A third concerned The Repair Shop goer demanded: "Where the hell is Steve at?"A fourth even tagged Steve himself, requesting for an update, writing: "Where's @stevefletcher.clocks?," along with a crying face emoji.
It is clear that Steve offers a first-class service, having earned a qualification from a British Horological Institute college course back in 1973. His experience with timepieces is evidently second to none.
Back in 2020, his son Fred, joined the clockmaker in his workshop as an apprentice, readying to take over the family business some day. He did this while also studying science and engineering at college.
It wasn't until 2022, that Fred's watchmaker son appeared alongside him as a skilled clock restorer on The Repair Shop with the two join forces to fix up the biggest time piece of all time. But with neither of them in the first look poster, it's a wonder if they'll make an appearance or not.
