Two momentous events have occurred in the second half of
2016. These events have heralded change, which allows the words in the lyrics
of the Seal song “A Change is gonna come”
to become true. His soul stirring balladic rendering of ‘how it’s been an
uphill journey and been a long time coming’ (The lyrics of the song are penned
by songwriter Sam Cooke) has finally arrived in the form of Brexit (June 2016)
and the US Elections (Nov 2016). The ripples of change is sure to flow towards
Europe as elections in France (April 2017) and Germany (Aug 2017) will sandwich
elections in Czechoslovakia and Netherlands.
The only permanent thing in life is change apart from death
and taxes (credit to Benjamin Franklin). The timing of change is critical. Time
is relentless and when the events coalesce then it is opportunistic time. As
the developed countries (where the change is happening most) realign their
trade policies and agreements, Britain is on the threshold of leading the
change.
Time and the measurement of time has always been the bastion of British watchmaking skills from time immemorial. It appears that Britain
will no more have to wait at the back of the queue (as exiting US President Mr.
Barack Obama had remarked just before the Brexit vote). Under the leadership of
the dynamic Prime Minister of UK, Mrs. Theresa May, Britain can leapfrog over others
and claim back the dominant position of favored trade partner with the
strongest economy in the world.
The timing is perfect as British flavor in the United States
of America are strongly represented both culturally (the entertainment arts
have personalities such as Mark Rylance, Emily Blunt, Kate Winslett, Helen
Mirren among others) and politically (the Queen at the age of 90 and as the
longest serving monarch) is revered the world over. Therefore, it is time that
the watchmaking industry establishes ‘Glashutte’ styled watchmaking facilities.
Opportunity is knocking and there is no dearth of finance (the
pound is affordable as an investment currency), the knowledge of watchmaking is
in the British DNA and the skills are in excellent hands of reputed watchmakers
and institutions. Glancing through WatchPro or reading Hodinkee (reputed web
resource on watches) or any online community such as trustpilot.com the name of
Perpetual Time chimes the solidity of British watchmaking excellence.
Several Perpetual Time reviews agree that the service and
professionalism in watch restoration is incomparable. The appreciation accorded
in Perpetual Time reviews are sincere as the
recipient of the workmanship understands the passion and dedication of
Perpetual Time.
