Preserving traditional skills and refining them is
embedded in the British psyche. The example of watch making is apt as ever
since the 16th century, watchmakers have belonged to guilds and this tradition
has continued to flourish. The Guild of Master Craftsmen is Britain’s oldest
trade association that represents skilled tradespersons, artisans and other
professionals that are achieving excellence and aiming for
perfection in their skills. Over 400 such professions are represented by the
Guild. To become a member is an arduous exacting process as the assessment is
very thorough before the coveted badge of Guild of Master Craftsmen is
bestowed.
One such member is Perpetual Time who can be called
as watchmaker extraordinaire. The highest quality of watch service, watch
repair and watch restoration services can be had at their premises in Liverpool
and Manchester. The bespoke WOSTEP
(Watchmakers of Switzerland Training Education Program) trained and BHI
(British Horological Institute) alumni are up there with the best of the best.
Having a state-of-the-art workshop and access to
generic spare parts with the capability of even turning out the elusive vintage
spare part enables this gifted watchmaker to handle all kinds of watches – from
world-class brands of modern and vintage classics to everyday timepieces of
people who appreciate time on their wrist. No movement or caliber is beyond
them, even a tourbillion.
Among their many talents is watch customization that
has evoked stunning appreciation. Perpetual Time reviews has several mention of family heirlooms restored to pristine
condition and ticking. Headed by a passionate watchmaker named Alex Photi (CEO
of Perpetual Time) it can be safe to comment that the legacy of George Daniels
(famed British horologist 1926 - 2011, CBE, DSc, FBHI, FSA, AHCI founder of
coaxial escapement) is alive and in good hands. Several Perpetual Time reviews echo similar appreciation for the
professionalism.
