What makes it tick a clock hobbyist’s lifelong quest
William Bass, whose curiosity about clocks began at age five, builds a clock collection that now exceeds 50 working pieces. The Princeton Illinois resident has antique clocks of many sizes and styles, including a seven foot grandfather clock from 1740 and a Paris Exposition prize winning wall clock from 1873. He spends weeks antiquing in search of new pieces, and converts his chicken house into a workshop to repair and restore clocks and parts.
