A TRIBUTE TO TRAN DUY LY

A TRIBUTE TO TRAN DUY LY

BY COL. LARRY HOLMES

"I know you’ve probably heard it before, but if a list of REALLY GREAT horologists is ever done, your name will be at the top. I don’t know if you’ve ever replaced a spring, bushed a pivot or synch’ed a strike, but you’ve done more for horologists than anyone I know of in the past century. And your patriotism doesn’t go unnoticed. Perhaps more than being a great horologist, you, Sir, are a GREAT AMERICAN!

Colonel Larry Holmes - Clinton, MS"

"Tran, you deserve such compliments your diligence, your perseverance your demand for exacting accuracy and detail....you have done so much for the field of horology. You brought light to an otherwise darkness in a field where guessing and assumption without research was rampant. No one can thank you enough, however your name and spirit will live for as long as there are clock collectors, American and International! Congratulations Tran."
