Antique Clock Exhibit on display
at Barbara Bush Branch Library
Robert (Bob) Kleeman’s antique clock collection will be on display at the Barbara Bush Branch Library
during the month of January.
Kleeman always had an interest in making and repairing things. In preparation for retirement, he moved on to making clocks. He bought a few
beginner clock repair handbooks, joined a local clock club and started
expanding his skills. Bob has been repairing clocks for almost 20 years now and
still gets great satisfaction from restoring a timepiece to its original
working condition. He has repaired all types and all ages of clocks, the oldest
ones being from the mid 1800s. He found those clocks amazingly well designed
and manufactured.
