Maintaining a Family Heirloom
When my father passed away last year, my siblings and I had to go through the arduous process of dividing his assets according to the specifications in his will. Of all the items bequeathed to me, his watch that he wore during his bomber missions in WWII carried the most importance. The watch has been a family heirloom that his father passed on to him, and I am committed to keeping it in the family for years to come.
The watch hasn’t been used for several decades; needless to say, it was in need of some reconditioning. I certainly don’t want to wear the watch on a daily basis, but I would like to keep it functional. To that end, I recently purchased a set of watch repair tools and I have been meticulously making minor adjustments to improve its workings.
