Raymond Saunders (clockmaker)

Raymond Saunders (Feb. 7, 1940 to Nov. 23, 2024) was a Canadian clockmaker who has designed and built more than 150 customized clocks that mainly serve as tourist-attracting public artworks.

In 1977 he was commissioned to build a steam clock for the Gastown district of Vancouver, Canada.

Saunders has since built six different public steam clocks for clients such as the city of Otaru, Japan, and the Indiana State Museum.

He has also built a clock for Vancouver's York House School's 78th birthday in 2010.

In 2019, Saunders was badly injured in a fall and became semi-retired.
