February 9th, 2009 · No Comments

What is a watchmaker without perfect eyes? Good eyesight is absolutely important if you are or aspire to be good watchmakers. While dealing with the delicate machinery in watches an eye for detail is what sets you apart from other watchmakers. How can you ensure that your eyes and vision is perfect? Of course, going to an eye specialist is one of the answers. However, what precautions do you, as a watchmaker, take in order to ensure that your eyes stay safe?

Safety GlassesYes, safety glasses are a great option for watchmakers who work for long hours with watches. Small things like the main spring can fly with great speeds causing harm to the eyes. Also, while working on the lathe when polishing or turning, small pieces of metal keep flying at random. Imagine what would happen if one of these hits your retina? Your eyes can be temporarily for permanently damaged. What is the need to take such a risk? All you need is a pair of these economically priced safety glasses and do away with your worries. These safety glasses are shaped in a manner that they entirely cover your eyes. Made from high grade and clear plastic, the glasses have the ability to withstand the high-speed ricocheting of small metal pieces, thereby protecting your eyes. Safety glasses are also recommended while making any kind of bracelet alterations as the small spring pins that fit the bracelet can fly too.

Your eyes are priceless! It is the moral duty of each person, working in an atmosphere where metal particles fly, to protect his/her eyes. This is because eyes are most vulnerable to these small flying rockets. All watchmakers should make it a habit to wear safety glasses while working with watches or related accessories. After all, “Precaution is better than cure.”
