Clock-Winder
If you’ve ever gazed at the inner mechanisms of a clock, you know how challenging this career may be. Clock-winders formerly had to work around the clock to wind up and maintain clocks, ensuring that they were always accurate.
Winding a clock has gotten much easier in recent years, but it was once quite difficult and required specialized skills. On the other hand, these clock-winders lost their jobs as soon as the Industrial Revolution produced electrical clock-winders.
