The Wonder Of The Workings Of Antique Clocks

As many antique collectors and dealers will tell you, antiques afford a wonderful opportunity to go back in time. As an antique clock collector myself I've come to truly appreciate the splendor of the craftsmanship that allows antique clocks to run without batteries. Most people will appreciate the workmanship of a grandfather clock that keeps time by way of a swinging pendulum, but there are a lot of different antique clocks and each one has its own amazing way of keeping time. It's a shame that as a generation of watchmakers and clock repairers retire in their old age that many of the skills required to keep antique clocks alive are being lost.
