8 years ago today, the world lost John B McLemore. This summer, after years of work by John's friends, the @nawccmuseum is commemorating his contributions to horology with a book and exhibit of his prolific, exquisite clock restorations. Check it out: https://t.co/DAv1ZAE1bN

John B. McLemore, an Alabamian made famous by the @stownpodcast, was fascinated by and passionate about clock restoration. Now his meticulously-restored clocks are the subject of a book and an exhibit at the National Watch & Clock Museum (@nawccmuseum). 🕰️ https://t.co/5Q7QATZ7MW

The past five days have been an astounding display of Lancaster watchmaking heritage and legacy. Thank you all for an extraordinary National Convention and Time Symposium, we couldn't have done it without you!

[Leigh Extence @LeighExtence]

@SamanthaTaghoy The horological degree is highly sought after, difficult to get onto and very relevant. It is NOT about changing a battery but covers the historical significance of clocks and watches, design, restoration and much more of a subject that without the world would come to a halt.

An evening watching Philadelphia Phillies v San Diego…
A stunning last ball win for the Phillies 7-6.

Hal has donated a large part of his wonderful skeleton clock collection to the NAWCC clock museum in Columbia, PA and whilst there to give a talk on carriage clocks during the convention who should I bump into, but Hal himself. Just wonderful.

[Leigh Extence @LeighExtence]

A special moment… some 30 years ago I was working alongside renowned horologist Derek Roberts in Kent when we held the definitive exhibition on Skeleton Clocks to coincide with Derek’s book published on the subject. We had dealings with Hal Cherry, one of the great collectors.
