Like Watchmakers in a Tool Store

Week 42

It's been a good season lately for deal hunters and those who enjoy browsing large collections of machinery. Last week the school had a visit from our friend Sabri and his large selection of hand tools for sale.

The students peruse Sabri's wares

This week, students were invited to tour Greub, a local business specializing in the restoration, modification, and sale of watch tools, from desk stands to industrial-sized presses. The massive warehouse and workshop was truly a sight to behold.
