Luther Dolan never understood the fuss over ornate clocks.
While others marveled at their intricate gears and delicate hands, he found solace in simpler mechanisms - the steady tick of a well-made pendulum clock, the reliable rhythm of a grandfather clock's chime.
His workshop, tucked away on a quiet side street in Loirent, was filled with the tools of his trade: sturdy hammers, precise screwdrivers, and an array of cogs and springs.
Luther had inherited the workshop from his father, a man who believed that timekeeping was more than just a craft; it was a responsibility.
He instilled in Luther the importance of accuracy and dependability, principles that guided Luther's every repair.
While he appreciated the artistry of some clocks, Luther found true satisfaction in ensuring they functioned flawlessly. He took pride in knowing that his work helped people keep track of their lives, their appointments, and their precious moments.
Beyond his workshop, Luther was a pillar of his community.
He volunteered at the local orphanage, mending broken toys and teaching children basic carpentry skills.
He believed in sharing his knowledge and skills with others, seeing it as a way to connect with people and make a difference.
