4. Visit to a Horology Museum: Treat your grandpa to a visit to a horology museum or an exhibition showcasing antique watches and clocks. This will provide him with an opportunity to immerse himself in his passion and learn from the craftsmanship of earlier times. Take the time to enjoy and explore these exhibits together.

5. Engraved Watch or Clock: Consider having a watch or clock engraved with a special message or your grandpa's initials. This personal touch adds sentimental value to the gift and serves as a reminder of your appreciation for his passion and dedication to watchmaking and clock restoration.
