Help Your Local Watchmaker.

From The British Watch and Clock Makers' Guild,


As you are probably aware the independent watch repairer in this country
(and the rest of the world) is unable to obtain parts to repair most
brands of luxury Swiss watches, and this restrictive supply of parts
appears to be affecting more brands each year.

The result is that the customer (you) is forced to go back to the Brand
itself (through an official agent) to get the watch repaired, paying
their prices without the possibility of any other competition.

The British Watch and Clock Makers Guild and other European trade
organisations are against this situation.

CEAHR the European Confederation of Watch & Clock Repairer's
Associations (Confederation Européenne des Associations d'Horlogers
Réparateurs) are currently taking action through The Competition
Directorate of the EC.

In order that the Directorate understands the strength of feeling,
please log onto

www.ceahr.org

and sign the petition.

The choice you have is stark; either influence the EU officials by
supporting the CEAHR petition,

or risk losing the supply of any parts for any watches, this will result
in almost all watch repairs being carried out by official agents who
will charge as they please.

Please circulate this email to anyone who wears a watch.
