This clock has an interesting escapement to make the pendulum swing from back to front. See escapement at top of page.

Clock at the Prescott Hotel, Ottawa
USA-ambassador-residence
This Herschede, made in Cincinati, tall clock is part of the furniture of the US ambassador residence in Ottawa. I was called to repair it and getting to run in 2009, after the new ambassador moved in. Some of the tubular bells had fallen off and it needed some oiling.
With he arrival of a new ambassador in 2014, the residence had to be repainted and the clock had to be moved. I had to return to restart the clock but this time I determined it needed a full cleaning. It is now working well and I hope nobody is going to move the clock without calling me first
Website Upgrade
My son has finally updated my website to something modern and easy to use. Now I have a place to show you pictures of all the amazing clocks I work with.
