This photograph of the clock was taken on one of the cannon cameras. The photograph is apart of the shutter speed challenge from Photography One.The photograph was edited by adjusting the levels, cropping the image, and the photograph was taken at a 2 second shutter speed. Additionally, the photograph was enhanced by Burns. The reason why this is one of the better one of my photographs is that I enjoy the high metallic shin against the cool toned white wall, I also enjoy the "wave-like" shutter speed of the seconds hand, and I enjoy the enhancement of the hands on the clock through editing.
Product photography for a client that needed clean and simple shots of different items, this was a part of a clock collection with a kinds of clocks, old and new.
The current clock was originally part of a building on Pacific Avenue. When the building was modernized in 1964, the owners sold the clock to the city for one dollar. The clock remained in storage for about a decade. As a way to get funding for a clock tower, the plan was presented as a bicentennial project for 1976.
The old clock was re-dedicated on July, 4th 1976.

Back in the breaker box, The Energy Detective takes power readings and transmits them over the mains. In the clock, an analog filter/amplifier isolates these RF signals from the incoming AC power. An AVR microcontroller does further filtering, decodes the packets, and generates clock ticks.

Margate's Jubilee Clock Tower was built to commemorate Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee in 1887, although not completed until 1889. It had a Time Ball mechanism, mounted on a mast atop the tower, which was raised a few minutes before 1 pm each day and dropped at precisely 1 pm, thereby allowing residents, visitors and ships to know the exact time. This was, of course, in the days before wireless transmission of time signals. The Time Ball fell out of use many years ago, but following a suggestion by Arnold Schwartzman OBE RDI, a former Margate resident, Margate Civic Society raised funds to have the Time Ball repaired and brought back into use. This was successful, and a civic ceremony celebrated the restoration on 24 May 2014, Queen Victoria's birthday and the 125th anniversary of the Clock Tower's official opening. The Time Ball now drops at 1 pm each day and is one of only a handful of working time balls in the world. Photograph by Pamela Vallance. July 21st 2020.
Old wood and metal dB meter converted to 6 digit Nixie clock. Used the electronics from www.shop.nixieuhren.de/.
The tubes came from a Sobax (Solid State Abacus) Sony Electronic Computer from the 60's.
Made in 2006. Runs on 110VAC.

I like clocks with hand. An angel may guard your time.
Eight O'Clock Coffee has recently come out with a new look on its bags. They did away with the classic Eight O'Clock font, a last connection to when the brand was owned by A&P. And there's a lot less use of red, another A&P connection.
Dial of my old clock which is behind a brass framed beveled glass. Below is a brass highly decorated facia with a face in the centre. Any information on this this clock or type of clock is most welcomed.
After a new lick of BLUE and gold paint. It was last painted in 1991 ish but this "time" it's 'stourbridge' blue.
A large and heavy wooden mantel clock by junghans. It has a mechanical 8 day westminster chime movement. 18" high and about 80 years old. It had a nice sweet sounding westminster strike with a vintage favour which no modern day clock can match. Perhaps the secret lies in the material which is used to make the chime rods.
Noticed the hourly strike was incorrect after a routine check and service on the clock in Aug 2022. The no of strike at 12 o'clock always fall short of one strike giving only 11 strikes instead of 12 which it should be (the 4x4 Westminster chimes are in good working order). Eventually, I discovered the problem after doing some close observations on the rack and snail mechanism. The fiction tube of the hour hand was sitting too far back that it obstructs and prevent the rack from falling back onto the correct section of the snail. Since the 12 o'clock section is the deepest part of the snail, the rack is blocked by the hour hand and unable to reach it only to rest on the next deepest section which is the 11 o'clock portion thus giving 11 strikes at 12 o'clock (this however has no effect on the rest of the hourly strikes since the rack is able to reach most part of the snail). In order to prevent this flaw from happening again, I filed down the fiction tube to make it shorter so that it will never able to obstruct the rack even push right back. After that, the clock is back in business once more.
Only Time will tell and every clock tells a story....
The problem with clock is, once you got two they start to multiply..
It all started when I acquired my first clock a 1960's jap 7-day wall clock from a colleague of mine by the name of Wong Mun Lai, a clock collector

It was a non-working clock which I wanted to hang up for display. After a while, I felt something amiss. A clock is not a clock if it does'nt work! So I took it apart and do some fixing, to my surprise I managed to get it ticking again ! I was totally fascinated From there I got my second, third and so on....
My favourite has to be the 400 day clock
Amazing time piece and fun to repair Next in line is those of the electromechanical design type
I love the working principles
At the time of writing, my collection is still growing....but has grind to a halt as my interest is now focus on nature photography
For those of you that were contacts on my other account before I deleted it, you know I opposed Videos on Flickr; however, ...
Maybe there is a place for it if it is kept artistic. This isn't artistic mind you, this is practice.
I am trying a little time-lapse photography. This is sorta photography... right? I just linked them all together. :) Please excuse the lighting, I am testing.
Anyway, this is a 27 second video comprised of 163 frames of "photography." The subject isn't interesting at all, but hopefully the technique works. I hope to do something with a landscape and sky when I get it figured out. Enjoy.
Comment to let me know what to change (or keep) to make this better. Framing was 6 per second.
Thanks.
In the Space Station Processing Facility at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, an overhead crane lowers the Tranquility module, or Node 3, toward a work stand. The module was delivered to the International Space Station on the STS-130 mission.

My clock gets set twice a year, next setting at 2am Oct 30th. To set, I use WWV tf.nist.gov/timefreq/stations/wwv.html ... radio, not internet. Clock generally stays within 0.1 sec from one daylight savings change to another, accuracy about 10 ppb.
Right knob gives 1x10^9 per 4 divisions = 1sec/33 years
Atomic clock on top runs 1/4 second slow (circuit delay) but makes a good "sanity check" (something NASA doesn't always do).
There will be a leap second this year.
On Dec. 31, the clocks should read like this as they lead into Jan. 1, 2006:
23h 59m 59s ... 23h 59m 60s ... 00h 00m 00s. Normally, the seconds would roll from 59 directly to 00.
Unit has battery backup and selectable output frequencies of 50 Hz to 10 MHz. Designed and fabricated by Edhiker
