Our Field Trip

Ever met a horologist? If you have, then you know where we went on our field trip today!

Our friends from church have a clock repair shop in their home and were very kind to have us over, explain their profession to Grazzin, and show us around their shop.


Here are some of the repaired clocks, ready to go home

lots of tools are needed

Thanks to the Paulsons for a great field trip. We all learned a lot!

In case you are curious, horology is the art or science of measuring time. People interested in horology are called horologists. That term is used by people who deal professionally with timekeeping apparatus (watchmakers, clockmakers).
