I also like the fact that the Cherry Cupcake clock is made of metal. I couldn't resist adding one of my favourite magnet to it (the love birds are my favorite!).
Blog : pleased as punch
Time has been hard on this clock. Once precision, now a pigeon rest. I am thinking this is from the mid 1800s. The clock face is about 4 feet on the other side of the wall.
Single Nixie clock made from a former brass table clock using a PIC16F628A and Russian 74141 decoder. Based on the circuit and software found here www.electronixandmore.com/nixieclocks/3.html.

Just finished in Dec 2009 - been sitting in a box waiting for troubleshooting (intermittent bad contact solved)
New approach to the S2 clock project in evidence here.
So far the brief/analysis/specification pages are produced in much the same way as ever. The radical shift is in the generation of ideas approach. Here we borrowed an idea outlined in Kurt Rowland's 1968 book "The Shapes We Need". Amongst other things Rowland explores spatial relationships and really gets to the heart of aesthetics and visual beauty. Some things just look right and others don't. Why is this? Rowland seems to have a some good theories about this. This book was part of a series he released in the late 60's. I understand these textbooks were standard issue in Glasgow Secondary Schools Art Departments at the time. I don't know of any art teachers that used them much apart from my mother. Anyway this little card based exercise suited our purposes perfectly.
The current S2 course has seeen alot of changes over the last five years. We'll distribute the cours notes on the S2 Course page at: designandtechnologydepartment.co.uk in due course.

Bibo is a God Monster with intelligence. He has two big eyes, and he knows very well what people want to do. He cannot speak, but only "Bi-Bo." When there is any danger happened, he will speak. The top of his head will light up and his hip will makes many colorful smoke to help him survive because this smoke is very stinking and it can hinder the sight of his enemies. We love Bibo very much because he always survive by using some funny ways.

Часы из комплекта с журналом за 149р.. Как ни странно в корпус из металла, а сами часы даже ходят. В отличии от оригинала, механизм кварцевый.

Only Time will tell and every clock tells a story....
The problem with clock is, once you got two they start to multiply..
It all started when I acquired my first clock a 1960's jap 7-day wall clock from a colleague of mine by the name of Wong Mun Lai, a clock collector

It was a non-working clock which I wanted to hang up for display. After a while, I felt something amiss. A clock is not a clock if it does'nt work! So I took it apart and do some fixing, to my surprise I managed to get it ticking again ! I was totally fascinated From there I got my second, third and so on....
My favourite has to be the 400 day clock
Amazing time piece and fun to repair Next in line is those of the electromechanical design type
I love the working principles
At the time of writing, my collection is still growing....but has grind to a halt as my interest is now focus on nature photography
In the Hermitage you will have a unique chance to watch the famous Peacock Clock in action. Peacock Clock was made in London by a famous mechanic and jeweler James Cocks and presented to Catherine the Great. The Peacock is an intricate structure. The central figure, a big peacock is perched on a high oak stump with two luxuriant branches. Suspended on one of the branches on a silver cord is a cage surrounded by little bells. Inside the cage there is an owl in dark silver. Next to it on a tree stump stands a very picturesque life-size rooster. Among other inmates of the glass cage are snails, lizards, and a grasshopper together with mushrooms, acorns, and leaves. The dial is built into the cap of the biggest mushroom. When the clock strikes, all the figures come into motion. The owl is the first to come to life. It turns its head and rolls its eyes. Meanwhile the bell cage revolves producing melodious sounds. Then the bells stop ringing and the peacock spreads out its marvelous tail, It turns round and round slowly demonstrating its rich plumage and bowing gracefully. The rooster stretches its neck and comes up with its cock-a-doodle-doo. The roman figures indicate the hours while the Arab ones indicate the seconds.
Second in a very occasional series... Inspired by some of the other spiral clock images on Flickr on Flickr I decided to try and make some of my own using the MathMap Droste effect code tutorial here on Flickr.
Also now available as an actual clock from Cafepress.
