as I recall my dad telling me about his fond
memories of my late grandfather,who was
a watchmaker.
My grandfather had his own brand of watches
in Hong Kong and my dad's late uncle used to
build watch cases.
Even my father had to work as a case polisher,
it was demanding job for a twelve year old.
But with a household of 34 mouths to feed,
there wasn't much money.
Watchmaking and watch collecting runs in the family,
for which I am proud to be associated with.
My dad's brother was a watchmaker.
My dad's half-sister has her own retail store in Hong Kong.
Now, it's my turn to carry on the tradition.
As a retail watch professional, I take my job seriously
with enthusiasm and passion. Sometimes, is difficult
not to feel sentimental but it happens.
