The working clock is the oldest in the world. It is made with thousands of varieties of flowers and is re-created each year designed to commemorate special occasions. This year it celebrates the centenary of Edinburgh Zoo.
It was invented by John McHattie of Edinburgh Parks and was first planted up in the spring of 1903 in West Princes Street Gardens. In that year it had only an hour hand but a minute hand was added the following year. It was soon imitated across the United Kingdom and later throughout the world. Here the clock mechanism is set inside the plinth of the statue to Allan Ramsay adjacent. There is also a cuckoo which calls each hour.

Inspired by the cyclops watch from Mr Jones Watches (http://mrjoneswatches.com/html/cyclops.html) I set out to create my own prototype.
Using a cheap IKEA clock, I printed a new face and taped it over the old one.
The colours were chosen using the In Rainbows equation to convert a string to an md5 hash, then take the first 6 hex digits. Those are the values for "01:00", "01:30", ..., "12:00", "12:30". I don't think I would personally choose those values, but I went with them anyway to see how they look.
I like the idea of waking-up at about royal blue o'clock.
I built this working cuckoo clock out of Lego bricks. It's using a quartz movement that I modified to work with the lego bricks.
The clock was designed in Bricksmith and I bought most of the parts through Bricklink.
A video of the clock in action is available at Youtube: www.youtube.com/watch?v=9v3BFXiamNA

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....

The astronomical clock in the north transept, erected in the 1950s as a memorial to those who lost their lives in the Second World War. The painted figurative details are the work of local artist Harry Stammers.
York Minster is England's largest medieval cathedral and almost impossible to do justice to. It has an awesome presence that cannot fail to impress.
Uniquely the cathedral was spared the ravages of the Civil War that decimated the medieval art of most English cathedrals and churches, and it thus possesses the largest collection of medieval glass in Britain throughout most of it's vast windows.
This is one of the dials of the Prague Astronomical Clock, which dates from 1410. It's to be found on the southern wall of the Old City Hall. The dial's background represents the Earth and sky, and surrounding it are the zodiac ring, an outer rotating ring, an icon representing the sun, and another representing the moon. The four figures flanking the clock face are set in motion when the clock strikes on the hour.
It's the world's oldest astronomical clock still in operation. And it's in an absolutely beautiful setting.
One of the more fantastic aspects of being in New York, is the ability to take the train or subway across to Hoboken, New Jersey. Home of TLC's "Cake Boss" and Carlo's bakery. We took the path train under the Hudson River over to Hoboken, and walked around. While the line to actually get in the bakery was longer than the lines at the airport, it was really fun to see the bakery that I see on TV all the time. I loved this clock right outside of Hoboken City Hall.
For STDW #5 my topic was clocks. I wanted to get a old and rustic look and I think I achieved it well. I love the rustic gears and how the corners are vignette.
The case of this clock is by Hans Coenraadt Breghtel (1608-75) with movement by Adriaan van den Bergh. It is from the Hague in 1650-75 and is partially gilded silver.
It appears in the V&A exhibition Baroque: Style in the Age of Magnificence.
This clock was made for display as a masterpiece of design and technical virtuosity. The exceptionally fine goldsmiths' work includes richly embossed floral ornament and also silver filigree, a technique of Chinese origin. The design, with complex references to the zodiac, the seasons and the passing of time, presents the clock as a Temple of Life.
V&A Museum no. 92-1870
