June 24, 2000: Enchanted Clocks of George McFadden In addition to repairing clocks people brought to his home in Winchester, McFadden produced one clock a year for his own pleasure. After his initial efforts featuring characters from well-known modern-day sources, McFadden turned his energy to clocks that illustrated elements of stories from the Bible, literature, or narratives of his own creation.
