We at Holtzhausen believe that Clocks like Mountains are Icons of Beauty, Witnessing the Passage of Time.  Our base is here in the Boland, meaning higher country in relation to the ocean-surrounded by some of the most spectacular mountains the eye will see. Looking at these mountains looking at us,  it dawned on me that they have been bearing witness to our lives on this continent through the millennia. Not a word-just silent witness. Like a clock, standing quietly, or not so quietly, ticking away in a corner for 200-300 years.

Dwelling to Sanctuary. 
I am fascinated by mechanical movements, producing acoustic sound-be it a clock or music box. Specifically because of the deep sense of peace and ensuing reflection that a chiming clock or playing music box bring to a home. It turns the inside of your dwelling into a sanctuary... More about this another day. On our site one will find the best examples of these items-where possible in high resolution.
