Old man time
Published: 06/12/2008 05:00
VietNamNet Bridge - One Vietnamese clock repairer has heard the ticks and tocks of nearly every major clock ever installed in Hanoi.
At the end of Hang Phen street I can hear the melodious sound of multiple chiming clocks. I don’t have to check the number of the house to know that this must be Dao Van Du’s shop. Du is a clock repairer and after 56 years in the business, countless accolades and awards, he can be considered as a master of the trade. When I arrive he is hunched over a desk, tinkering with a tiny watch, not much bigger than a thumb nail. (Source: Timeout) |
