Clocks and watches, like old/homebrew computers, are very cool. They are hard but not too hard to the point that an amateur can't do it. I always envy the amount of ingenuity someone has that went into making a watch. There is an exceptionally good podcast about a vintage clock restorer's life I listened to last year called Shit Town. It describes how the life of someone so brilliant, so smart could be so bizarrely and tragically dysfunctional. I think the story rung a bell to myself, and I couldn't be more sympathetic after listening to it. It has to be my favorite podcast of all time.
