Leveraging more than four decades of experience in the field of real estate, developer Cameel Halim buys, renovates, and sells properties across Illinois through his company CH Ventures, LLC, a real estate development firm he operates with his wife. Outside of his professional pursuits, Cameel Halim enjoys collecting antique clocks.
Many of the pieces in his collection extend back to before the 1800s, and the number of antique timekeepers in his possession is more than 600. The long-time collector purchased a home in Evanston, Illinois, and is in the process of converting it into a museum. The types of clocks to be displayed are not only keepers of time, but also of history. For instance, the collection includes a piece once owned by an 18th-century Japanese shogun, and one of the collection's oldest piece, an elephant clock from what is present-day Germany, dates back to 1520. Visitors will soon be able to view the collection for themselves, when the Halim Time & Glass Museum opens in the fall of 2017.
