Introduction :
Since his first purchase of a mantle clock in 1965, Jim Connell has amassed a large collection of clocks of all types with an emphasis on those with a Canadian origin. As his collection and knowledge grew, Jim prepared and presented numerous articles, talks and displays on Canadian clocks and their history. He is the respected author of the Charlton Standard Catalogue of Canadian Clocks and he co-authored Early Canadian Timekeepers and The Canada and Hamilton Clock Companies with Jane Varkaris. Jim has served as President of the Toronto Chapter and also served as a Director of the National Association of Watch and Clock Collectors from 1987 to 1991.
