I bought a Swatch Irony at its HQ as a teenager during a school trip to Europe.

I didn't know anything about watches and really don't, but that and a few real Swissnox blades was pretty cool for a 14 year old. I think I even was allowed to bring the blades in my carry on (pre 9/11).

Fastforward to about 10 years ago and I notice that the watch is no longer working... Well the stop watch works but the minutes and hours arms don't function. They will turn with the knob to set the time. I realize Swatch doesn't repair any of their watches and I haven't found a watch repairman willing to crack it open and see the matter.

Obviously this is more of a sentimental attachment for me, but I would like to see it working. Any tips, so should I suggestions, black magic?

I did find this website that claims to repair swatches, but I've yet to hear a response from them. http://www.plastic-repair.com/prices.html

You anywhere close to Terre Haute? Young guy (owner?) very knowledgeable specializes in clocks but is a skilled watch-smith. He regulated my new watch to -2minutes a month.

From near Jasper but overseas at the moment. I'll reach out to the shop for opinions and a possible turnaround time when I get back.
