A fascinating experience to understand and appreciate the craftmanship that goes into creating these intricate Maltese clocks. Walk into just about any church and you'll see statues and frames that are bright to the eyes. It is, however, the prized Maltese Clock, that differentiates gilders in Malta from those abroad. The Knights of St. John influenced the design and shape whereby the colours denoted different vocations. This age-old craft remains in high demand with wait times of at least a year.
