·I wondered if anyone had come across Hands of Time by Rebecca Struthers? It’s a history of timekeeping by a watchmaker who is based in Birmingham in the UK. If you’re in the UK, you can hear it serialised on Radio 4 and BBC Sounds. I heard the first part this morning. I was struck by how beautifully she described watchmaking, and also her statement that it’s on an “endangered” list of crafts, at least in Britain. We must honour and treasure our watchmakers!
