Son Johan (41) came home two years ago to keep a bell ticking in a Frisian family business

Watches have been made in Joure, Friesland, since 1700, such as the Frisian tail clock and the Frisian chair clock. In 1976, Jacob ten Hoeve opened his own clockmaker workshop in the middle of the village. After a trip to England, son Johan is ready to take over the business.
