Introduction of a pigeon clock collector

[Oldpigeonclocks]

As a new member I will first introduce myself. My name is Gerwin Basch

and I live in the Netherlands.

 

My hobby is restoring and collecting pigeon clocks.

 

My grandfather started selling pigeon clocks right after WW2. In the

Netherlands there were only a few clocks left, so he started buying them

in Belgium and selling them in the Netherlands. Later he made many inventions

to improve pigeon clocks, but unfortunately he died very young.

 

My father than took over the company and later became sole agent for Benzing

in the Netherlands.

 

I have studied watchmaker, and worked a year in the Benzing factory but started

a company with plastic cards, www.unipas.nl

 

As a hobby I started restoring old pigeon clocks and later I started collecting.

 

At this moment I have in my pigeon clock museum about 250 different clocks from

all over the world. Most of the time however my museum travels.

 

This year I will be at the historical stand at the Olympiade in Dortmund where

I am invited by the German Union.

 

Also, every year I have my own stand in Blackpool where I show different clocks every year.

 

To keep my hobby affordable I also sell clocks and do service to Junior clocks. People who

have met me in Blackpool will know what I am talking about. I think I have a very good

name in this business :-)

 

I hope I will find some new clocks through this forum, and maybe I will be able to help

some people who have problems with there clocks.

 

If you want to see some old clocks, you can always visit my website www.pigeonclocks.com

 

Regards,

Gerwin

Hi Gerwin, I bought a t3 from you 2 years ago in Blackpool. It was a very good purchase.
