If your local cable TV system offers the NHK channel, look for “Japanology Plus,” made 1-3-24, showing a watch and clock repairman who is over a century old and still going strong. He operates on the idea that there is no watch or clock that cannot be brought back to life.

And not just him! There are also “Active Seniors” who are inventors, computer coders, and cosmetics dealers!
