Watchmakers ranks dwindle despite demand BY DAVID WILLIAMS, SCRIPPS HOWARD
Chris Amen and Floyd Fiveash, both 50 ish, are watchmakers at Mednikow jewelry store. Which is to say, they are young men in a profession that seems to have been left behind by - irony of ironies - time itself. 'It's almost getting to be an epidemic,' said Amen of the national dearth of trained experts to repair and maintain timepieces that can cost from $3,000 to more than $100,000 and contain up to 400 parts, some small as specks of dust and thin as strands of hair.------------------------------------------- posted 11:34 AM :: reference link ::
