I
have
a
vintage
Ernest
Borel
wristwatch
I
bought
myself
as
a
reward
for
finishing
grad
school
years
ago.
But
it
never
worked
right—the
seconds
hand
would
just
stop,
for
no
discernible
reason,
at
random
intervals.
Sometimes
it
would
run
for
nearly
a
full
day,
other
times
it
would
stop
after
just
ten
minutes
or
so.
When
I
lived
in
Florida,
I
took
it
to
several
places
trying
to
get
it
fixed;
none
of
them
got
it
right,
so
I
just
put
it
in
a
drawer
and
forgot
about
it
for
years.
Then
last
year
I
heard
about
Tigges
from
a
friend
of
mine
who
got
a
watch
crystal
replaced
there.
I
figured
I
would
give
them
a
shot;
if
a
shop
with
their
reputation
couldn't
fix
the
watch,
then
maybe
it
just
couldn't
be
fixed.
Their
first
idea,
that
the
seconds
hand
was
bent
at
the
tip
and
was
getting
caught
on
the
minutes
hand,
didn't
pan
out,
but
after
a
couple
of
follow-up
visits
(at
no
extra
charge,
of
course),
they
actually
got
it
running.
It's
been
going
strong
for
a
full
month
now,
with
no
problems.
If
you've
got
a
vintage
timepiece
that's
giving
you
trouble,
I
cannot
recommend
Tigges
highly
enough.
They
do
great
work,
they
stand
behind
everything
they
fix,
and
they're
pleasant
people
to
deal
with.
Sure,
their
hours
could
be
more
accommodating,
but
it's
a
family-run
shop,
and
you
can't
argue
with
their
results.
Enthusiastically
recommended.
