watchmaker
River City Clocks is run by third-generation horologist George Rowes who, like his grandfather who founded the business in 1898, makes clocks by hand.
A self-taught horologist, he restored many antique clocks and watches, which he had been collecting since the 1930s.
Swiss watch manufacturers became concerned, as there were too few horologists to service and repair all the pieces they were selling.
The average age of those working as horologists is going up and up and we aren't attracting young people in.
Michel Parigi is a master horologist who runs the Parigi watchmaking company.
