Meet the New Zealander mad about clocks!
from Afternoons
Last Thursday we celebrated The University of Auckland's Clocktower turning 100 by chatting to William Hamill from the University. After that conversation we got an email which said: "With regard to your interview about the Auckland University clock I'd like to advise a correction to what your guest said. He said the Art Gallery clock was made overseas, but it was made in Wellington NZ by the firm of W. Littlejohn & Son on. I've been maintaining this clock for the last 35 years." That was from a man called Michael Cryns. We wanted to know more, so we got him on the phone to chat.
