The old clerkenwell clock had not worked for years but had a rusty charm and was right twice a day.
Replaced in 2013.
Front desk clock at Johnson & Wales Inn. Excellent facility to stay at! Used Gimp to eliminate a horrible reflection in the photo.
Initially used as a supporter of the arms of Henry IV's John, Earl of Kendal, and moved in 1443 to Sir John Beaufort (Henry VII’s grandfather) with the transfer of the title.
Found in the Tudor Garden.
Hampton Court's original Tudor gardens were replaced by successive monarchs. This garden was recreated in the Chapel Court by Todd Longstaffe-Gowan, opening in 2009 to commemorate the 500th anniversary of Henry VIII's accession to the throne.
The garden holds the eight royal beasts - representations of the animals from Henry's lineage.
The Beasts were decorated by Patrick Baty.
Hampton Court Palace began with Cardinal Thomas Wolsey (c.1473-1530) acquiring what was then a grange from the Order of St John (the Knights Hospitaller) in 1514 and redeveloping it as a palace. The new palace included the Base Court (which included 40 guest lodgings), and the inner Clock Court (which had state apartments for Henry VIII, Katherine of Aragon and the Princess Mary). The palace was used for hosting state functions such as diplomatic visits as well as entertainments.
In 1529 Hampton Court passed to Henry following Wolsey's downfall, at which point Henry built upon and developed an already substantial palace. The new complex included larger kitchens, a chapel and great hall, as well as tennis courts, a bowling alley and tiltyard. Starting less than 6 months of taking possession, Henry's works weren't complete until 1540.
Each of Henry's heirs stayed at Hampton Court (indeed Edward VI was born there), although only Elizabeth I made any changes and those were relatively minor; this was similar under the Stuarts, with the next changes to the palace happening with William and Mary.
Sir Christopher Wren (1632-1723) was comissioned to design a new palace, but the cost of demolishing the existing building was too prohibitive, instead the east and south sides were rebuilt.
The last phase of construction happened with the Hanoverians, with Sir John Vanbrugh (1664-1726) designing the Queen's apartments under George I, and William Kent (c. 1685-1748) the Queen's staircase and Cumberland Suite under George II.
The royal family left Hampton Court in 1737, after which time the palace became grace and favour apartments for a century, before being opened to the public by Queen Victoria.

The Hereios asked for clocks today which meant convincing my wonderful husband to pull down his antique clock from its resting place way above my head.
What better to go with an antique than something relatively new?
This little guy is three weeks old and the runt of our litter. We're calling him Muffin for now, but truth be told he's struggling. Hopefully this will remain a sweet baby picture and not a memorial, but only time will tell. (Pun not intended.)
Tried to make it look a little like a pencil drawing without using a pencil filter. Did it work?

Edit - Muffin didn't make it. He was found on Monday, April 24th, gone some time during the night.

Work started to investigate the clock; by gently removing one face, the mechanism has been revealed as four synchronous motors (one per face) and a very modern control mechanism, certainly far newer than the clock itself. all the control gear is by Smith of Derby, so probably the clock itself is also one of their excellent products. Fortunately, their website has also enabled details of the mechanism to be downloaded, so we can start getting it all working again.

This is a "Before" shot, showing how the clock looked when I first bought it. I don't know what planet they found that "pendulum" on, but it certainly wasn't anywhere in the clock galaxy! Also, you can tell that one whole side of the base is missing which is why the clock is so tilted. (Also notice how dark the wood had become, most likely from fireplace soot or kitchen smoke. The clock had probably sat over someone's fireplace or kitchen stove for many years).

为什么LOG(55)是4？ 因为太Geek了。
In most commonly-used programming languages, including C, C++, SAS, MATLAB, Fortran, and BASIC, “log” or “LOG” refers to the natural logarithm.
大部分编程语言都使用LOG的写法表示以自然对数为底。

The Old Waller County Courthouse Clock and Bell - Hempstead, TX.
The clock tower provides a permanent home for the 1894 bell & clock which
were functional adornments to the old Waller County Texas Courthouse.
According to the historical society, the Seth Thomas clock and bell were
installed in the original courthouse in the summer of 1894. The bell was cast
at the McShane Bell Foundry in Baltimore. The mechanism operating the clock
was powered by 1,300 pounds of weights suspended from pulleys. In 1947, an
electric motor was installed to drive the clock and bell. The courthouse was
demolished in 1954, but the clock and the bell were saved. The bell continued
to tone above the current courthouse until the 1970s when the mechanism
controlling the bell broke and was not repaired. The bell was restored in 1991
and the clockworks were restored in the 1990s. The clock and bell tower
construction began in 2004, but sat idle until last year when Jackie Craver,
volunteer coordinator of the project for the Waller County Historical Society
volunteered to spearhead the fundraising effort to finish the project.
Thursday, December 23, 2010. By Joe Southern - Years after the project was
started and months of dormancy since the last improvements were made,
the Waller County Clock and Bell Tower has been bustling with activity in the
past week as the copper dome was mounted on top and the historic bell
refurbished and replaced. Workers with MCT Sheet Metal installed the lower
roof in the tower and then on Saturday hoisted the 3 ½-ton copper dome on top.
On Monday, the 1894 bell was returned to its spot under the dome. It took about
an hour of maneuvering for workers to get the 700-pound brass bell into place.
Tuesday morning had crews installing the clapper and the clockworks are due
to be installed in the next week or two. "Way to go Jackie Craver!!!!"
