I love the way clocks bring back memories of days gone by. My grandfather was a lover of clocks and the house was full of them. They were set to go off at different times so he could hear them all. That made sleeping at my grandparents house quite interesting and very frustrating.<br /><br />There is also something very comforting about hear the chimes of these old clocks.
