CLASSIFIED — MECHANISMS & MOTION WANTED: Qualified horologist to service one (1) Thursday. Must be experienced with multi-axis complications. Nine tasks threaded through twenty-four stations. Some bearings already past the escapement. Candle sector requires delicate hand— the spring is fifty years wound. Bell sector runs fast, always has. Chair sector: new installation, high torque, unfamiliar calibration. Handle with confidence you do not yet possess. Evening gears mesh only if morning gears release. Northerly crosswind expected; brace the mainspring. Apply in person. No tools provided. You will use your hands and your hours and nothing else.
