Peter Cranson is from a family of clock repairers. Now based in Mt Maunganui where he trades as Peter Cranson Clock Repairs, he was brought up in Palmerston North. He and his dad did the maintenance on the city's much loved historic Hopwood Clock Tower - also known as Kerei Te Panau.
Our occasional series of interviews with repairers continues with Peter's insights into bringing clocks and watches back to life, which he's being doing since the mid 1960s.
One of his favourite assignments was repairing a battered watch owned by rugby legend Sir Colin Meads.
Lynn Freeman asked Peter Cranson about his family business - four generations repairing clocks and watches.
