Becoming an Amatuer Watchmaker: Servicing a Vintage Elgin Linen Watch

Last year I dramatically fell into the world of watchmaking. I’ve often been mildly interested in watches and how they work but just assumed it was something too hard to do. I don’t remember where it started exactly this time, somewhere between Nat and I just deciding to try a DIY watchmaking kit or getting lost in the Wristwatch Revival YouTube videos, but when I say dramatically fell into the world, it’s not an exaggeration.
