The laptop had some problems. The keyboard had some kind of error, so I swapped it out. The battery that maintains the clock had long since died, so I replaced that. I removed the main battery and soldered wires to get out-of-the-frame access to the on/off switch. I also brought the backup battery outside the case because I wasn't sure if I'd get a good match.
I was lucky to find PDF's online which detailed how to disassemble and repair IBM Thinkpads.

This hour-striking clock with four dials was installed in 1904 in the New Market in Kirkgate Leeds by Wm Potts and Sons Leeds. The clock was designed by John and Joseph Leeming of London and cost £150. Gerald Balfour MP opened the market and the clock was set going by Alderman Knowles on 1 July 1904.
In Kirkgate Market it had an electric alarm which rang at 5.55, to warn the stall holders that closing time was imminent, and again at 6pm for close of business. The clock was serviced by an engineer who went up inside the tower, pushing up the trapdoor, which he then stood on to work on the clock. Sadly on one occasion, the engineer suffered a fatal electric shock and collapsed on the trap door which made recovery of his body very difficult.
In 1912 it was necessary to resite the market stalls to provide an entrance from Vicar Lane. The clock was removed and placed close to the entrance to Roundhay Park near the entry lodge. This building was demolished in 1937, leaving the clock alone.
In 1941 the movement was replaced by a synchronous drive and the original movement later installed in Leck Parish Church, near Kirkby Lonsdale in Lancashire. The Oakwood clock was restored in 1977.
The most impressive picture of the clock in its original site in Leeds Market is probably this engraving from "The Building News" in 1901:

Leodis carries a number of shots of the clock in the market and at Oakwood, including these:

Clocks by Coldplay. A Kaleidoscope of Neon.
I was asked by the President of Malta, George Abela to work on this project to raise money for the Malta Community Chest Fund. Musical Director, Sigmund Mifsud had already chosen and orchestrated a series of rock classics pieces to be played by the Malta Philharmonic Orchestra. The Rockestra show took place on the 12th September at the MFCC. Ticket sales were expected to be around 3,000 but I am very pleased to say that they sold out at 12,000. This is the largest indoor event ever held in Malta.
The evening included pieces by Coldplay, Pink Floyd, Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, Bob Marley, The Eagles and John Miles, so had a strong 70’s leaning and I wanted to reflect that in the imagery.
The local artists were The Riffs, Jotham Saliba, Claire Caruana, Alex Bezzina, Raquela, Neville Refalo, Daniel Cauchi, Ruben Zahra, Paul Borg Bonaci and DJ Owen.

The Flickr Lounge-Clock Or Time
I like this clock, it also shows the time, temperature and humidity. It is in my laundry room actually.
The upper circular component (an astrolbe or simple planetarium) was installed in 1410 and has run more-or-less continuously since then. There are several moving parts, including the outer zodiacal ring and symbols representing the sun and moon whose positions vary with the celestial locations of these bodies. Rumor has it that the craftsman who made this mechanism was blinded so that he could not replicate this invention in any other city. At the top, under the arched portico, a golden rooster crows three times at the conclusion of each hourly episode. On the hour, the two blue doors open to reveal the passage of two sets of 6 carved apostles, added in the 17th century. Four animated statues flank the astronomical clock; the two on the left represent Vanity and Greed, while the two on the right embody Death and Lust. (Prague: Old Town Hall: 19-21 May, 2017)

Currently sampling paint colors. We wanted an avocado/lime color to match our sofa on the wall behind our hutch/clock. Living with this for a while to see how we like it.
(Clock was a xmas gift I bought for Andis this year. Owls and mid-century Godiva sculpture are family heirlooms we inherited.)
The astrological clock in Prague. It does some funny stuff on the hour, but as you can see is very popular. I can only imagine what this looks like in the summer!

Shot for Active Assignment Weekly, the monthly theme "Outdoor Clocks".
A fun assignment that learned me to look for something that I was not aware of. Also, I learned that we do not have really beautiful clocks in my part of the world, or at least not to my knowledge. It is the environment that makes them interesting.
