The Clock Winder's Watch
Night after night the city's clock winder sets every tower face true against a wristwatch that quietly died last spring. Tonight a small box is tied to the belfry door — a watch inside, wound and set, from the old watchmaker who times her rounds.
Why this works on camera
Clockwork macro and belfry lamplight — timekeeping becomes an exchange of quiet attention.
What the studio will do
