A clock I received from my Mom a very long time ago.
I was fascinated with it. The way the clock weight moved smoothly and silently around and back and forth.
It is a wind up version and over time, with moves from one house to another, it stopped working. ...Maybe I wound it a bit too much. I still have the key.
Every now and then, I think...well...I will find a clock maker to fix it. I still think I may.....

Rubik's clock has four turning dials and four up-down pins. The aim is to set all 18 clocks (front and back of puzzle) to point to 12 o'clock.
The corner clocks, unlike the other clocks, rotate on both sides of the puzzle together and cannot be operated independently. Thus the puzzle contains only 14 independent clocks.
Each pin is arranged such that if it is "in" on one side it is "out" on the other side of the puzzle. The state of each pin determines whether the adjacent corner clock is mechanically connected to the three other adjacent clocks on the front side or on the back side.
Since there are 14 independent clocks, with 12 settings each, there are a total of 12^{14}=1,283,918,464,548,864 possible combinations for the clock faces.

Today, Day 6 of my 20 day self challenge I take a pause from landscapes to share this image. Music often Hijacks our perception of time, making it longer, making it pass quicker, distorting and bending it in varied tempos, directlng the way we dance, celebrate or mourn. This violin Clock in the possession of a friend seems to express this better than words.
Here's a morning shot of Beverley Street in downtown Staunton, Virginia, featuring the Clock Tower, one of the city's most recognizable landmarks. Over the years, I've posted several shots of this view on my photostream.
This 19th century clock stands on the promenade, counting the minutes, and providing some seating, for the old, infirm, and hoody-clad ne'er-do-wells of the town.
This clock exists because way back when it was planned to open a public library in Morecambe. A councillor collected contributions from a variety of donors to build the library. The problem was the ongoing running of the place - it would require a halfpenny added to everyone's rates (local taxes) which was a step too far, apparently.
So, what to do with the accumulated donations? Easy - build a clock tower!

This clock sits atop the Mermaid Quay leisure and entertainment complex in Cardiff Bay.
It commemorates Ernest Thompson Willows, a local aviation and airship pioneer who built his first airship in 1905, aged just 19.
His early pioneering exploits resulted in Ernest becoming the first person in Britain to hold a pilot's licence for an airship when the Royal Aero Club awarded him Airship Pilots Certificate No. 1.
The clock is modelled on the early aero engine that would have powered Ernest's airships.
