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
A work in progress, this device uses a 3" cathode ray tube to display the current time. Each letter is built up from individual line segments. Anode voltage is roughly 1200V, and the entire clock runs from a 5VDC power supply.
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

After a lifetime of tumbles from my nightstand my alarm clock took it's last, fatal fall. I gathered up the scatted pieces, reassembled them, and then watched in horror as every faucet of the digital display groaned to life and then slowly faded out.
Attempts to resuscitate the clock were unsuccessful, and it looked like I was going to have to say goodbye to a good friend. Several days of grieving passed and I decided to revisit my now dark clock. I disassembled as much as two screws would allow, poked and prodded at some wires and then reattached the batteries for one final, desperate attempt.
To my surprise, the display flickered then sprung to life. An unlike the jibberish last time, the clock now displayed distinct numbers as it had done with pride for so many days. I set the time, and alarm and sat back to marvel at the simple magnificence of it all.
As soon as I get home tonight I'm going to build a tether to keep the clock from ever being forcefully introduced to the floor again. Hallelujah!

One of the off site exhibits is the Royal Navy Submarine Museum which can be found a short journey away and across into Gosport. I went back to Portsmouth to visit this museum in September 2017. This attraction can be found in Hasler road. It is well worth the effort I took the ferry from down the side of Portsmouth Harbour railway station, it was only £2.40 return OAP rate. After you leave the ferry terminal keep travelling left, follow the commemoration plaques in the pathway it takes you over a footbridge over part of the water to arrive at the Museum, about 10 minutes walk no more from the Ferry terminal.
A tour of Alliance begins in the forward torpedo store and room, then on through the accommodation space to the control room, where the tour guide demonstrates the navigation systems including diving and surfacing. The tour continues through the galley and on to the heart of the submarine, the large engine room, before culminating in the aft torpedo compartment, where the guide explains how submariners would escape in an emergency. Along the way, you can also peer through the working periscopes to view Portsmouth Harbour. Having been a Cook in the Royal Navy it was a shock to see the size of the galley ( that’s the kitchen ) on this Submarine. How ever the one cook worked on this in time of war was unbelievable.
Alliance forms the centrepiece of the Royal Navy Submarine Museum along with Holland I and X24, the museum also contains thousands of photographs, documents, ship plans and artefacts. The Royal Navy Submarine Museum is located in Gosport on the former site of HMS Dolphin; home to the Submarine Service for 100 years. The visit will take about two to two and a half hours to complete. A complimentary waterbus takes visitors across the harbour from Portsmouth Historic Dockyard. This ferry although free with your ticket is not as frequent as the main Gosport ferry.
This for me was a very worthwhile visit, to experience going on a World War Two submarine. You have to book the guided tour inside the shop area before you can gain entrance to this submarine. HMS Alliance is Britain’s only remaining World War II submarine and stands as a memorial to the 5,300 British submariners who have lost their lives in service. This fascinating A class submarine was commissioned and designed in 1945 as WW2 came to a close for service in the Far East. She was launched in 1947 but is typical of the submarines that served throughout WW2. Alliance herself saw service throughout the Cold War years.

Lacock, Wiltshire.
-----------------------
Lacock is a village in Wiltshire, England, 3 miles (5 km) from the town of Chippenham. The village is owned almost in its entirety by the National Trust, and attracts many visitors by virtue of its unspoiled appearance.
Lacock is mentioned in the Domesday book, with a population of 160–190; with two mills and a vineyard. Lacock Abbey was founded on the manorial lands by Ela, Countess of Salisbury and established in 1232; and the village — with the manor — formed its endowment to "God and St Mary". Lacock was granted a market and developed a thriving wool industry during the Middle Ages. Reybridge, and a pack horse ford, remained the only crossing points of the River Avon until the 17th century.
At the Dissolution, the Abbey and estate, including the village were sold to William Sharington, later passing into the Talbot family by marriage.
Most of the surviving houses are 18th-century or earlier in construction. There is a 14th-century tithe barn, a medieval church, and an inn dating from the 15th century and an 18th-century lock-up.
The house eventually passed to the Talbot family. It is most often associated with William Henry Fox Talbot. In 1835 Talbot made the earliest known surviving example of a photographic negative, a photogenic print of the oriel window in the south gallery of the Abbey. Talbot continued with his experiments at the Abbey and by 1840 had discovered the negative/positive process to record photographic images by chemical means.
Lacock is now considered to be the birthplace of photography and the Abbey houses the Fox Talbot Museum devoted to Talbot's pioneering work in photography and the original photograph of the oriel window he developed.
The village has been used as a film and television set, notably for the 1995 BBC production of Pride and Prejudice, the 2007 BBC production of Cranford. It has also made brief appearances in the Harry Potter films Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone and Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. Most recently, in the Spring of 2012, it was a filming location of the fantasy adventure movie Mariah Mundi and the Midas Box, which is scheduled for release in 2013.
KINGS HEAD CLOCK
This Clock Originally stood outside the Kings Head Public House, Hagley Road, and was removed for road widening in 1971
It was renovated, fitted with new electric clock mechanism and erected on this site by the City engineers department on 1st April 1979.
The maker of the original clockwork drive unit was Arthur Walker (1871-1948) who carried out his trade as a clockmaker from 1900 at 31A Vere Street (now demolished). His gear cutting machine and other accessories are kept at the Birmingham Museum of Science and Industry, Newhall Street.(*)
The cast iron components which include the column, turret and crown were made by J and A Law Ironfounders, Glasgow.
The base of the column also served as a horse trough, dog drinking bowl (at ground level) and a supply of water for public use.
The clock faces were originally gas lit and it was necessary to hand wind the clock once a week
TEMPUS FUGIT
*Now also demolished - Not sure if they are on display at the Thinktank or not....

The Clock Tower Fortress: Built in 1859, this sandstone military bastion was strategically built atop Army Point to control the key passageway of Carquinez Strait to the gold mines of the interior and was designed to protect the post from Indian attacks, although the "Old Fort" never fired a shot in anger, even during the alarms of Civil War days.
The three-story structure was as much a fort as storehouse, with its roof crenelated with battlements, and its two towers, like castle keeps, topped by lookouts. These were actually shot towers for the casting of balls for cartridges. The walls were pierced by apertures for cannon, and by slits for defensive, close-in, musket fire. Since hostile Indians were scarce around Benicia, its builder must have had foreign invaders or treasonous rebels in mind. In 1912 a fire resulted in an explosion which decapited the building, sending stones hurtling back to their quarried birthplaces. Red hot metal flew through the air for a hundred yards, as spontaneous combustion on the second floor set off a conflageration which consumed enough supplies for a 30,000-man army, over 15 million rounds of ball cartridges, 34,000 stand of rifles, an undetermined number of small arms, uniforms, shoes, blankets and leggings.
The gutted fortress was rebuilt two years later as a two-story building but with one tower. The name was changed from Old Fort to The Clock Tower. The six-day Seth Thomas clock (now stopped) set into its tower was operated by a mechanism consisting of an unwinding cable, weighted by a cannon ball, on a windlass. Still a large building, its upstairs hall is the largest community facility in Benicia, with a maximum capacity of 750 people (536 seating capacity), serving a variety of uses from community civic functions to dances, private parties, and receptions. It is located in the Arsenal at 1189 Washington Street. For rental information call Parks and Community Services at 707-746-4285.
This clock once belonged to my grandmother and is about 100 years old. It still runs if you wind it and bongs the hours. The window of the clock was refurbished about 15 years ago.
