LEslie was the local watchmaker. He was very skilful in metalwork and other skills. Each project would take at least 2 weeks to make and, being individual, commanded a premium price tag. He was now at the stage in his latest project of assembling a balance wheel into its jewelled bearing. A couple of days later he was completing the case finishing off with its attractive bevel edge. The customer was delighted when she came to pick it up - "You do excel at your work", she exclaimed putting the watch on. "It's worth every penny!". Leslie beamed with satisfaction.
