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.

The public clock of San Fernando de Montecristi, is the symbol of this city, was built by an initiative of the Venezuelan Benigno Daniel Conde, who collected funds for purchase. Made in France by the clockmaker Jean Paul Garnier, reaches 96 feet (30 meters). It initially worked in the French town of Saint-Germain-en-Laye. Once arrived by sea at Dominican Republic, it was transported by tram to its original place, the Parque Duarte (former Plaza de Armas), where it was installed on March 11, 1895 and inaugurated on June 29 of that year. To its inauguration celebrations attended Dominican Generalissimo Máximo Gómez and José MartÃ, Cuban Apostle, who said: "This clock will soon mark Cuba redemption." | Data from Montecristi LIVE.
Back in March 2004 (hey, 8 years ago), we were diagnosing the first failures of the stepper-driven clock face. Clock faces (like this one) are NOT designed to be laid flat and be stomped on! It makes the hands rattle and strike each other.
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.
Anniversary clock German made Schatz. 1000 day movement, 4 ball pendulum. all brass construction. Plastic dome cover. This guy got good stamina...can last 1000 days with one winding:)
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
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.
Potton's pretty little clock tower cum library cum police office provides a welcome splash of colour on a cold, wet and grey winter's day.
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.
China made mechanical alarm clock, one day winding with moving hen's head while the clock is running. This is a female clock :)

Play with contrasting scale today: juxtapose something small with something big!
Back when I was teaching in the late 90s,I had a Mac G3 with a matching monitor www.mrmartinweb.com/images/computer/macg3bluemonitor.jpg that sat on my desk. One of my students appeared on day with this clock which so closely resembled the monitor. They sat on my desk together at work. Here it is on my latest Mac - a MacBook Pro.

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.
