A while back I went to a horologist to put new batteries in my wrist watches. He looked like a stereotypical watchmaker -- eyes squinting behind horn rimmed glasses sitting on the tip of his nose. I thought it was quite amusing that he can tell people he's a horologist...betting that some people would have raised eyebrows wondering what he was telling them! " You're a hor-what?"
