The Long Awaited Watchmaking Store
Dear Blog, All throughout fall and winter term I have been circling this watch store that is close to downtown. It has really weird hours and has always been closed when I try to go in but on February 25th, I finally got in. The store is called Anderson Watchmaking on 1385 Oak Street in Eugene. I first noticed this store while on a leisure walk. Peering into the window, I fell in love with this place. The old style of the interior decor drew me in so much that I wanted to break through the window that night to look around. When I went into the store I watched the owner replace the battery on a woman's watch who came in before me. Despite this being a watch store, only one clock worked in the entire store. It makes sense though, I feel if all the clocks worked, the hour mark would be awfully loud. After talking to the owner I learned that he was a fifth generation watch maker! He grew up watching his dad work on watches and went to watch school with his brot...
