This was my grandmothers clock and as far back as I can remember it never worked, When she passed my father got it. As far back as I can remember when he had it it never worked! When I moved out I dug it out of the back of the closet and took it to a clock maker. He totally rebuilt it. That was 30 yrs ago! Still keeps perfect time! Chimes on the hour and half hour. Eight day movement.
The Ansonia Clock Company of New York was one of the major 19th century American clock manufacturers. It produced millions of clocks in the period between 1850, its year of incorporation, and 1929, the year the company went into receivership. In 1914 it produced 440 different clocks!
The clock in Downtown Forest City, NC was restored in 2014 by Gene Volk, a clock repairman from the National Association of Watch and Clock Collectors, of Hendersonville, NC.
If only... time could freeze,
at the wish of your heart.
So that, you could cherish the breeze,
of happiness that just took its start.
If only... time could go back,
at the thought of your brain.
So that, you could probably go and smack,
all the wrong-doings that bring you pain.
If only... time could show what lay ahead,
at the death of your soul.
So that, you could peacefully lie dead,
realising this was the best end for your stroll.
This clock was damaged when the A-bomb was exploded over Nagasaki at 11.02 local time on 9th August 1945.
The bomb used 6.4kg of Plutonium and had an explosive power equivalent to 21 thousand tons of TNT. Between 40,000 and 80,000 people were killed.
The Clock Tower in the centre of Brighton has been draped in clothes by one of Finland’s leading artists, Kaarina Kaikkonen, as part of this year’s Brighton Festival. You can just see the clock faces peering out beneath dozens of shirts! The Brighton Festival runs until 26th May and you can find out more here brightonfestival.org/ For more information on the artist and her work at the festival, go to www.mutualart.com/OpenExternalArticle/Artist-s-Statement-...
RESTORE!! (This was one of my New Year's "guidelines," to restore or repair old things and make them new again). I took an old clock that I have had since about 1967 and made it over into something quite different. It might be gaudy for some, but I like how it matches the multi-colored frames on my nightstand now.
Basically I cleaned up the old hardware and scraped old glue, then painted the wood parts of the clock gold. I then attached glass crystals in various sizes and colors to make something that looks like it could come from the thieves' cave that Ali Baba visits (or so I tell myself).
While I did this I watched the uncut version of 1954's "The Egyptian," directed by Michael Curtiz. OMG what a long and melodramatic movie!!! I saw it years ago but I had forgotten most of it.
