Watchmaker of Moldova

Time is always with us. It happens, time flies like the wind, but it can move like a little snail. Since ancient times it is known the time can be measured, and this measuring instrument is clocks.

The earliest clocks were made by human hands from wood. It was an ordinary wooden sticks that people stuck in the ground, it was the very first sundial. 

Centuries passed since and the clock has become more difficult and more accurately. Now we are using metal and plastic, electronic and mechanical, hand and wall clocks. But what about the wooden done clocks? Is this lovely, lively, warm material will not be able to give us beauty and time?

It is possible! 

Since my childhood I was very fond of mechanics. Being 5 years old, I was interested in all that moves and turns, that was dismantled and broken, including the clock. It was a big adventure for me to create the clock, to construct it and to analyze again and again. 

Years passed, I didn’t stop be interested in creating wooden things. One day I decided to combine my old interests, mechanics and wood. So that was the time my first fully mechanical clock made of wood. 

Wooden clock mechanism is hand made. Production time takes one month and may be more. 

A lot of attention I paid to the quality of wood used, the selection and processing. For the mechanism use only hardwoods: oak, walnut, beech, cherry. The decoration is done from exotic kind of wood: merbau, wenge, mahogany. 

My personal hand made clocks are done to be used with pleasure. Their new owners will use it for many decades, and the clocks will not lose its main purpose – clocks will show the time. Clock with the slow pace of the pendulum and the pleasant sound of the wooden mechanism, will always attract attention and brighten up any interior. 

You will constantly look at them, they will constantly amaze your guests, friends and relatives, because they had never seen anything like it.
