my watch

some months ago, i broke the glass on my watch. i went to a shop to see if they could fix it, but of course, the shape of the watch - neither completely square nor completely round - makes it a difficult piece to replace. this is not a new problem - i've had it made several times before - but it's of course getting more and more expensive. so after one shop, i asked my students. i do, after all, teach at a watch-makers' 3 times a week. the answer wasn't immediately obvious but it turns out they can make it, just not right there but in another location in the country. considering the watch-maker in question, i was worried about the cost, but it turns out it's going to cost me a lot less than the last time (some 5 years ago), so that's perfect. i love my students!
