A "mystery clock" on display as part of the "Jazz Age" exhibit at the Cleveland Museum of Art in Cleveland, Ohio, in the United States.
A "mystery clock" is a timepiece whose hands appear to "float". Such timepieces were fashionable between 1900 and 1940.
This clock was made about 1921 by Cartier, a French jewelry firm established in Paris by Louis-François Cartier (1819–1904) in 1847. In 1916, his grandson, Jacques Cartier, emigrated to the United States and opened a New York City branch of the business on Fifth Avenue.
The actual designer of this timepiece is not known. The creator of the movement is not known. The piece itself is made of gold, platinum, ebonite, citrine, diamonds, and enamel. Ebonite (or Vulcanite) is a very hard artificial resin created by Charles Goodyear in 1844. Citrine is a yellow to brownish-red variety of quartz (the second-most used quartz gemstone after amethyst).
This clock was first owned by Anna Thompson Dodge, wife of automobile manufacturer Horace Dodge.

Standing majestically close to the city centre of Chester on Eastgate Street, is the Eastgate clock. Chester's best known land mark and the second most photographed clock in the world after Big Ben. The clock was placed on the Eastgate in 1899 and commemorates Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee of 1897. The wrought-iron was made by John Douglas's cousin James Swindley of Handbridge. This clock is by J. B. Joyce of Whitchurch. Until 1974 it was hand wound once a week.

You don't always have to take pictures of people. Stumbled across this shattered clock on the street.
A part of the facade of the Halmstad city hall (inaugurated in 1938). Above the clock is a granite relief by Stig Blomberg.
On top of the carillon is a sculpture of two blacksmiths. It is one of four different groups that turn out six hours each. Each group has its own melody that the bells play when the group appears. The groups are made by Ragnar Myrsmeden.

What every serious drinker in a cold climate needs. I can't find one anywhere; I think they must have stopped making them... can't think why. From McDowall Steven & Co's Catalogue of Grates, Overmantels, Chimney Pieces & Stoves. Glasgow n.d. [c.1890].
