| Horology, or the study of clocks and watches, has been a great interest of mine for many years. I made a living repairing clocks before attending college, and have maintained an interest ever since. It's yet another of those crafts that is dying out since there are very few schools of watch repair and fewer and fewer people keep their mechanical clocks and watches running. The success of Dava Sobel's book Longitude is testimony to the fascination people have with the subject. |
| I have a modest collection of clocks and watches and am usually working on one or more projects at a time. Great pleasure is derived from working with antique tools on antique timepieces using methods developed over centuries. I am trying to compile a useful set of tips and information for the antique clock owner. |
