The Finest Horologist This Side of Tycho Crater

Dear Malcolm,

Please find enclosed your antique pocket watch—your grandfather's, as I recall?—returned in working order and no longer silent.

As I suspected, moon dust had caked the inside, gumming up the mechanism like plaque around a heart. An interminable problem when using a watch like this up here, where dust is so ubiquitous.

As a watchmaker, I suggest keeping your heirloom sealed in the hermetic case provided. But as a grandfather...

Perhaps with both clocks and hearts, there's no reason to have them if you don't intend to use them.

Yours in ticks and beats,
Jonathan Montgomery
