With many minute moving parts, repairing and keeping a timepiece maintained is not easy feat. The work requires precision, muscle memory and dedication. The craft of a horologist is a dying art in the modern world, with few remaining artisans dedicated to the upkeep of analogue watches and clocks. Wah Sang Brothers, a watch shop in the Klang area is one such remaining outlet, withstanding the test of time since the 1920s. Robert Lee, the current operator of Wah Sang Brothers joins us on this week’s I Love KL to recall the tale of Wah Sang Brothers and how it has stayed afloat after all these years.
