Gastown Steam Clock maker visits B.C. gallery, recalls time living in Surrey
The maker of Gastown’s famous steam clock says some of the best years of his life were in Surrey.
Little more than a decade later, in 1977, Saunders was commissioned to make the steam clock that would make him famous. On Saturday , Saunders travelled back to Surrey to see “Just Time,” an art show focused on time and clocks at Newton Cultural Centre. Some of the art was created by Delta-based Theresa Moleski“I bought the two that I like the most, hand-painted art, oil on canvas, and I collect those as a hobby,” explained Saunders, who lives and still works as a horologist in Richmond, with his Landmark Clocks International.
