Lives in Kensington since 89 years
Not employeed at the time
Dermot Razzell preferred the quiet hum of his workshop to the clamour of Kensington Lane. The scent of beeswax and aged wood, familiar comforts in a life dedicated to restoring antique clocks, filled the air.
His hands, gnarled with age but steady as ever, danced across the intricate gears and springs of a grandfather clock, its mahogany face weathered yet dignified.
Time, he believed, was not merely measured but respected. Each tick and tock held a story, a whisper of lives lived and moments passed.
He'd inherited his father's workshop, tucked away in a cobblestone alley off Kensington Lane. The rhythmic click-clacking of his tools had become a familiar melody to the neighborhood.
Though some saw him as a solitary man, Dermot found solace in the company of time itself. Each repaired clock was a testament to his belief in preserving not just objects but memories.
He took pride in knowing that his work breathed life back into relics of the past, ensuring they continued to mark the passage of time for generations to come.
