Documentary exploring how former Royal Engineer Richard Perrett has swapped fixing tanks for watchmaking, using it not only as a way to repair watches, but also to repair himself.

After years travelling the world with the army, from Norway to Bosnia, ex-Royal Engineer Richard Perrett knew that when he left the army, he wanted a peaceful life. A move to Pembrokeshire meant he was able to swap fixing tanks for the quiet world of watchmaking. As one of only a handful of watchmakers in the UK, Richard uses watchmaking not only as a way to repair watches, but also for repairing himself. Now with a successful business, he hopes to pass on these skills to his daughter and grandchildren.
