The Clocks of Abel Witwer

Description

In a quiet meadow along the banks of the Cocalico Creek, in a religious community established in 1732, Abel Witwer labored as a clockmaker, watchmaker, and a woodworker. Though he remains unknown by many, Witwer was one of seven clockmakers within the Ephrata Cloister. His clocks are considered to be excellent products, reflecting the skill and care he put into his work. Not much is known about Abel Witwer or the clocks he produced. This book seeks to offer some insight, including a look at what may be the very first clock he made.
