Partially restored. I need to replace some bushings on the back plate(thats why its still in primer). Some of the wheels still need polished and jeweled. Thinking of adding some pinstriping also. Maybe red and gold??
We call this lovely flower a clock flower since it has a time, a minute, and a second hands just like a clock~ What do you call this lady?
booyah! Today, I went to a trip to IKEA! (at least, the first time I remember: apparently I had been there before but at an younger age, or so my parents say =)) I went there with my sis who needed stuff to decorated and fill her new place & such and I: I needed a new clock.
Yesterday my clock just failed like *snap* just like that.. How weird is that?! tried replacing batteries but it would not go back to ticking any more, and trust me, my previous clock was supposed to go: tick tick...

Nice wander around sunny Chester this morning. Christo was there wrapping up the bridge gate and clock or it's being refurbished I guess.
Back today from the Clock Repairers after a full service, clean, chime repair and adjustments (which has taken four months). Works perfectly and the chime sounds as good as ever. I am in the process of adjusting the pendulum to set the right time according to the instructions given by City Clocks www.cityclocksdirect.com/ who did the job.
I'm very pleased with it!
Owari clock needs some work. Laquered case pretty loose at all joints, broken trim. Movement dirty and not running.
Clock on the side of an office building in Shinodome, Tokyo. It looks ghibli-inspired to me.

Close up of the detail on the lower facia of my old clock, this is all in cast brass. Any information on this or such clocks is most welcomed.
The Bundy clock was an American invention used by transport companies to monitor timekeeping. The driver would have to insert a key at the stop in order to record his progress on a paper tape. The letters BCT stand for Birmingham City Transport, and these clocks date back to the tram era. As I recall, this one was still in use in 1974 on the Outer Circle bus route, which also featured some of the oldest buses still running then. There's more on this unusual relic at this blog thebeautyoftransport.com/2017/01/18/obscure-objects-of-tr...

This building (1955-1959) is named after Bernard Bracken, former chairman of the Financial Times, which was published here until the 1980s. The building was among the first post-war buildings in the City to be listed and its redevelopment retained the entire outside facade, including the elegant astronomical clock approximately 1 metre in diameter bearing at its centre a face of Winston Churchill, a personal friend of Bernard Bracken.
The work of Philip Bentham in gilt metal and enamel, it has echoes of the formality and sophistication of a dial. Embellished with Roman numerals, it depicts months of the year, signs of the zodiac and a sunburst motif.
Once again we have to go through the half-yearly rigmarole of re-setting the clocks. I wish we would have just one time throughout the year. Back in the early seventies this was tried with British Standard Time - which was one hour ahead of GMT. The problem was that winter mornings were pretty dark, especially in the north of Scotland. However, overall road casualties were reduced as the lighter evenings were safer.
Like most people I have so many clocks around the house now - some of which set themselves - and while this one (quaint isn't it) is effected by turning a little wheel inside, others, like the 'phone, require me to find and follow a series of rather complex instructions.

Kern Jewelers used to occupy this space on Woodward Avenue. The building was demolished in 1966, but the clock was preserved. After Compuware built its HQ on the site, it paid to restore and and the clock and install it near its original location.
