• Upcoming updates
    Over the next couple of weeks we will be performing software updates on the forum. These will be completed in small steps as we upgrade individual software addons. You might occasionally see a maintenance message that will last a few minutes at most.

    If we anticipate an update will take more than a few minutes, we'll put up a notice with estimated time.

    Thank you!

A query from a friend:

"My sister inherited a chatelaine watch from our grandmother. It is like a pocket watch, is about 1.5 inches in diameter. It dates from the 1920's when grandpa gave it to grandma, and it doesn't work. Apparently, there is no one in Wichita who works on watches, so I wanted to ask if you did so, and if not, know of anyone who does."

Any suggestions?

Check on the business directory. You may even be able to find someone near your location.

Thanks, I remembered there being a business directory here somewhere, but couldn't find it. I did
a search and turned up two clock shops in Kansas, not in Wichita, but no watch repair shops in Kansas
at all.

Perhaps the thing to do is to mail it off to somebody.

Here is a link to someone that may be able to point you in the right direction.
