Antique and Vintage Clocks

It’s time to relax and slow down. For my wife and me, that means a change of scenery as we travel to our cottage in central Canada to spend the summer season with friends and family. Our summer getaway plan includes relaxing with a few good books, fishing, swimming, hiking, and sharing stories with friends and neighbors over a glass (or more) of wine.

This blog profiles my clock collection, the challenges of maintaining and repairing clocks, the joys of finding new and interesting vintage and antique clocks, and many articles of horological interest.

Since many of my posts have been written well in advance, there will be NO interruption in blog posts throughout the summer months. I will continue to maintain a steady output of articles per month. You will continue to read my posts on Tuesdays and Fridays at 6:00 am AST.

As 1960s TV variety host, lounge singer, and actor, Dean Martin used to say, “Keep those cards and letters coming.” There may be a slight delay in returning your email inquiries or responding to blog post comments, but rest assured that your questions about clocks or comments regarding any of my posts are important to me and will be answered.

As my wife and I explore central Canada, we will no doubt find interesting clocks while scouring antique stores, flea markets, and junk shops. New clock stories, new repair challenges, and perhaps the next major restoration project will be part of my journey this summer.

Our plans include a trip to The Canadian Clock Museum in Deep River, Ontario, to discover new and interesting clocks added to their collection and chat with curator Allan Symons.
