Let's take another trip down Memory Lane......

Today on our Facebook and Twitter pages we have another look down memory lane.

This week we've gone through the vaults and go back to the 1960s when we were back in Strait Bargate, Boston. During this time we sold Hoppers mechanical 'De Luxe' watches. Just a few months ago we came across one and decided give it some TLC by giving it to our watchmaker and after servicing the movement, replacing the glass and refurbishing the case and bracelet here is the result.... Hey Presto! A classic 1960s watch restored back to its original glory 😊⌚️ #50YearsYoung

Good as new! After its full refurbishment

 

Below is a picture of the Hoppers shop where we would have sold the Hoppers De Luxe watches. The shop at the time was located in Strait Bargate, Boston during the 1960s.

Note Currys next door with the bicycles in the window!
