At the young age of 14, I started learning my fathers' trade repairing watches and clocks. My Father and Uncle taught me everything I know. Father was assigned the duties of attending to the clocks, repairing all time pieces in the castle of King Farouk of Egypt.

I am carrying on that long family tradition.

The real name for the Grandfather Clock is actually a "Floor Clock", as it stands on it's own.
