I remember his watch shop but can't recall the name of it. Can't even find it in a quick search. I'll try to find the text.

Ding Dong Watch Works

From the text:

He would have had to remain silent if the man in the shop next door had not proved friendlier. It was a watch repair shop with its name painted on a signboard over the door: Ding Dong Watchworks, and when Hari came out to empty a pail of garbage into one of the big concrete disposal units built on the roadside, the man who stood at the counter, wearing a small black cap and with an eye-piece fixed to his eye, working at a minute watch that he held in the cup of his hand, looked at him and smiled. Hari smiled back.
