There had never been a time when Debby Duchesneau left the house with a naked wrist. For six decades, she had always worn a watch: a quick buy at the local drugstore, a random Macy’s purchase, even a gift from a friend. “I wanted to know the time, but I was never into watches,” said Ms. Duchesneau, 63. Then, early last year, her watch — a HP1 Automatic from Brew Watch Co. of New York — started losing time. “I did an online search and realized I could directly contact the owner of the watch company,” she said, adding, “I was amazed.” During the six weeks that Ms. Duchesneau, a speech-language pathologist who lives in southeastern Connecticut, had her watch in for servicing, she continued her internet explorations, delving into podcasts and discovering other small horological brands.

The first recorded labyrinth dates to the 19th century B.C., built by Egyptians near the ancient city Arsinoe to hold the sepulcher of kings and crocodiles. In the desert of Peru, the Nazca dug winding geoglyphs in the shape of birds, flora and monkeys; some of them were thought to be traversed by gods and spirits, by priests and pilgrims during ceremonies.
