Enfield clocks
1929 The company was formed to manufacture clocks in the manner of the German factories. C. Schatz, the main force behind the company obtained suitable premises and brought in machinery and a core of workers from Germany
In 1933 Smiths bought Enfield clocks.
In the late 1940s, the Smiths Group decided to close down the Enfield Edmonton factory.
It is at about this time that The Enfield Clock Co ceased to advertise independently and became just another part of the Smiths Group
The Clock Tower is a landmark in Hong Kong. It is located on the southern shore of Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon. It is the only remnant of the original site of the former Kowloon Station on the Kowloon-Canton Railway.
Standing 44-metres tall, the old Clock Tower was erected in 1915 as part of the Kowloon–Canton Railway terminus. The once-bustling station is long gone, but this red brick and granite tower, survives as an elegant reminder of the Age of Steam. It has also been a memorable landmark for the millions of Chinese immigrants who passed through the terminus to begin new lives not just in Hong Kong, but in other parts of the world via the city’s harbour.
The bottom part is an astronomical clock. More information at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zytglogge

My father bought this clock as a gift to my mother and had a plaque made with an inscription of his love for her. Unfortunately, it was near the time when she was diagnosed with cancer. They new her time was limited, and this clock, with it's inscription, was special to her.
Some time after she passed away, my sister came to be the owner of the clock, and by then my father had also died. My sister had a new plaque made, with the message: "In loving memory of Tom and Barbara Higgins" .

I had purchased the old score wheels off ebay and it came with a bunch of old, cloth insulated wires attached to it. so I striped a few off. gives it that nice old look. better than the look of the new red and black wires.
The Dandelion Clock
A children's amusement in which the number of puffs needed to blow the filamentous achenes from a dandelion is supposed to tell the time.

David Wright, an 8 year old school boy from Bath, yesterday failed to arrive back into his school class on time after lunch due to the failure of a dandelion clock to give him an accurate reading.
"I had a feeling that I'd been out on the playing field for about an hour so I blew on the seed head to find out the time." said a distraught David from the detention room. "It told me it was still one o'clock so I stayed out a while longer until another dandelion informed me that it was two o'clock, so I went back to class, only to find myself getting a stiff telling off for playing truant".
The Secretary of State for the Environment, has expressed deep concern about the case and is to launch a public enquiry iinto whether global warming is to blame for the strange behaviour of the nation's flora, and to what extent the damage extends. "I'm just hoping that dock leaves will still be an effective remedy for nettle stings, and that the petal plucking "she-loves-me-she-loves-me-not" test contunues to provide effective relationship advice to lovestruck swains".

The dandelion clock is a very strange clock.
It doesn't say tick, and it doesn't say tock.
It hasn't a cuckoo. It hasn't a chime.
I don't think it can really tell me the time

Be silent child
when you dream
your thoughts are sweet
like dandelions
they grow beyond
a hollow stalk
and burst into a flower.
What seems a weed
to a passersby
is really all you have
of hope
and when you blow
its pearl globe
you'll live inside
the wind..
