I had one month on St Thomas before heading to Switzerland for training. During this time, I had to design the layout of the service center, research all of the elements, flooring, lights, cabinets, watch benches, tools and equipment, plus convince the company that all of these things are essential for the success of the service center. The climate down here is great for vacationing, lounging and water sports but a watch service center, with all of the parts and tools made from different types of metal, will rust within a day if the facility is not properly outfitted and sealed. Doing this is not cheap but absolutely necessary for protecting the investment. By the time I had to leave, orders were being placed and the intended space was gutted and construction was underway. I also finally found a place to live. The night before I was leaving for my training, I moved into my new home overlooking Hull Bay. I unloaded what belongings I had, grabbed my bags and began the long journey to Geneva.
The current state...
