlive him.

 

I wouldn’t call myself a horologist, but I’ve been collecting watches my whole life

 

I confess that I had to look it up. A couple of months back I watched a fascinating show on the current state of the art. Electronically they are pushing the precision out to a ridiculous number of decimal points.

 

From one of the "Pirates of the Caribbean" movies:
Respectable lady: "I am a horologist!"
Pirate: "So's me mum, but she don't brag about it."
