Inspired by the cyclops watch from Mr Jones Watches (http://mrjoneswatches.com/html/cyclops.html) I set out to create my own prototype.
Using a cheap IKEA clock, I printed a new face and taped it over the old one.
The colours were chosen using the In Rainbows equation to convert a string to an md5 hash, then take the first 6 hex digits. Those are the values for "01:00", "01:30", ..., "12:00", "12:30". I don't think I would personally choose those values, but I went with them anyway to see how they look.
I like the idea of waking-up at about royal blue o'clock.
No-one would reckon being under heavy fire at Epinoy in 1918 was worth it, even for a big clock, but it seemed to the good folk of Goldthorpe & Highgate to be the proper thing to do after the event.
The clock was presented to my husband's maternal grandfather after the Great War. The plaque reads:
Presented to W.Taylor Y&L Regt by the Goldthorpe & Highgate Heroes Fund for winning D.C.M. for exceptional bravery under heavy fire at Epinoy. Oct.1918.
The working clock is the oldest in the world. It is made with thousands of varieties of flowers and is re-created each year designed to commemorate special occasions. This year it celebrates the zoo's centenary.
It was invented by John McHattie of Edinburgh Parks and was first planted up in the spring of 1903 in West Princes Street Gardens. In that year it had only an hour hand but a minute hand was added the following year. It was soon imitated across the United Kingdom and later throughout the world. Here the clock mechanism is set inside the plinth of the statue to Allan Ramsay adjacent. There is also a cuckoo which calls each hour.
I built this working cuckoo clock out of Lego bricks. It's using a quartz movement that I modified to work with the lego bricks.
The clock was designed in Bricksmith and I bought most of the parts through Bricklink.
A video of the clock in action is available at Youtube: www.youtube.com/watch?v=9v3BFXiamNA
This is one of the dials of the Prague Astronomical Clock, which dates from 1410. It's to be found on the southern wall of the Old City Hall. The dial's background represents the Earth and sky, and surrounding it are the zodiac ring, an outer rotating ring, an icon representing the sun, and another representing the moon. The four figures flanking the clock face are set in motion when the clock strikes on the hour.
It's the world's oldest astronomical clock still in operation. And it's in an absolutely beautiful setting.
My clock suddenly started working. When I shut the car off I thought the fuel pump hadn't turned off until I realized it was the clock. It is a little bit noisy but you can't hear it in the video. It has since started and stopped a few other times. Ultra boring video (and poor quality - a one-two punch) but who knows how much longer it will continue to work. These automotive clocks in the 70s were not high quality pieces.
It's almost time for the Instructable EPILOG laser cutter contest to start again, and I'm planning on writing up the process for this great new clock I've been working on.
For STDW #5 my topic was clocks. I wanted to get a old and rustic look and I think I achieved it well. I love the rustic gears and how the corners are vignette.

Lacock, Wiltshire.
-----------------------
Lacock is a village in Wiltshire, England, 3 miles (5 km) from the town of Chippenham. The village is owned almost in its entirety by the National Trust, and attracts many visitors by virtue of its unspoiled appearance.
Lacock is mentioned in the Domesday book, with a population of 160–190; with two mills and a vineyard. Lacock Abbey was founded on the manorial lands by Ela, Countess of Salisbury and established in 1232; and the village — with the manor — formed its endowment to "God and St Mary". Lacock was granted a market and developed a thriving wool industry during the Middle Ages. Reybridge, and a pack horse ford, remained the only crossing points of the River Avon until the 17th century.
At the Dissolution, the Abbey and estate, including the village were sold to William Sharington, later passing into the Talbot family by marriage.
Most of the surviving houses are 18th-century or earlier in construction. There is a 14th-century tithe barn, a medieval church, and an inn dating from the 15th century and an 18th-century lock-up.
The house eventually passed to the Talbot family. It is most often associated with William Henry Fox Talbot. In 1835 Talbot made the earliest known surviving example of a photographic negative, a photogenic print of the oriel window in the south gallery of the Abbey. Talbot continued with his experiments at the Abbey and by 1840 had discovered the negative/positive process to record photographic images by chemical means.
Lacock is now considered to be the birthplace of photography and the Abbey houses the Fox Talbot Museum devoted to Talbot's pioneering work in photography and the original photograph of the oriel window he developed.
The village has been used as a film and television set, notably for the 1995 BBC production of Pride and Prejudice, the 2007 BBC production of Cranford. It has also made brief appearances in the Harry Potter films Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone and Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. Most recently, in the Spring of 2012, it was a filming location of the fantasy adventure movie Mariah Mundi and the Midas Box, which is scheduled for release in 2013.
In all the times I've visited Central Park this was the first time I'd seen the Delacorte Clock chime.

Smiths clock that i restored a 8-Day Mantel Clock with Chimes Westminster.
Founded in 1851, Smiths were once the largest clock manufacturer in Europe.
From their head office in Cricklewood, North London, they produced clocks for the home, workplace, aircraft and the motor industry.
Smiths clocks could be found everywhere from railway stations to schools, from Bentley’s to Mini’s and even Spitfire aircraft.
Undoubtedly the greatest British clock manufacturer of the 20th Century.

Established in the 1930's and closed (judging by the clocking-in cards) at some point in 2003.
A really interesting place to explore, full of all sorts of stuff from it's past life and thankfully untouched by vandals.
This piece of kit took me back to my first part time job as a 16 year old, stacking shelves at ASDA. I regularly ate my own body weight in nuts, fruit and cakes.
