Restoration of Time?

Thomas Leete

The first thing you notice when you walk into Mr. Leete's showroom is the sound, it's almost like rain, but not quite. It's the sound of a room full of antique clocks, mantle clocks, banjo clocks and grandfather clocks. Each one coming form a different time, some from as far back as the early 1800's some far less old. The thing they have in common is that they work now, and work well. Thanks to the hands of Thomas Leete who has a deep understanding and appreciation for these clocks. In an old barn in Moultonborough Thomas has several clocks and pieces of furniture in random stages of repair or disrepair. While paint is drying on a dining room chair he heads to his office to dig up an old reference photograph of a particular Daniel Pratt clock from 1838, and in between he deluges me with interesting facts and lessons on the mechanical workings of numerous clocks hanging in the barn or showroom. At the end of my visit I realize that I have just had a Phd. level course on the history of clocks here in America.
