This listing is for the matt finish version named in the catalogue.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe wider setting is traditional street life and businesses of old Hong Kong. Old Hong Kong is remembered through busy streets, trades, food, family life and community celebrations. Shopfronts and everyday characters are just as important as the larger landmarks in telling that story.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eClock Repair Man (Matt) directs attention to the trades and services that helped define Hong Kong’s street life. The figure or accessory creates a natural meeting place for customers, passers-by and neighbouring businesses, making the city scene feel active.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWork and trade are essential to the larger historical story. This piece draws attention to the people whose routine tasks kept communities, armies or public spaces functioning.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConsider setting the piece in a bustling street, small shopfront or market corner.
