Pocket Watches

My grandfather used to fix mechanical pocket watches as a hobby. I didn’t understand him. There were many things I didn’t understand about him, but to me this was one of the most baffling. He was so quaint about so many things. He knew about digital watches – he wasn’t that out of touch. Nevertheless, he seemed to eschew many of the conveniences of modern technology. Why would anyone spend time fixing an ornate, antique pocket watch when he could get a cheap digital watch instead? To me, it just didn’t make any sense. It seemed like he was wasting hours and hours.
I was the exact opposite of him, and we frequently got on each other’s nerves.
