"My parents were active in the jewelry business and they ran a jewelry shop for almost 5 decades. My father, who is the 3rd generation Master Watchmaker, took over the shop from his parents, who in turn took over the shop from their parents. My father is still working on pocketwatches, wristwatches and wall clocks today. It makes me a 4th generation goldsmith and watchmaker....and maybe one day my daughter or my son will feel the same urge and become the 5th generation watchmakers/goldsmiths in line. Only time will tell."

Abel,

I really like the introduction page. The L. Court-Knaepen is wonderful. I hope your son and/or daughter might find the family tradition as fascinating as you did.
