IndiaA 95-year-old four-faced clock known as the McClintock clock, which had stood for nearly a century on Cleveland Street in Clearwater, Florida, underwent a comprehensive restoration after decades of exposure to Florida's harsh weather. Master horologist David H. Boyd, part of a family with generations of clockmaking expertise, led the restoration effort, spending approximately 700 hours dismantling and repairing the clock. The project involved preserving original components such as the dial, hands, and metalwork while integrating modern GPS-regulated clockworks to ensure functionality. The clock, originally built for a different era, was restored to maintain its historical appearance while adapting to contemporary needs. The restoration was completed and unveiled on July 25, 2026, highlighting both the craftsmanship of the Boyd family and the community’s appreciation for local history.
