Hello I am ghost and watch making is my hobby. Watch making is a very old skill dating back to 16th century. In modern times watches are just a piece of electronics made up of cells and motors and computer. But formally watches were made using springs and gears and fun fact they didn't needed a battery but instead they had a thing called balance wheel which can also be called heart of the watch . Watches were a great time keeping accessories but today I don't see many people wear them . So if any watch nerds are here you can mention your favorite watch(es).

@ghostp2928 Hey ghost, I’m Gen. It’s lovely to meet you and I admire what you’ve written here. 😊Watch making is an absolutely amazing hobby to take up and I completely agree, watches are a great time keeping accessory to have. I personally enjoy wearing them.

Pocket watches are my absolute favorite type of watches. I especially love the hunter case pocket watch with a snap case back! It’s been a personal preference since I was a child. I also enjoy using nurse watches because they are often water-resistant. What are your favorite types of watches?

I also don’t see many people wearing watches these days… Perhaps we aren’t seeing them wearing watches because they’re all hidden in their pockets (like mine!) 🤣 I’m glad I came upon your post. 💓
