M. Çağrı Gündoğdu, Ph.D., the committee assembly member of the ICOC Clockmaking and Opticianry Professional Committee, defined clock & watch making as ‘a beautiful and meaningful profession that engages with timepieces, which are not only used to measure time, the most limited resource we have as human beings, but also remind us the most important and valuable moments of our lives. Sometimes worn on our wrists, sometimes resting over our hearts, they can save a life or even a nation, and they are indispensable complements that accompany us in our living spaces.
Gündoğdu emphasized that clock and watch making is one of the rarest professions that also represents a tradition passed down from generation to generation. As clock and watch makers, he pointed out that almost all of us have been striving to continue this legacy, which we see not just as a profession but as a life journey, bound by such deep emotional connections over many years
Gündoğdu stated that there is no doubt that it is impossible to capture the meaning and significance of clock and watch making in just one day. However, he expressed his happiness at the opportunity to introduce the idea of celebrating such a day for the first time in order to create sector-specific awareness. In addition to these, he continued to express his excitement regarding their visit to Japan with the ICOC Clockmaking and Opticianry Committee just after its being accepted by the ICOC Assembly, which also has served as a milestone for the World Clock and Watch Making day to be recognized worldwide considering the fact that Japan is one of the biggest actors in terms of watch & clock imports all around the world.
