When asked about this he gave the following reply:-<\/p>\n
\u2018It was often implied that I must have a marvellous collection at home. Well No, actually, as every time I brought home a clock and loved it, someone would bring in a better one for repair shortly after, and shatter the appeal of my own!

No Tompions, Quares or Breguets as they are much too common (what other reason could there be?).<\/p>\n

I guarantee there will be something<\/span> that every single person in the room, not only has never seen before,\u00a0but will never see again in their lifetime! Or I’ll give you your money back!!\u2019<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" AGM followed by talk by Ron Rose With 52 years in the trade, Ron will talk about What a Clock Repairer Collects!
