This summer i am going to Gem City College and taking watch making and repair and then after that i'm taking jewelry. just wondering is there a high demand in this field and also can a person make good money on it. i want to do this because it interests me and i love doing it.

Congrats!  Watchmaking can be an incredibly rewarding profession, and there is a shortage of qualified watchmakers. If you love what you do, you will never regret your choice.

Hope his table is not always that clean and organized (just for this video presentation). Otherwise, it would just mean he has no jobs to do.

@ishouldplayzelda But remember- mechanical watches are machines, and must be maintained.

[PhantomMigKiller]

@ishouldplayzelda Because it is based on the oscillation of certain atoms. I has nothing to do with nuclear energy as it is generally understood.

[John27346]

GPS sats use atomic clocks to calculate their position in the sky as far as I know. Atomic watches set their time with atomic clocks also. I don't know what atomic clocks the sats use.

[ishouldplayzelda]

so they're kinda like a gps but without satelites...

[John27346]

They synchronise a few times a day with the signals from atomic clocks around the world. My area is served by the clock in Anthorn, Wales or Frankfurt, Germany.

[ishouldplayzelda]

why are they called "atomic" anyway?

[John27346]

It may not be important to know the exact second but the atomic quartz does not need to be adjusted over years, which is very useful. You are comparing beer and champagne. Mechanicals are champagne. I share your admiration for the craft.

[ishouldplayzelda]

I also don't care much for the super accuracy, I mean who really needs to know the exact second of the exact minute of each day???

[ishouldplayzelda]

I didn't know you had both, If you'd said that earlier then this argument wouldve been avoided. I thought you were a technophile that only uses electronics. I don't like quartz because the only ones I've ever gotten were extremely cheap (I grew up in the poorest house In the neighborhood) and they're not much fun to dissasemble because there isn't much of anything in them that's fun to tinker with or look at. Machines have always fascinated me and if there's no mechanism, its nothing to me.
