I was only ten years old when I took a watch to pieces (naturally, I could not put it back together). A few years later I managed to put watched together, though now, looking back, I can see that it was a kind of rough work. The, I forgot about watches for decades. I trained to be a locksmith and worked as one for five years. My years of practice and education in the skill still these days provide base on how to touch various tools and work on various material.

Later on I went to high school, too, where I also graduated and went on learning at collage where I studied to be a teacher.  After working as a teacher for many decades, in December 2010, at the year of sixty, I retired.

I was consciously preparing myself for my years in retirement: I got back to my childhood hobby: watches.  In the past three or four years, I began collecting them again, and shortly I specialized on Hungarian watches. Watched made by the 'Óragyár', the 'Danuvia' and the 'MOM', their variegation fascinate me, give me a lot of joy. I began preparing to fix them: I bought books, tools, if I could original old one.  

I want to reconstruct them in the best possible shape. Now I have around 4-500 watches, of course, I have many of the same type, too. This means parts for the one I want to fix. I have reconstructed, fixed and cleaned around 200 by now.  

If I am asked why I love watched, I would say I love every single one of them for another reason:

I like watches made by the 'Óragyár' for their precision, their clocks for the beauty.

I respect the watches made by the 'Danuvia' for those people who made them and who worked hard on reinstalling Hungarian industry.

During the forty years when watched were made at MOM, they manufactured a great variety of alarm clocks.

These watches are essential part of Hungarian industry history.

I am honoured that now I can show my watches to the public.
