Searching for horologist returns a page of fucking astrologers

Aaron PrivenI’m sure the intention was to give a sort of Doctor Who Time Lord vibe, and sometimes I get that, but most of the time I end up imagining the M is upside down and that gives a different vibe entirely #AlbanyCA #sfba #sign #retail #horology #horologist
bignoseI'm not. But I thoroughly enjoyed Mark Forsyth's book _The Horologicon_ https://www.vocabulary.com/articles/dogeared/the-horologicon-a-days-jaunt-through-the-lost-words-of-the-english-language/ which is a lot of time-keeping fun.
Which I was given after I mentioned I was fascinated by Dava Sobel's book _Longitude_ http://www.davasobel.com/books-by-dava-sobel/longitude which taught me the word #horologist.
So, I appreciate the #horology craft, @Melissabeartrix.

Pope Bob the UnsaneDo I know any #horologists?
Someone with watchmaking tools that I can come borrow, or maybe some advice for basic low-level purchases?
I'm resisting the urge to do the buy once cry once thing and getting the over-hyped swiss screwdrivers that are like $150.... (for a set of 9...)
Cher TailorRandomly thinking about that gag in the Pirates of the Caribbean movie (Dead Men Tell No Tales) where every time someone introduces Carina as a horologist (science of measuring time and making timepieces), pirates get all bashful like "ah, o-of course" and assume it's a sex thing.
QuirkyFilmsIf you're a fan of #JamesBond and also of watches like myself, then you'll get a kick out of seeing #DanielCraig show some of his #Omega collection and the stories behind them in this great #esquire interview.

Melissa BearTrix 🏳️⚧️Today I have put on a proper watch ... I don't do this much, and as a watch maker I should wear a watch more often ... Giggles
It's a mechanic movement, the ticking is beautiful and calming
