Antique and Vintage Mechanical Clocks

Wishing you all health and happiness this Christmas season!

Every year, my kids stress over what to get me for Christmas. They know I’m passionate about antique clocks and spend my time restoring and repairing them. “Is there anything he needs?” they ask their mum.

Honestly, it’s the little things I really appreciate in my Christmas stocking. Kids, if you want to surprise me, just throw in a new pair of cloth gloves, a box of toothpicks, some cotton swabs, or a paintbrush, oh, and some solder (I did run out of that!) – that’s all I really need to know you’re thinking of me.

Christmas is about joy, not about extravagant gifts unless they come with love and appreciation for those we care about. So, if you’re trying to find the perfect gift for the clock lover in your family, remember – it’s the simple things that count.

I hope this wonderful time of the year touches your heart and brings joy to you and your loved ones in a special way. And if there’s a clock under the tree, consider it a timely gift (get it!), reminding you of fond memories and family gatherings filled with love, laughter, and delicious food.

Hmm, wait a minute, about that extravagant gift…..ah, just kidding!

Thanks for all your letters! I may take a little longer to reply this time of year, but I appreciate each and every one.
