๐๐๐ฃ๐๐ก๐ค๐ง๐ ๐ผ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ง๐๐๐๐๐ฉ๐๐ค๐ฃ: A dying trade, hidden away in a Surrey garden workshop...
This week, our founder Marco spent some time catching up with one of our ๐น๐ผ๐ป๐ด-๐๐๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐น๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ๐น๐ผ๐ฟ๐ฑ๐, who kindly invited us into his workshop to share a passion that's been part of his life since the late 1970s.
Originally from Poland, he learned the art of ๐๐ฎ๐๐ฐ๐ต๐บ๐ฎ๐ธ๐ถ๐ป๐ด from his father and has spent decades repairing, restoring and working on timepieces with remarkable skill and precision.
As we looked around the workshop, surrounded by specialist tools, machinery and tiny components, it was impossible not to appreciate the craftsmanship involved. Sadly, it's also a trade that is becoming increasingly rare.

At PropertyZen, we believe in deep routed relationships, and this was one of those rewarding experiences we don't take for granted!
