Taking picture of clock has always a feeling of reflection, boringness, and future. But, Korean vintage style clock makes clock pictures beautifully popular again. I am not sure how the Koreans like this style of clock lately, but i guess it is perfect for photography. I hope you enjoy this clock again. :p

Часы из комплекта с журналом за 149р.. Как ни странно в корпус из металла, а сами часы даже ходят. В отличии от оригинала, механизм кварцевый.

Adorning the front of a local auto body shop is this nice neon clock. It's been lit 24/7 for years, yet it doesn't run! So, twice a day at 2:22 it shows the correct time.

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....

In the Hermitage you will have a unique chance to watch the famous Peacock Clock in action. Peacock Clock was made in London by a famous mechanic and jeweler James Cocks and presented to Catherine the Great. The Peacock is an intricate structure. The central figure, a big peacock is perched on a high oak stump with two luxuriant branches. Suspended on one of the branches on a silver cord is a cage surrounded by little bells. Inside the cage there is an owl in dark silver. Next to it on a tree stump stands a very picturesque life-size rooster. Among other inmates of the glass cage are snails, lizards, and a grasshopper together with mushrooms, acorns, and leaves. The dial is built into the cap of the biggest mushroom. When the clock strikes, all the figures come into motion. The owl is the first to come to life. It turns its head and rolls its eyes. Meanwhile the bell cage revolves producing melodious sounds. Then the bells stop ringing and the peacock spreads out its marvelous tail, It turns round and round slowly demonstrating its rich plumage and bowing gracefully. The rooster stretches its neck and comes up with its cock-a-doodle-doo. The roman figures indicate the hours while the Arab ones indicate the seconds.
