#Resist The Siren Song Of Only Using Your Smartphone or- Horrors! -Getting a Smart Watch

[marzipanandminutiae]

Sorry if this is intrusive, but have you tried Watertown Watch and Clock Repair? They were recommended to me by a local jeweler and they're only about a 15-20 minute walk from the last stop of the MBTA 73 bus, so they might be worth a shot. Depending on the size of your clock, that might be still be too far from transit, of course.

No no, I appreciate the advice!

It's a very small clock; fits in my work satchel. But that may still be a rather tricky odyssey depending on how complicated getting the 73 is for me- I already have to walk a mile to my nearest T stop for the train and several buses. It may end up as a car-necessary trip despite being not that far from me geographically.

Curse this anti-mechanical-clock society driving horlogists out of business until only a few are left and they're all very far-flung!

(There IS at least one place in the city proper that claims to repair antique clocks, but all of their reviews are only for replacing batteries/crystals on modern wristwatches. So...disinclined to take my clock to them.)
