Welcome to Chris McKay's Web Site

This site is mostly about turret clocks, these are the large clocks you find up church and town hall towers.
In the US and Canada, turret clocks are generally called tower clocks.

These pages are low on glitzy graphics, so you can get to the information as quickly as possible.
