Clockmaker and Fossil Preparator
About Hollis Ticker
In 1987, Hollis Ticker spent 14 months reassembling a shattered Camarasaurus braincase—grain by grain, under binocular microscope—while simultaneously calibrating a marine chronometer for a transatlantic yacht race. He keeps both projects on the same workbench: one fossilized vertebra beside a disassembled verge escapement, dust and brass filings mingling in the same slant of afternoon light. His clocks don’t just keep time—they measure it in geological strata and gear ratios alike, each tick calibrated against sedimentation rates he’s mapped across Wyoming’s Morrison Formation. He doesn’t rush epoxies or temper springs; he waits for fractures to reveal their logic, for rust to surrender its secrets, for a balance wheel to find its natural frequency. When asked why he works with things that took millions of years to form and centuries to uncover, he’ll tap his wristwatch and say, 'Patience isn’t passive. It’s torque applied at the right angle, over the right interval.'
