Alright, look. The watchmaking industry is in a tight spot. In the states, there were three SAWTA/WOSTEP schools until last year. Due to low attendance, one of the schools closed. So now there's two left. The new class of students at the Seattle school came into our shop for a tour today - and there's only five students...

This is a program that is sponsored and funded by Rolex because they can't find enough people the the states to work on their watches. If more young people don't start training to become watchmakers, we're gonna lose the watchmaking industry in America. That means sending your mechanical watch to Switzerland every seven-ten years for service.

not to mention - the class was five white dudes, we need more diversity...
