Today On the Dogwatch we turn our attention to the appreciation of the Seiko watch, and how much satisfaction one can get from taking them apart, fixing them, and putting them together again as new. We speak with Spencer Klein at Klein Vintage Watch and discuss his journey into the watch world from the moment he traded a t-shirt for a Girard-Perregaux, some of the history of the Seiko company during its golden age, and how Spencer’s craft and business have developed into what it is today.
Before we begin, our feature for today is a dog named Sport who is a cross between a ShihTzu and Yorkshire Terrier–a Shorkie. This cross produces small and affectionate dogs that top out at about a dozen pounds, good for cuddling and laps, and for accommodating life in the big city, like Sport does in the Big Apple. Sport, like the Dogwatch, is a fan of the Michael J. Fox Foundation, and we encourage you to learn more about them and join in helping accelerate the next generation of treatments for Parkinson’s disease.
