One evening, a strange man brings him a very special watch to repair...

Fabrique Fantastique

I've been working closely and very pleasantly with the crew at all-round animation and production studio Fabrique Fantastique who are hard at work doing compositing and coloring on Ticking Away.

Here's them looking rather photogenic.
