In the basement, children are surrounded by family photos, vintage jewelry and drawings, a series of watches.
The basement is Kieran Lynch\'s workshop in Pa O\'Hara.
He spends hours a day checking and repairing his watch.
Lynch, 51, was fascinated by their mechanics, who collected clocks from an early age.
He transformed his passion into a career by getting guidance from retired old watchmaker in Pittsburgh.
In the era of smartphones, Fitbits and Apple Watches, millions of people no longer rely on traditional clocks.
Lynch works on mechanical watches and more modern quartz watches.
The mechanical watch is driven by a spring, which must be wound regularly to measure the time, while the quartz watch is powered by a battery.
He prefers to deal with the challenges posed by mechanical watches, especially attracted by the complexity, size, craftsmanship and current rarity of mechanical watches.
Repairing the watch, he said, is like a detective working.
This requires common sense and keen observation. Well-
Lynch is experienced in the winding and repair of clocks and clocks, and belongs to a shrinking population. Most old-
The timer in the industry has retired and fewer people have entered the field.
He said: \"The people who do this are all old . \"
However, Mr Lynch said that tabulation and repair had become \"a strange business where old and new coexist \".
The tools used in watches and trade may come from an era when mobile phones do not exist, but in order to keep up with the times, the way of doing business has changed.
Today, most of Lynch\'s business is done online, usually buying watches through eBay or Craigslist, repairing them, and then reselling them online.
His clients range from clients in California to merchants living in China.
\"The market in one region is limited,\" he explained . \".
It is inefficient to rely solely on a geographic area of customers, and companies are best sold across the country and the world.
Some jewelry and repair shops can repair windup watches, but they are usually shipped to another place for work.
Many jewelry stores and other stores can replace batteries in quartz watches.
As people rely more and more on digital clocks, mechanical watches are becoming more and more novel.
Lynch\'s collection includes pockets and watches, early LED watches, parts for repair and repair tools.
His collection of the oldest watches dates back to the 1800 s.
Each watch links Lynch with history.
A pocket watch came from an older woman who, after studying the names inscribed on the pocket watch, found that the man with the pocket watch died in a mine disaster.
When the other watch was opened, the Masonic symbol and a photo of the young boy and girl were revealed.
The date is 1915.
Lynch often receives watches from people who think they are too old or unable to repair them.
That rarely happens, he said.
Sometimes it takes some creativity for the watch to run again.
The watch that Lynch was wearing when he bought it was flooded, but he was able to fix it and let it run.
The other watch he often wears only needs half a watch.
The dollar coin closes it.
In his studio, Lynch skillfully slid a thin knife across multiple pocket watches, opened them and started repairing them.
He opened two watches with similar surfaces but opposite interior: one is a mechanical watch and the other is a modern quartz watch.
He says he wants to have more time to focus on his work, but he spends most of his time with four children.
Although the number of watchmakers is declining over time, Lynch believes that those who are interested in the industry will continue to exist, although they mainly do business online.
He used to be a marketing consultant but found tabulation to be addictive.
\"There is a sense of accomplishment when you can get the right watch and let the Watch move,\" he said . \". Pittsburgh Post
