![]() ![]() I know there’s a couple of watchmakers on here and if you have the time, I’d really appreciate your input. ![]() I’m loath for this to be anything other than my daughters choice, so any tips on encouraging her enough to be supportive, whilst being remote enough to not be forcing her into something she might not fully enjoy would be appreciated. I’ll be the first to admit, I’m pretty rubbish at being a Father. I suppose another aspect of this is the risk that I’m wanting to live out my own failed fantasies through my daughter, (as a lot of parents end up doing with their own children). What subjects should my daughter be concentrating on at school? As it stands, we try and focus her attention on Maths, English and the Science’s, although she’s also in the top set for French. Whilst I’ve always believed it’s better to do something that you enjoy rather than something that pays well, could my daughter earn a reasonable living off of this? ![]() How open is this industry to girls, especially mixed race girls? Is it generally considered to be a pleasant industry to work in? Is horology a good career choice, especially thinking long term? This would be handy as the BHI at Newark is only 30 miles down the road from us. Whilst my daughters interest in watches seems to stem more from a design aspect as opposed to the history of the brand or the micro engineering of their manufacture, she has expressed interest in the idea of a career in horology. This interest is starting to rub off on my 11yr old daughter who has her own Mondaine Swiss railway watch and a beautiful late 1930’s Breguet ladies dress watch, (both were her ideas / choices for presents). I’ve had a keen interest in watches since junior school and for my sins, I have more watches than days in the month, (mainly 1930’s-1960’s pieces). ![]()
