my pa restored one for me once, paid about ?50 for the clock face, and then got it going. The sound it made was amazing.
I was only 17 at the time, and this thing (1920's) need to be rewound quite often (once every 2 days). I was too young to appreciate it
Wasn't his field, he mainly dealt in gold or antique jewelry
I can see how it would be a hobby. Something quite tranquil about a watch ticking
