Greetings! I'm Gerrad, and I am an absolute amateur who is slowly, but surely, finding his way. I've been a lover of watches and clocks since I was about 6 yrs old; I used to spend hours working with my grandfather to build and service clocks - his hobby.
I've collected watches forever, but only in the last 1.5 yrs did I decide to take on learning to service and repair watches. It's been intensely gratifying, even when it's the most maddening. Honestly, if I had the time and knew I could earn a living doing it, I'd go to school for it; at 49, I'm ready to do what brings me joy.
I'm by and large, a vintage mechanical and automatic collector, but I love old transistorized watches and movements like the ESA 9154. I also really love early quartz movements, Casio digitals, ana-digi, Seiko Kinetic, and weird ones like the Ricoh Rechargeable Quartz (REQ) movements.
Anyway, that's enough about me! If you made it this far, thanks for taking the time.
