What is the name of the "carmaker"? There rarely is "one", as few people have the opportunity or experience to do it all. But there is a "car repairer" who needs more flexibility and benefits constantly from every unexpected workday. But does anybody want to be called a "watch mechanic"? It may be the more accurate term, though certainly less reminiscent. Jeff TimeCode I hate to say I think the answer is in other factory/repair industries. What is the name of the “carmaker”?

We talked a few times before on Timezone (Steve_JR) about Lititz and I wanted to let you know that I went for my interview a couple weeks ago and I am happy to announce that a few hours ago I accepted their invitation to the school! I am very excited to become a true member of the watchmaking community and am very grateful for all that you have told me about on Timezone as well as here in your blog. I look forward to being a "watchmaker" not a factory assembler ;) -Steve Hi Peter!
