This friendly uncle is the owner of a watch/clock shop at Bentong, Pahang, Malaysia.. His friends used to call him "Botak" (bald or 光頭). According to one of his customers, this uncle suddenly grew thick hairs few years ago. For those who wants thick hairs may contact him. LOL.

Job Koelewijn, The Clockshop, 2003, at the exhibition "The Route is Being Recalculated", Museum De Pont, Tilburg
Being late for everything, I decided to get my clock fixed finally so I headed over to the Clock Shop located next to that fabulous Camera Shop that destroyed my camera. You'd think I would of known better.
View on black or I'll throw clock parts at ya.

On the desk is a store bought box I’m turning into a miniature clock shop. I’ve replaced all the glass with either ‘walls’ or plexiglass. Wiring for lights has been a bit tricky, but I’m working on it.
The American Clock Company, in Claremont California, is one of the few shops that can repair very old clocks.
Longtime owner and master clock repair technician Vic Garcia is the son of a master clock technician who had a clock repair shop in Los Angeles for many years. Vic has a long waiting list.
My clock shop is finished, except for adding more little clocks on the shelves. I thought I had more, but I can’t find them. Anyway…..it’s done.

Pearl C. Hsiung : born in 1973 in Taiwan, explores the space that lies between representation and abstraction. Hsiung creates a surreal realm of absurd anthropomorphism and metaphor--where humanity may be absent, yet symbolic traces still linger. Her intensely colorful large-scale canvases, small studies, and performance videos challenge the banality of the pristine images that dominate post-minimalist contemporary art. Even so, her compositions draw on the histories of painting, alluding to European fauvism and surrealism, Chinese landscape painting, American abstraction, and pop aesthetics. Pearl C. Hsiung received her BA at the University of California, Los Angeles (1997) and her MFA at Goldsmiths College, London (2004). Hsiung's work has been featured in the 2006 California Biennial and Disorderly Conduct: Art in Tumultuous Times (2008), both at the Orange County Museum of Art; and the 2006 Busan Biennale in South Korea. Hsiung lives and works in Los Angeles.

Formerly a massive rail yard and switching station, the Bowtie was purchased by CA State Parks in 2003 to be developed as a public park and greenway. The Bowtie Project is curated by Clockshop, in close collaboration with CA State Parks. Invited artists are commissioned to create temporary artworks or performances that consider the unique physical properties of the site and engage in timely conversations about the future of the LA River.
Public Programs including the LA River Campouts and Reading By Moonrise provide opportunities for Angelenos of all ages to gather under the stars for traditional campfire programs and readings of new work from contemporary writers.
The Bowtie was formerly the site of a Southern Pacific Railroad train yard and maintenance facility. The railroad closed the facility in 1985, and the structures were razed shortly after, although some concrete foundational relics remain on site. The Bowtie is located along the 7.5-mile Glendale Narrows stretch of the LA River, which connects Los Feliz Boulevard with Figueroa Street. The Glendale Narrows portion of the river is âsoft-bottom,â meaning that it features a naturalized rather than a concrete bed. The site has been identified as a key location for river revitalization.
Through an exclusive partnership formalized in 2015, Clockshop and CA State Parks will continue producing cultural programs at the Bowtie Project for the next several years.
The CCF Fellowship for Visual Artists is celebrating 28 years of playing an active role in supporting local visual artists in Los Angeles.
Los Angeles County is rich with creativity. We are a community where cultures converge to create a beautiful mélange of originality, diversity, synchronicity and dissonance. This energy has helped establish L.A. as a world-class art capital and a place where we proudly practice, support and value a wide array of artistic endeavors.
The CCF Fellowship for Visual Artists is just one of many ways that the California Community Foundation supports the arts by supporting those responsible for its very creation â artists.
The Fellowship brings together artists, arts patrons, and the community, creating a mutually beneficial program that has supported 274 artists over the last 28 years. We invite you to get involved and celebrate an artist today.
Together, we help L.A. artists thrive.
One of the landmark buildings in downtown Staunton, Virginia, is the clock tower, originally built in 1890. A restaurant with the Clock Tower name is currently located in the tower at street level, and the building next door houses a clock shop. With both signs close to each other, here's a crop of a larger photo that features them. Information from the restaurant's website.

