»At a watchmaker’s we can buy a watch or a clock, or a watchmaker can repair one for us. In the workshop we saw wall clocks, antique clocks, watches, mantel and table-top clocks, and also cuckoo clocks. To be able to repair a clock or a watch, a watchmaker or a clockmaker needs lots of items and different tools: small and big pliers, a small hammer, and a very tiny screwdriver. If a watchmaker can’t see why the clock or the watch isn’t working, he has a magnifying glass which he puts very close to his eye. The watchmaker showed us how he opens up a clock and then winds the weights up with a key. After this it takes two days for the weights to come down and when they hit the bottom, the clock rings.« »Pri urarju lahko kupimo uro ali pa nam jo popravi. V delavnici smo videli stenske, starinske, ročne in namizne ure ter kukavice. Za popravilo ure potrebuje veliko stvari in različne predmete: klešče, manjše in velike, majhno kladivo, izvijač, čisto, čisto majhen. Če ne vidi dobro, zakaj ura ne dela, ima povečevalno steklo, ki ga da na oko. Urar nam je pokazal, kako odpre uro in potem navije uteži s ključem in potem dva dni traja, da pride dol, ko pa pride dol, ura zazvoni.«
