Kello sepissä is a Finnish phrase that translates to "clockmaker" in English. It refers to a person whose profession is to make, repair, and maintain clocks. This is a highly skilled trade that requires precision, patience, and a deep understanding of intricate mechanical workings. Clockmakers traditionally worked with a variety of timekeeping devices, from small pocket watches to large grandfather clocks and public clock towers.

The craft of clockmaking has a long history, dating back centuries. Early clocks were complex mechanisms, and the development of clockmaking was closely linked to advancements in metallurgy, engineering, and mathematics. In the past, clockmakers were essential for providing accurate timekeeping for navigation, commerce, and daily life. They would often craft all the necessary components by hand, using specialized tools.

Today, while many timekeeping devices are electronic, the art of traditional mechanical clockmaking still exists. Some clockmakers focus on restoring antique clocks, preserving historical craftsmanship. Others continue to design and build new mechanical timepieces, often as luxury items or collector's pieces. The skills of a kello sepissä are highly valued for their ability to work with delicate gears, springs, and other small parts, ensuring the smooth and accurate functioning of complex horological mechanisms.
