After that conversation we got an email which said: "With regard to your interview about the Auckland University clock I'd like to advise a correction to what your guest said. He said the Art Gallery clock was made overseas, but it was made in Wellington NZ by the firm of W. Littlejohn & Son on. I've been maintaining this clock for the last 35 years." That was from a man called Michael Cryns. We wanted to know more, so we got him on the phone to chat.
