has gloss | (noun) someone whose occupation is making or repairing clocks and watches clocksmith, clockmaker |
has gloss | eng: A clockmaker is an artisan who makes and repairs clocks. Since almost all clocks are now factory-made, most clockmakers today just repair clocks. However, originally they were master craftsmen who designed and built clocks by hand. Since modern clockmakers are required to repair antique, handmade or one-of-a-kind clocks for which parts are not available, they must have some of the design and fabrication abilities of the original craftsmen. A qualified clockmaker can typically design and make a missing piece for a clock without access to the original component. |
