The clock doc

Clock doctor, Vincent Jason, comes from a long line of clock makers. Both his father and grandfather were in the business, as well as one of his sons. Vincent is hoping his grandchildren might also take up the trade and continue the family tradition.

While the skills involved in repairing mechanical clocks and watches stem from a bygone era, Vincent says there is still a strong demand for these skills.
