The year was 1905 and the month of May. Albert Einstein (1879 - 1955)
was then aged 26 years and yet to scale the ladder of his
yet-to-be-heralded greatest achievements. Walking down the streets he
had a Eureka moment (as it transpired later). He imagined sitting in a
streetcar and traveling at the speed of light. Within the streetcar, he
found that the time on his wristwatch was still ticking. Looking back
out of the car, he realised that the time on the clock tower at the end
of the street had stopped. The Archimedean moment crystalised into the "Special Theory of Relativity"
and the science of space-time was born with the result that Man is
proposing to colonize Mars (Elon Musk on Sep 27, 2016 at International
Astronautical Congress). Going back in time of Einstein's streetcar
imagined tableau the place was Bern, Switzerland and the Clock tower
named Zytglogge is still ticking (cared by the Governor of Time Mr.
Markus Marti - a retired engineer) and has the distinction of being a
landmark icon. This story comes courtesy of the BBC titled The Clock that changed the Meaning of Time.
The
BBC along with Britain is now at another crossroad of Time. The
approaching countdown trigger of formal exit from the EU (European
Union) is ticking. Perhaps the BWCMG (British Watch and Clockmakers
Guild) had an inkling of the impending events when they met in a meeting
after a gap of 54 years in April 2015; and the meeting's agenda "The
way ahead for British Watchmaking".
Watchmakers in Britain already have a stellar reputation of integrity as several Perpetual Time reviews have eloquently posted. Perpetual Time
is among several gifted watchmakers in Britain who service world famous
brands with quality generic spare parts that are better than the
original parts in terms of both caliber and costs. The onset of Brexit
is sure to provide the needed impetus for British watchmaking to take
the all-important step of British brands.
The
time is right, the skills are there and there is no dearth of service
technicians with three reputed watchmaking schools such as British
School of Watchmaking in Manchester, Birmingham School of Jewellery and
West Dean College. The needed investment should not be a cause for
concern with the falling pound making it attractive for perceptive
investors. Another Perpetual Time review has commented on this aspect when he was concerned at the delay in service by big watch brands.
