Gallery: Take a Trip Inside The Clockworks
David Lee has operated this Lake Bluff institution for 35 years.
David Lee of Lake Forest has been Lake Bluff’s timekeeper for 35 years fixing clock and watches while selling a few as well.
Last week Patch’s Jesse Carpender had the chance to Visit Lee’s shop—The Clockworks—and get to know Lee and his staff a little better. He gave an oral history of clock making and clocks themselves.
Today Patch is showing you how Lee does his work.

Dave is a local treasure. He's been a great retailer and craftsman. For years, we served together on the Chamber of Commerce. I can tell you that he has a real understanding of how to be both a successful mechant and an artisan.

I discovered that there was so much more to The Clockworks when we worked together on the video about his business.

Great story! And ask David to sing a little barbershop music. He is a great singer!
