January 13, 1936

Exactly 80 years ago today, our grandfather entered his first watch repair in his new business. We’re not sure how long the business was actually open before this first entry, but seeing that it was on the 13th day of the month, we were curious to know what day of the week it was: it was a Monday. No matter how superstitious one may be, after 80 years we think 13 is a pretty lucky number for us.
