Time to slow down, relax, and enjoy a change of scenery. For my wife and me, that means packing up and heading to our cottage in central Canada to spend the summer season with family and friends.

The History and Significance of 1970s Chinese Wall Clocks

Over the years, as my clock collection has evolved and my interest in Canadian horology has deepened, I’ve found myself crossing paths with a wide range of clocks from around the world. One group that continues to spark curiosity—and conversation—is the Chinese-made mechanical wall clocks that became so common in North America during the 1960s and 1970s. These clocks are sometimes overlooked in…

One of the most common mistakes in clock maintenance is oiling a movement while it is still in the case. It seems convenient, and many people believe they are helping the clock, but in reality, you cannot properly inspect or oil a movement until it has been removed. What do you look for?

The Magic of the Zimingzhong Clock

The Science Museum in London England occasionally hosts temporary exhibits within the horology section that delve deeper into specific aspects of timekeeping, such as the influence of time on culture or the future of time measurement. In the spring of 2024, a special exhibit of Zimingzhong clocks captured my attention. For any clock enthusiast, it is a must-see. My wife and I were fortunate to…

Walter Clocks of Toronto: A Nearly Forgotten Chapter in Canadian Clockmaking

Among Canadian clocks, some names are immediately recognizable — Pequegnat, Canada Clock Company, Hamilton Clock Company, Wesclox from Peterbourough or Seth Thomas and New Haven imports sold through Canadian retailers. Others, however, tell a quieter story. Walter Clocks of Toronto belongs firmly in that second group, yet its history represents one of the last meaningful chapters of traditional…
