Review: New York Times Article: Fingers That Turn Back the Clock

“Dimitrie Vicovanu, like a specialized surgeon, goes into the inner worlds of wristwatches, restoring the old and nonticking to near perfection.”

One of the best articles I have seen about a great watchmaker. As rare as we are it’s special when The New York Times publishes an article about a “73” year-old gentleman with magic fingers and magic eyes who came to the profession late in life.

According to the article he has a street-floor booth on West 47th Street and does repairs in a workshop in Queens.

For anyone interested in mechanical watches, this is a must read.!
