Super retro vintage flip clock, made by General Electric likely in the 1960s. Mod design with rounded corners and oh-so cool details.
The clock over the Corn Exchange with its two minute hands. Bristol being 2 degrees, 36 minutes west of Greenwich, the sun is at its noon peak nearly eleven minutes later than at Greenwich. Prior to the railways, this time difference scarcely mattered, most towns keeping their own time. 1841 saw the first train pull in to Temple Meads station, heralding the dawn of the rail era in Bristol. Since the railways ran on Greenwich Mean Time, this meant Bristolians had to compensate for the eleven minutes difference. Thus the noon train would leave at 1149 hrs local time; to assist travellers, clocks were given two minute hands, Bristol Time and GMT. Bristol adopted GMT in 1852, ending this discrepancy.
To me, CMU is like jail. When I was in, I wanted out. Now that I'm out, I want back in. Anyhow, here's the nice clock.
The famous Wells clock is considered to be the second oldest clock mechanism in Britain, and probably in the world, to survive in original condition and still in use.
The original works were made about 1390 and the clock face is the oldest surviving original of its kind anywhere.When the clock strikes every quarter, jousting knights rush round above the clock and the Quarter Jack bangs the quarter hours with his heels.

My MIL has this big grand-father clock in her living room. I thought it had a neat design, as well as the "pendant" having a cool, convex reflection.
Fr: Ma belle-mere a une horloge suisse chez elle. Je pensais que son design etait sympa, ainsi que le reflet convexe du "pendant".

The project for March is Pr0JCL0C, a simple timer to help me keep track of time spent on a project (it's also a clock). The Green button starts timing, the Red button stops. Session times are added to a running total which is stored in the Arduino's EEPROM. I implemented simple wear levelling to preserve the EEPROM.
This is not about seeing how fast I can do something but curiosity about how long some of these projects take. Often I'll go into the den and emerge several hours later. And then do it again the next night. Occasionally I take rough notes about session times but I thought it would be fun to make it easier to do.

I used an old Canon optical image stabilizer lens [EF-S 17-85mm 1:4-5.6 IS USM] on an EOS 450D DSLR. With exposures of up to a 1/4 of a second, most of the images had to be discarded, and the remainder are very "grainy" / "noisy", but the pictures at least form a sort of record of the event...
