You guys are all lucky you have 1) offices, and 2) macs. I live in a Windows 2000/95 run school building.

As a watchmaker my *office* is a little bit different from everyone else's.

Here's a pic of my *home office*, which is the same as my one at work, only neater ;)

I like all the picts of people's offices. I'll have a new office in a couple days after I'm through moving (finally leaving Los Angeles again, and hopefully for good). I like the natural disaster picts too... someone should start a thread dedicated to that. :)

Actally, I don't make watches at all, I just repair them. Watchmaker is just a generic term for those of us that repair them.

There are a few people who do make almost every part by hand - true watchmakers - but they are very few and far between. Probably less than 20 worldwide with the skills, knowledge, capability and marketing/business acumen to make a go of it.

Here are a few who qualify....

A very neat, everything in its place type of office. I'm in awe of your profession, such intricate and detailed work. Nice that you let us see into your world.

I work as a CSR, so my cube is my home 8 hours a day, 5 days a week. I've barely decorated it, but it gets the job done.

Excuse the awfully blurry camera-phone pics, it's the best I could do for now..
