Since my obsession in clocks and watches started back when I was 18, I had dreamed of owned a Cowells. It is only really in the last 10 years that, at times, I`ve been able to purchase a second hand Cowells. At the time of writing this, the new price of a 90ME is around £3450. The second hand price is substantially lower but these lathes really do hold value. Over the years I`ve had a few and normally had to sell them due to the cost of family treats (holidays, broken cars etc!). I deeply regret selling my last one which had a whole host of attachments including the wheel and pinion cutter.
