This may take some time....<br />

One of the country's last horologists faces a busy time of it as he braces himself to turn back hundreds of clocks this weekend.<br />
<br />
While most people will get an extra hour in bed, spare a thought for master clock maker, Mark Taylor.<br />
<br />
The grandfather of seven has spent months on the hunt for an apprentice to ensure that his trade does not end with him.<br />
<br />
But his search has so far been unsuccessful, meaning he faces the mammoth task of winding back the clocks at his shop in Bournemouth, Dorset, alone.
