Hi Everyone

Some news for me when I have finished my course. I have been offered a place by someone at Breitling to work at a Breitling
certified workshop to get some experience on their watches although this company also repairs other brands as well I am happy at this because I learn to work on all movements by different brands. As I said hopefully if it all goes together I will be working their for two years in the uk to gain experience But I will still be working for my sponsor after the two years and setting up a workshop. As I said it is nearly all sorted but I just have to confirm this with all parties involved and I still have about a year and half left at watchmaking school first. But It looks a nice workshop and since they have 6 watchmakers I will hopefully learn a great deal with them and I can't wait to start with them. As my sponsor said although I will have learnt a lot at the school I still need to learn to be able to repair them confidently and thankfully someone at Breitling has got me a place at their certified workshop.
So I am very existed for the future.
