It was passion, then trade and now a source of income. We are talking about glaziers, shoemakers and watchmakers in Medgidia. We can count on them
the fingers of one hand. That's because from year to year are getting harder to find. The few clients whom have longer provide source of income and keep them active.

While shoe repair workshops, weaving, shoemaking clock and put a padlock on the door, every year new companies are established, which require other trades. The technological revolution replaced the tools with computer keyboard. How necessary were these trades are in high demand trades people once One is the glazier.

But where are the craftsmen of old? These jobs will remain ... just a memory.
