The business of service and repair in Vancouver is practised by patient few. Luminary matters fall to chandelier aficionado and antique restorer Casey Scramstad. Ornamental trinkets are revived at Fabian China and Glass Repairs. At Rino’s Italian Shoe Centre, dancing heels, police work boots, and even ski boots are made from scratch. And, with patience and precision, watchmaker Jean-Jacques Maurer meticulously reassembles timepieces. Everything old is new again in MONTECRISTO.
