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.
In the restaurant Zur Hauptache in Rendsburg. Know nothing about the clock but the lettering is terrific. Clock keeps accurate time too.
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 zoo's centenary.
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.
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
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.
My clock suddenly started working. When I shut the car off I thought the fuel pump hadn't turned off until I realized it was the clock. It is a little bit noisy but you can't hear it in the video. It has since started and stopped a few other times. Ultra boring video (and poor quality - a one-two punch) but who knows how much longer it will continue to work. These automotive clocks in the 70s were not high quality pieces.
It's almost time for the Instructable EPILOG laser cutter contest to start again, and I'm planning on writing up the process for this great new clock I've been working on.
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 clock tower at the top of this building in Brooklyn is home to a rather famous penthouse apartment.

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.
华安大楼，后称华侨饭店及金门大酒店（英语：Pacific Hotel），位于上海南京西路104号，对面是人民公园，现在是上海市优秀近代建筑保护单位。建筑由哈沙德洋行设计，工程专家康益督工，江裕记营造厂施工，并在1926年5月建成[1]。1989年，华安大楼入选第一批上海市优秀历史建筑。现时，华安大楼为金门大酒店，由锦江国际酒店集团管理。
华安大楼建筑面积共1.4万平方米，高38.16米，共9层[2]，是新古典主义建筑，同时采用了多种风格装饰。大楼为意大利宫殿式建筑，平面呈工字形。底层外墙为花岗石，墙面为水泥錾假石。大门处分为三段，使用了多立克式柱子，而大楼一、二层则采用了爱奥尼克式的柱廊。中央顶部设有塔楼，上层为塔什干柱，下层为科林斯式环柱，屋顶的钟楼高为9米。
1939年，大楼被一香港华侨租下，并更名为金门大酒店，成为了上海滩的一家知名酒店。1945年抗日战争胜利后，为了纪念日本在芷江向中国军队呈投降书，酒店楼下设立了芷江厅。1950年酒店停业并在1958年改名华侨饭店。当时，华侨饭店与锦江饭店、国际饭店等并称为“八大饭店”。1992年，恢复原名，后来在1998年进行了大规模的装修。
This face belongs, I think, to Queen Victoria.
I say, 'I think', because I can't actually find this information. I'm working on the assumption that because she's wearing a crown and the station was built during her reign, I'm stumped as to who else it could be.
She peers out of the side of Exchange Station in Liverpool, face netted and forever separated from her beloved Prince Albert by a ruddy great decorated clock, which no-one has had the courtesy to wind up recently (I took the photo at around 3.45 this afternoon).
