"It’s like being inside a book that nobody’s reading. An old one. It’s up in a library shelf, so you’re safe and everything, but the book hasn’t been checked out for a long, long time. All you can do is wait. Just hope somebody’ll pick it up and start reading."

Yesterday Chad gave me this beautiful Michael Kors watch. Of course I needed like five links out to accommodate my childlike wrists, and of course I had no idea of a good repair shop south of 985.
I called a few in-town stores and was quoted everything from what amounts to my weekly grocery bill for the fix to “we provide the tools and you do it.”
Googling turned up Bowers Watch and Clock Repair off Cheshire. Go there. This guy really, truly, awesomely loves clocks and watches. He has a frog clock that ribbits every hour with a bug minute hand. He has this whole wall of cuckoo and grandfather clocks, and a cabinet of calfskin and gator-grain wristbands.
He told me all about this gorgeous nineteenth century bronze lady-clock statuette someone brought in, and how it was made in Long Island and super rare and how the pendulum worked. He couldn’t believe that the over-sized MK watch was actually for a woman, but had me out the door with a great fit in five minutes flat, insisting that I pay next time I stopped in. ALSO he wore American flag suspenders. Never going anywhere else. Right next to Tara Theatre, 10-4 M/F, -2 Sat.
