I‘ve never trained so little in my adult past, as I‘ve trained under the forever lockdown. Less than 100km of running a week would’ve been unthinkable. I‘ve gotten unfit, but also the idleness has clouded my mind. In December I decided to address this.
I thought I would take up lock picking. This is enjoyable, but a) I’m just not very good at it, and b) It‘s a hobby, and I was trying to fill 40+ hours a week.
This brings me to the point of this thread. If you‘re like me, and looking for something to do, I recommend watchmaking.
It’s immediately interesting, and after a few 40-hour weeks, you’ll be skilled enough to disassemble and reassemble a pocket watch. There are substantial expenses, but they’re not crazy, and so far, it’s been worth it for me at least .
They are like magical little insects, the watch movements. They have 8-bit souls. You disassemble them, clean them, discover the broken parts, and embark upon crazy ebay journeys to find the transplant organs they need to live again.
watch movements are intensely aesthetic things, which is one reason I recommend this occupation. They demand precision engineering and cleverness, but also the best movements are beautiful. Thus the best are made in francophone Switzerland
If you’re trying to fill hours in a week, have kids. I haven’t had an hour to myself since 2015.
