The Prague astronomical clock, or Prague orloj, is a medieval astronomical clock installed in 1410, making it the third-oldest astronomical clock in the world and the oldest one still working. The astronomical dial has a background that represents the standing Earth and sky, and surrounding it operates four main moving components: the zodiacal ring, an outer rotating ring, an icon representing the Sun, and an icon representing the Moon.

This is a Junghans ATO clock, which dates back to the early 1950's or so. It is an electro-mechanical clock. There is a curved magnetized rod attached to the bottom of the pendulum. A solenoid coil, on the left, is briefly energized when the escapement closes a switch. The energized coil generates a magnetic field, which pulls the pendulum to the left.
The clock has a glass case, which is removed for this photo.

Ok...funny story...while shooting this collage of clocks, I went into the kitchen to see what time it was-out of habit I guess-lol. Major blonde moment, eh?!
Anyway, I love clocks! I have at least one in every room! My six year old only knows how to tell time on these old school clocks, not digital. I guess I am someone who likes to know what time it is. I like to be on somewhat of a schedule. Even when I was a kid I loved and collected watches. Maybe its the constant tick tock tick tock that I love. Maybe its just my need to collect things. Whatever it is...I love clocks and the hope of more time.
