My Dad used to wear a Rolex, and was always into watches. As I grew older, he gifted me a Favre Leuba when I turned 16. At that young age, I didn't really appreciate what it was, other than it told me the time, and was different from what everyone else was wearing.
When it came time to get it serviced, he took me to this little shop on Merivale.
Fast forward 40+ years - apparently this shop has been here since 1974 - it has a new owner who's been behind the counter for 10 of those.
I've visited many times to get various things done to my timekeeping devices. The service is always excellent - it's fascinating watching him practice his craft, as he makes it look so easy, and what he charges for his service and products is more than fair.
Of course, you can't put a price on supporting local business! read more
