The march of time “Hickory Dickory dock, the Mouse ran up the clock.” That bit’s true. There’s the mouse perched on the clock. “No idea how it got there,” laughed Michael Cox, retired watchmaker and benefactor of the Western Bay Museum’s clock and watch collection.
“A bit of mischief I suspect.” “The clock struck one, the mouse ran down.” That bit is nonsense because the clock has gone seven and the mouse is still there. For all the museum’s timepieces, it’s still difficult to get the right time, because
few, if any, of the watches and clocks work. “They’re old and have done their time,” said Cox. Then there’s the party piece – a German Black Forest cuckoo clock. It’s now on permanent display at the museum and the cuckoo performs on request. The
clocks weights that drive the movement are adjusted, the hands are physically swerved to near the hour, and you await the cuckoo. Read more about the cuckoo clock and the career watchman on pages 14-15. Photo / David Hall
