Seeing as I've picked up a few new followers (hello and thank you!) I thought I should re-introduce myself. I'm watchmaker, restorer and historian. This is me in our workshop working on our littlest vintage 6mm lathe called Maus as she’s small, cute and German 🐭. 📸 India Hobson

Okay, so I’ve been finding it really hard to motivate myself on Twitter recently. Apologies to anyone I’ve not responded to. I’ve been working with some amazing people on a book project recently which is too lovely not to share so apologies in advance for all the book posts! ❤️.

I will forever stand by this. I didn’t finish school and I don’t have an undergraduate degree. I run my own business and still ended up doing a PhD. Not everyone thrives in the same learning environment.
"I advise young people to never feel pressured to go to university. It’s not right for everyone. You can have an incredibly successful career after serving an apprenticeship or studying a vocational course." @DrStruthers
