Hoarding? I am a second generation watchmaker, having been involved in the craft for over half a century. My late father before me was a watchmaker for 56 years. When he passed away, I added his accumulation to my accumulation, so now about half my shop is parts, project watches, donors, discarded projects, etc. My heirs are in for a real challenge. What to do with all that stuff. I recently needed an obsolete rotor post for a Bulova gent’s automatic. My supplier couldn’t supply one. I went to my stash and found a donor with a good rotor post which I used. Sometime later, I was going through my Bulova parts, and found I had THREE of these rotor posts, NOS, still in the factory package! I’m more of an accumulator than a hoarder.