Los Angeles, CA 90039
MAP
Formerly a massive rail yard and switching station, the Bowtie was purchased by CA State Parks in 2003 to be developed as a public park and greenway. The Bowtie Project is curated by Clockshop, in close collaboration with CA State Parks. Invited artists are commissioned to create temporary artworks or performances that consider the unique physical properties of the site and engage in timely conversations about the future of the LA River.
Public Programs including the LA River Campouts and Reading By Moonrise provide opportunities for Angelenos of all ages to gather under the stars for traditional campfire programs and readings of new work from contemporary writers.
The Bowtie was formerly the site of a Southern Pacific Railroad train yard and maintenance facility. The railroad closed the facility in 1985, and the structures were razed shortly after, although some concrete foundational relics remain on site. The Bowtie is located along the 7.5-mile Glendale Narrows stretch of the LA River, which connects Los Feliz Boulevard with Figueroa Street. The Glendale Narrows portion of the river is âsoft-bottom,â meaning that it features a naturalized rather than a concrete bed. The site has been identified as a key location for river revitalization.
Through an exclusive partnership formalized in 2015, Clockshop and CA State Parks will continue producing cultural programs at the Bowtie Project for the next several years.
The CCF Fellowship for Visual Artists is celebrating 28 years of playing an active role in supporting local visual artists in Los Angeles.
Los Angeles County is rich with creativity. We are a community where cultures converge to create a beautiful mélange of originality, diversity, synchronicity and dissonance. This energy has helped establish L.A. as a world-class art capital and a place where we proudly practice, support and value a wide array of artistic endeavors.
The CCF Fellowship for Visual Artists is just one of many ways that the California Community Foundation supports the arts by supporting those responsible for its very creation â artists.
The Fellowship brings together artists, arts patrons, and the community, creating a mutually beneficial program that has supported 274 artists over the last 28 years. We invite you to get involved and celebrate an artist today.
Together, we help L.A. artists thrive.

Pearl C. Hsiung : born in 1973 in Taiwan, explores the space that lies between representation and abstraction. Hsiung creates a surreal realm of absurd anthropomorphism and metaphor--where humanity may be absent, yet symbolic traces still linger. Her intensely colorful large-scale canvases, small studies, and performance videos challenge the banality of the pristine images that dominate post-minimalist contemporary art. Even so, her compositions draw on the histories of painting, alluding to European fauvism and surrealism, Chinese landscape painting, American abstraction, and pop aesthetics. Pearl C. Hsiung received her BA at the University of California, Los Angeles (1997) and her MFA at Goldsmiths College, London (2004). Hsiung's work has been featured in the 2006 California Biennial and Disorderly Conduct: Art in Tumultuous Times (2008), both at the Orange County Museum of Art; and the 2006 Busan Biennale in South Korea. Hsiung lives and works in Los Angeles.

Pearl C. Hsiung : born in 1973 in Taiwan, explores the space that lies between representation and abstraction. Hsiung creates a surreal realm of absurd anthropomorphism and metaphor--where humanity may be absent, yet symbolic traces still linger. Her intensely colorful large-scale canvases, small studies, and performance videos challenge the banality of the pristine images that dominate post-minimalist contemporary art. Even so, her compositions draw on the histories of painting, alluding to European fauvism and surrealism, Chinese landscape painting, American abstraction, and pop aesthetics. Pearl C. Hsiung received her BA at the University of California, Los Angeles (1997) and her MFA at Goldsmiths College, London (2004). Hsiung's work has been featured in the 2006 California Biennial and Disorderly Conduct: Art in Tumultuous Times (2008), both at the Orange County Museum of Art; and the 2006 Busan Biennale in South Korea. Hsiung lives and works in Los Angeles.

Schnitger works in knitted and sewn textile sculptures, videos and photographs, and has produced a book about art created from mundane materials such as fabric, titled Lara Schnitger: Fragile Kingdom.
Schnitgerâs work has been shown internationally at galleries and museums such as Magasin 3 in Stockholm, the Chinese European Art Center in Xiamen, the Santa Monica Museum of Art, Kunstwerke in Berlin, the UCLA Hammer Museum in Los Angeles, P.S. 1 Contemporary Art Center in New York, The Power Plant in Toronto, and the Royal Academy in London.

Los Angeles, CA 90039
MAP
Formerly a massive rail yard and switching station, the Bowtie was purchased by CA State Parks in 2003 to be developed as a public park and greenway. The Bowtie Project is curated by Clockshop, in close collaboration with CA State Parks. Invited artists are commissioned to create temporary artworks or performances that consider the unique physical properties of the site and engage in timely conversations about the future of the LA River.
Public Programs including the LA River Campouts and Reading By Moonrise provide opportunities for Angelenos of all ages to gather under the stars for traditional campfire programs and readings of new work from contemporary writers.
The Bowtie was formerly the site of a Southern Pacific Railroad train yard and maintenance facility. The railroad closed the facility in 1985, and the structures were razed shortly after, although some concrete foundational relics remain on site. The Bowtie is located along the 7.5-mile Glendale Narrows stretch of the LA River, which connects Los Feliz Boulevard with Figueroa Street. The Glendale Narrows portion of the river is âsoft-bottom,â meaning that it features a naturalized rather than a concrete bed. The site has been identified as a key location for river revitalization.
Through an exclusive partnership formalized in 2015, Clockshop and CA State Parks will continue producing cultural programs at the Bowtie Project for the next several years.
The CCF Fellowship for Visual Artists is celebrating 28 years of playing an active role in supporting local visual artists in Los Angeles.
Los Angeles County is rich with creativity. We are a community where cultures converge to create a beautiful mélange of originality, diversity, synchronicity and dissonance. This energy has helped establish L.A. as a world-class art capital and a place where we proudly practice, support and value a wide array of artistic endeavors.
The CCF Fellowship for Visual Artists is just one of many ways that the California Community Foundation supports the arts by supporting those responsible for its very creation â artists.
The Fellowship brings together artists, arts patrons, and the community, creating a mutually beneficial program that has supported 274 artists over the last 28 years. We invite you to get involved and celebrate an artist today.
Together, we help L.A. artists thrive.

