Tik-tak, tik-tak, that sound would make me stand still and silent for what seemed like hours. I got the same feeling of excitement when I entered Timepiece on Patrick Street. It was like stepping back in time. The shop is jam-packed with antique clocks in all shapes and sizes. Beautiful wooden ones, just like my grandma's, as well as metal case clocks. These amazing treasures come with a price, but even though you can't afford one right now, it's still fun to have a look around.
