This is an old New Haven clock. Not sure when it was made. The case has fell apart.
The brass mechanism needs cleaned, but it still works. I wanted to restore but it may be beyond my skills.

This clock is amazing. It shows local time in Copenhagen, solar time, the time at any location on earth, the time of sunrise and sunset both according to local time and actual solar time, lengths of day and night. The Gregorian calendar shows the year (6), the day of the week, date and month (7), local mean time - Central European time, the daily time 15° east of Greenwich in hours, minutes and seconds. A perpetual calendar consists of 5 dials, indicating: The Sunday letter (3), the epact (4), the sun circle (5), the indiction (6) and the moon circle (7). Furthermore, there is a calendar showing the 12 months of the year, the days and dates of the week, every moon phase as well as the calculated Easter Sunday - all other holidays according to Easter Sunday. The perpetual calendar are automatically set in motion every New Years Eve at midnight, to calculate the calendar for the following year. It runs for the next 2500 years.

The geocentrical orbit with the Earth as its centre. Here you can obtain knowledge of the sun's and moon's eclipses, the distance between the Earth and the Moon - the apse line and the knot line.
The solar system with the planets Mercury, Venus, the Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune around the Sun.
The year (4) and number of days (5) according to the Julian time period which is 7.980 years.

Clock-O'-Clay
In the cowslip pips I lie,
Hidden from the buzzing fly,
While green grass beneath me lies,
Pearled with dew like fishes' eyes,
Here I lie, a clock-o'-clay,
Waiting for the time o' day.
While the forest quakes surprise,
And the wild wind sobs and sighs,
My home rocks as like to fall,
On its pillar green and tall;
When the pattering rain drives by
Clock-o'-clay keeps warm and dry.
Day by day and night by night,
All the week I hide from sight;
In the cowslip pips I lie,
In the rain still warm and dry;
Day and night, and night and day,
Red, black-spotted clock-o'-clay.
My home shakes in wind and showers,
Pale green pillar topped with flowers,
Bending at the wild wind's breath,
Till I touch the grass beneath;
Here I live, lone clock-o'-clay,
Watching for the time of day.

This concept has probably been done a load of times before, but thought it would be a kind of fun idea do something with.
Also, I'm going travelling around Canada next week for a month, and I'm hoping to get some awesome concepts shot over there which I'm so excited for and can't wait to show you!

Astronomical Clock, Czech Republic
Clocks involving mechanical figures often tell a story. In Prague, the astronomical clock set into the Old Town Hall Tower shows the procession of the Twelve Apostles, as the hour strikes from 9am to 11pm.
A tower was added to the hall in the Old Town Square in the 14th Century. In 1410, the clockmaker Mikuláš of Kadaň devised a mechanism that could be added to it. Prague was a multicultural city and it was intended that this clock could be read by anyone, whichever method they used. A calendar element was added in 1490, which moved forward a day on the strike of midnight.
In 1659, the clock underwent repairs and it is believed that the moving figures were incorporated into the clock at this time. Figures on the clock include a skeleton, a vain man carrying a mirror, philosopher, astronomer and stone angel. A golden rooster was added to the clock in 1882, which makes a crowing sound created by a set of bellows.
The astronomical clock has been through many periods of repair and restoration since the 15th Century. The most serious damage came from an incendiary shell destroying much of the clock's workings at the end of the Second World War. It was back in operation again by 1948 and modifications continued through the second half of the 20th Century, including setting the clock to Central European Time (CET) and replacing and repainting the figurines.

Normally, when we think of clocks, we think of time — seconds, minutes, hours. When we think of scales, we think of weight — ounces, grams, pounds. However, a new clock developed by physicists at the University of California, Berkeley is said to be the most fundamental clock ever created, combining a clock’s function with a scale’s, telling time in matter.

SPRING O'CLOCK...
#AbFav_SPRING_EASTER_🐥
Dandelions are once again sprouting up all over, prompting the city, lawn-care specialists and amateur gardeners alike to again declare war on the broad leaf weed.
A dandelion is really many tiny flowers bunched together.
Each little flower becomes a seed...
We don't like them in our gardens.
AND YET: The dandelion plant is a beneficial weed, with a wide range of uses, and is even a good companion plant for gardening.
Its taproot will bring up nutrients for shallower-rooting plants, and add minerals and nitrogen to soil.
It is also known to attract pollinating insects and release ethylene gas which helps fruit to ripen.
Taraxacum seeds are an important food source for certain birds.
Great in a salad etc...
Enjoy and make the BEST of every day! Thank you, M, (*_*)

On the morning of December 6th, 1917, the most violent man-made explosion before the atomic bomb rocked Halifax harbour, in Nova Scotia, Canada, when a Norwegian vessel collided with a French munitions ship. The blast completely flattened everything within 800 meters, sent shrapnel flying for several kilometers, and started a tsunami that demolished whole communities. More than 1900 people died that day, and 10,000 suffered horrific, life-long injuries. Flying glass from windows throughout the city, blinded thousands as they stood watching the fire moments before the big explosion. The stories of both tragedy and heroism are plentiful, and are fascinating to learn about. The hands on the clock at city hall remain permanently fixed at 9:04:35 AM; stopped at the exact moment of the explosion.
