Florida's 95-year-old four-faced clock restored after 700 hours of expert work

A historic four-faced clock in Clearwater, Florida, has been fully restored after a painstaking 700-hour effort by clockmaker David H. Boyd. The 95-year-old timepiece had spent decades outdoors before undergoing the extensive restoration process.

The restored landmark has now been reinstalled on Cleveland Street, where it once again serves the community. The project is seen as a way of connecting Clearwater's historical heritage with modern-day functionality.
