Clocks I made for my Architecture of Objects Course. Inspired by Art Deco style desk clocks from the 1920's - 30's

My wife's grandfather was given this clock as a leaving present, after working for 45 years for British Rail.
Today the Hereios of the We're Here! group are getting into black and white details.
200 day clock, German-made Haller. This is an unusual torsion clock which is designed to run for only 200 days instead of the usual 400 days. There is an unique slip-mechanism for winding up the main spring which prevent overwinding (just like a mechanical watch) not commonly found in most design. Gold colour finish throughout and a standard 400 day clock flora face. The 4 support columns (usually there are 2) is another unique feature of this clock. This is a modern '400 day' clock made in the late 90’s. This must be one of the very last mechanical torsion clock ever produced by Haller or for that matter, any mfg in the world. About 12 “ tall under glass dome cover. I bought it brand new in 2002

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
Clock and jeweler historian Paul Middents gave a half-hour talk discussing the history of street clocks in Seattle and Bremerton, and focusing on the life and career of Joseph Mayer. Mayer manufactured perhaps 100 street clocks in addition to manufacturing spoons, urns, trophies, medals, streetcar tokens and other items.
The audience at the Kitsap County Historical Society was comprised of street clock fans and experts from around the country.
We visited the clock on the screen the previous day: www.flickr.com/photos/tigerzombie/15335618391/in/photostr...

this large clock with it's numbers scattered around its face is in one of the side entrances to the L'Illa building in Barcelona. It was designed by Javier Mariscal in 1994 for the Swiss company Winterthur.
I particularly like the way the number 6 blocks the entrance stairway!

Graham's 52 Challenge, Week 3 "Black and White"
As you can see, I've not desaturated!
Taken with my newly bought Lensbaby fisheye on the Olympus EM10.
Stupidly I bought a 4/3rds Olympus lens on eBay, but the EM10 is a micro 4/3rds, so had to buy a adaptor. Anyways, still cheaper than buying a new Lensbaby, not that they seem to make a micro 4/3rds one, yet! Thanks Darren for telling me which adaptor I needed, coz I would have got that wrong as well......I'm not safe on eBay :))
Hoher Markt, Vienna. Designed by Franz Matsch for Anker Insurance Co and built 1911-17 and originally intended to commemorate an Austrian Victory in the Great War. Rulers of Austria move through the windows either side as time passes.
On our recent visit to Buckingham Palace I noticed this, it is a clock, yes a clock. Built by Jean Antoine Lépine in 1790. With her bow and quiver this figure resembles an African Diana, goddess of the Hunt, a theme continued in the central plaque of the base where putti are shown carrying dead game on a stretcher. A pull of the left earring will prompt the clock to play one of its eight tunes, whilst a pull of the right will reveal the hours in the figure’s left eye and the minutes in her right. How about that!!
I think it dates from the 1920's. Or maybe it is even older.
Despertador antic. Crec que data del 1920. O potser encara és més vell.
Detail of the longcase clock at my grandparents' house.
It always looked funny to me the roman number 4 as IIII (instead of IV), but seems common in clock dials.
Another shot of Winthrop Hall (University of Western Australia).
"At its highest point Winthrop Hall’s Clock Towers measures 150 feet. As well as the clock, it has six rooms that originally accommodated staff and research students.
A Melbourne company, Messrs Ingran Bros, installed the first clock in 1929. The dial was made of 'opus sectile', an enamel finish on tile. After 1945 Ennis and Sons rebuilt the master clock. The dial was replaced in 1953 with one made of terracotta. In 1964 Mr Ron Ennis installed a new electric master clock."
The astronomical clock on the Heilbronn city hall was built in 1580. New works were built for the clock in 1896. The clock was destroyed in World War II, and the same company built new works after the war.
A trip up to near the Canadian border to collect some trees for our garden lead me to Fairhaven on my way back for lunch. A nice little touristy place south of Bellingham. It had a clock....

I'm making Steampunk-style paper horses using the templates by Artist Ann Wood for the Fourth Annual Paper Cowgirl Art Retreat coming up in Waxahachie, TX, June 9-11, 2011.
I made this antique, vintage-style clock face by scanning a finding, then darkening the edges in Photoshop.
Feel free to use this in all your own work--I copied it several times and made a template so I could make "clockworks" for my paper ponies' legs.
Just don't redistribute the original as your own work! T4L-agree.

Vion A80 Marine Clock with four Silence Zones. The silence zones indicate that for 3 minutes after the hour, the half hour and each quarter, radio silence should be maintained in order that any distress calls can clearly be heard by the emergency services.
The Astronomical Clock at Bracken House, Cannon Street, London.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
What makes (the original) Bracken House unique is the attention to detail and quality of material: the oak-leaf decoration around the main Cannon Street entrance, the lantern, the boxed-out bronze oriel windows with the free-standing ‘Egyptian’ columns, also made of bronze, and of course, the astronomical clock. It was designed in 1959 in gilt metal and enamel and shows Roman numerals, the months, and the signs of the zodiac, with the sun in the centre. The original design was even more elaborate and framed by Atlas figures, but they were lost in the final execution. A drawing of the first design was shown at the 1955 Royal Academy Exhibition by Albert Richardson himself, who was at the time President to the Academy. The zodiac signs have been ascribed to Frank Dobson and the face (as well as the oak-leaf mouldings around the door) is the work of Phillip Bentham.(4) And yes, the face in the sun does resemble Winston Churchill, a tribute to him as Bracken‘s personal friend.
Bracken House was built in the second half of the 1950s to house the Financial Times and named after Brendan Bracken (1901-1958), the former chairman of the paper. The building was designed by Bracken’s friend Sir Albert Richardson (1880-1964) who deliberately made use of pink brick and Hollington sandstone to reflect the colour of the newspaper. The design was “a curious mixture of Italian Renaissance and Swedish twentieth-century neo-classical elements”.(1) It consisted of two separate elevations, one on Cannon Street and one on Queen Victoria Street with the utilitarian printing works in between. Because the site was not exactly rectangular or square and because Distaff Lane and Friday Street on either side of the building slope down towards the river, not to mention the existence of St. Nicholas Cole Abbey in the southwest corner, the two elevations do not align properly and the 24 floor levels inside were ‘complicated’ to say the least.
