Intro
After watching many Wristwatch Revival videos on Youtube I thought I would try my hand at Horology
, the study of time and timekeeping devices.
As very much a beginner, I plan on trying the simplest thing possible to start and just assembling a wristwatch from its component parts, and if successful, will look into stripping down and servicing the movement.
