George Gyori, born circa 1938, arrived in 1957 in Australia as a 19-year-old Hungarian refugee, courtesy of the Red Cross. He trained as an engineer and in 1963 started his own general engineering business. Once his business was established, hebegan purchasing wristwatches,and then clocks. Fascinated with the precision of their mechanisms he widened his collection to include scientific instruments. After collecting for about 20 years he became frustrated that there were some scientific instruments he was unable to purchase, so he used his engineering skills to make perfect replicas of these items. The collection of George Gyori was sold in a single vendor sale Melbourne in 2021.
