Clocks I've Worked On

It says in my bio that I'm an amateur horologist... but what exactly is a horologist? Pretty much anyone who makes or repairs clocks, and that's me! I found an antique wall clock at a thrift store, and that's where it all started. I loved the sound and I got it working, and it's still running on the wall in my bedroom--could you sleep with a ticking clock in your room? It's just background noise for me. I've found a few more since then and have repaired and restored them to good working condition. Sometimes it's easy, sometimes it's a little more challenging, but it's always fun to learn. Check out the clocks I've fixed up so far! Do you have a favorite?
