On a September Saturday.

Rain's embrace, the earthy scent,
it gently fell upon the brown-leafed oak,
till branches swayed,
a steadfast sentinel of the ages,
a witness to a thousand stories,
a shelter for lovers and the lost.

In stillness draped,
the world beyond rested in calm repose,
cocooned in the placid rhythm,
the solace of the soft rain.

Within, an aged desk by the opened window,
ink-stained and scuffed, where tales were born,
Alice held her fountain pen, her soul's key.

The soft patter of the breeze,
her soothing score,
leaves whispered,
in moments when the world withdrew.

The fountain began to flow,
with every stroke,
her pen danced
a tale took flight,
worlds began to grow,
in this rainy, September dream,
leaves whispered her heart's intent.

Lost in creation's sweet embrace,
nature's rhythms set the pace,
capturing the oak, the girl, the twilight.

Hours ebbed as day turned dark,
through woven words, she painted scenes,
September's magic in her dreams.

The International Festival of Time takes place in Waterford City this weekend, with some of the world's most celebrated watchmakers visiting the city. The centerpiece of the festival is The Irish Museum of Time, which exhibits an exquisite collection.

Here at House of Waterford, we're lucky to possess our own piece of horological history with the William Maddock clock. This piece exhibits the finest combination of 18th & 20th century Waterford craftsmanship. The workings of the clock are by William Maddock, Waterford's most prestigious watch and clock maker in the 18th century. The clock mechanism was completely restored when Waterford Crystal acquired the workings in the 1990's, encasing the mechanism in 48 handcrafted crystal panels and 250 decorative buttons.
