		"The Clockmaker," which is based on a novel by Georges Simenon, begins with the report of a murder and ends as the portrait of a personality.
		What's unusual about "The Clockmaker," though, is its angle of attention: It's not about the killer, but about the killer's father.
		But "The Clockmaker" is much too good to do that; it transcends the crime genre and becomes a totally original work.

	Collecting Antique Clocks: The oldest surviving clock by a Welsh clockmaker?

		At this early period it is safe to say that all country clockmakers were multi-skilled workers in metal, and most clockmakers spent most of their time not in making clocks, but in mending almost anything made of metal.

		Bertrand Tavernier's 1973 filmmaking debut, The Clockmaker, is a strikingly sophisticated piece of cinema.
		In the otherwise quiet town of Lyons, the promptings of a sympathetic police commissioner (Jean Rochefort) and a superficial media add to the burden on Noiret's shoulders.
		The Clockmaker is Tavernier's first triumph, an exquisite exercise in emotional and ambient authenticity, and a subtle study of the parallels between parenting and government.

		The main problem with this method was that the technology of the early 1700s had yet to produce a clock that would run accurately over a period of days, let alone the weeks and months involved in ocean voyages.
		If clockmakers couldn't guarantee that their clocks kept accurate time on land, the difficulties of building a clock that would remain trustworthy on board a ship seemed insurmountable, considering the added stresses of nautical temperature extremes, corrosive saltwater and the tossing of a ship's deck in rough seas.
		Unfortunately for the enterprising clockmaker, he found that he suddenly faced competition for the enormous cash prize.

	Magazine Antiques: Thomas Richards, clockmaker? - Collectors' Notes - clock seller, possible clockmaker - Biography
		Willard's advertisement alone has earned Thomas Richards mention in histories of American clockmaking, and Steven Petrucelli and Kenneth A. Sposato illustrate a Boston banjo clock inscribed "Warranted and Made for Thomas Richards, New York" in American Banjo Clocks (Adams Brown, Cranbury, New Jersey 1995, p.96).
		There is other evidence that Richards sold clocks and watches, but illustrated here is a tall clock that not only has his name painted on the dial but also stamped on the front plate of the brass works.
		It was not unusual for a retailer to place his name on a clock dial, but the stamp on the works is convincing evidence that Richards actually made clocks, for it is unlikely that an established clockmaker would have marked works made by another.

		The Clockmaker stars Philippe Noiret, Tavernier's onscreen alter ego, as a quiet watchmaker forced to retreat from his self-imposed solitude and face the messy and painful world when his son is arrested for murder.
		Tavernier is superb at combining politics and philosophy in trying to solve soul-searching dilemmas, and his choice of actors is always effective for physical and emotional ballast.
		We soon learn that he has no comprehension of his son, period, despite the fact that the son still lives at home and that they are on relatively good terms.

	Godfrey Lenhart - Clockmaker
		From her research she states that clockmaking in the 1770's was a highly skilled occupation and the clockmaker held a place in high esteem in the community, such as was given to medical doctors and ministers, certainly above flsmiths and carpenters.
		She goes on to state that although a clock is fairly simple in the way it works, at that time a clockmaker most likely apprenticed for years and had to understand the forces of physics, engineering, mathematics, astronomy and artisan skills necessary to construct a clock.
		The average citizen of early rural Penna. did not have a formal education and the prime occupation was that of farmer.
