Watches of Ireland

Dublin sells watches from behind counters that also weigh antique silver, which tells you what kind of shop to expect. Weir & Sons is a Dublin jeweler dealing in fine jewellery, watches, antique silver. Dingle Crystal hand-cuts Irish crystal in a family workshop founded by master cutter Sean Daly in 1999. Jerpoint Glass has blown Irish glass by hand at its Stoneyford studio since 1979. The crystal makers belong on this plate for the same reason: a hand-cut rim is a timekeeper's discipline applied to glass. Buy the watch for the movement and the crystal for the rim, since each trade prices exactly that.
