In a recent episode of the Penzcentrum CashTag series, Hantos discussed the realities of the watch repair industry, including the challenges faced by professionals in the field and the economic viability of the trade. The discussion highlighted that the high cost of professional maintenance often comes as a surprise to many watch owners who may not anticipate the long-term expenses associated with luxury mechanical movements.
