Mylapore Watch Repair Shops Navigate Challenges Amid Metro Rail Construction
Two longstanding watch repair shops on Kutchery Road in Mylapore, Zenith Watch Co and Peer Sons, continue to operate amid challenges posed by ongoing Metro Rail construction. Zenith Watch Co, established in 1954, faces difficulties as barricades hinder customer access, affecting both new and returning clients. Peer Sons, founded in 1963 and now run by the founder's son, maintains its presence despite a reduced shop size. Both businesses reflect a blend of preserving traditional craftsmanship and adapting to changing urban conditions.