Pearl C. Hsiung : born in 1973 in Taiwan, explores the space that lies between representation and abstraction. Hsiung creates a surreal realm of absurd anthropomorphism and metaphor--where humanity may be absent, yet symbolic traces still linger. Her intensely colorful large-scale canvases, small studies, and performance videos challenge the banality of the pristine images that dominate post-minimalist contemporary art. Even so, her compositions draw on the histories of painting, alluding to European fauvism and surrealism, Chinese landscape painting, American abstraction, and pop aesthetics. Pearl C. Hsiung received her BA at the University of California, Los Angeles (1997) and her MFA at Goldsmiths College, London (2004). Hsiung's work has been featured in the 2006 California Biennial and Disorderly Conduct: Art in Tumultuous Times (2008), both at the Orange County Museum of Art; and the 2006 Busan Biennale in South Korea. Hsiung lives and works in Los Angeles.

Schnitger works in knitted and sewn textile sculptures, videos and photographs, and has produced a book about art created from mundane materials such as fabric, titled Lara Schnitger: Fragile Kingdom.
Schnitgerâs work has been shown internationally at galleries and museums such as Magasin 3 in Stockholm, the Chinese European Art Center in Xiamen, the Santa Monica Museum of Art, Kunstwerke in Berlin, the UCLA Hammer Museum in Los Angeles, P.S. 1 Contemporary Art Center in New York, The Power Plant in Toronto, and the Royal Academy in London.

Los Angeles, CA 90039
MAP
Formerly a massive rail yard and switching station, the Bowtie was purchased by CA State Parks in 2003 to be developed as a public park and greenway. The Bowtie Project is curated by Clockshop, in close collaboration with CA State Parks. Invited artists are commissioned to create temporary artworks or performances that consider the unique physical properties of the site and engage in timely conversations about the future of the LA River.
Public Programs including the LA River Campouts and Reading By Moonrise provide opportunities for Angelenos of all ages to gather under the stars for traditional campfire programs and readings of new work from contemporary writers.
The Bowtie was formerly the site of a Southern Pacific Railroad train yard and maintenance facility. The railroad closed the facility in 1985, and the structures were razed shortly after, although some concrete foundational relics remain on site. The Bowtie is located along the 7.5-mile Glendale Narrows stretch of the LA River, which connects Los Feliz Boulevard with Figueroa Street. The Glendale Narrows portion of the river is âsoft-bottom,â meaning that it features a naturalized rather than a concrete bed. The site has been identified as a key location for river revitalization.
Through an exclusive partnership formalized in 2015, Clockshop and CA State Parks will continue producing cultural programs at the Bowtie Project for the next several years.
The CCF Fellowship for Visual Artists is celebrating 28 years of playing an active role in supporting local visual artists in Los Angeles.
Los Angeles County is rich with creativity. We are a community where cultures converge to create a beautiful mélange of originality, diversity, synchronicity and dissonance. This energy has helped establish L.A. as a world-class art capital and a place where we proudly practice, support and value a wide array of artistic endeavors.
The CCF Fellowship for Visual Artists is just one of many ways that the California Community Foundation supports the arts by supporting those responsible for its very creation â artists.
The Fellowship brings together artists, arts patrons, and the community, creating a mutually beneficial program that has supported 274 artists over the last 28 years. We invite you to get involved and celebrate an artist today.
Together, we help L.A. artists thrive.

The CCF Fellowship for Visual Artists is celebrating 28 years of playing an active role in supporting local visual artists in Los Angeles.
Los Angeles County is rich with creativity. We are a community where cultures converge to create a beautiful mélange of originality, diversity, synchronicity and dissonance. This energy has helped establish L.A. as a world-class art capital and a place where we proudly practice, support and value a wide array of artistic endeavors.
The CCF Fellowship for Visual Artists is just one of many ways that the California Community Foundation supports the arts by supporting those responsible for its very creation â artists.
The Fellowship brings together artists, arts patrons, and the community, creating a mutually beneficial program that has supported 274 artists over the last 28 years. We invite you to get involved and celebrate an artist today.
Together, we help L.A. artists thrive.

Pearl C. Hsiung : born in 1973 in Taiwan, explores the space that lies between representation and abstraction. Hsiung creates a surreal realm of absurd anthropomorphism and metaphor--where humanity may be absent, yet symbolic traces still linger. Her intensely colorful large-scale canvases, small studies, and performance videos challenge the banality of the pristine images that dominate post-minimalist contemporary art. Even so, her compositions draw on the histories of painting, alluding to European fauvism and surrealism, Chinese landscape painting, American abstraction, and pop aesthetics. Pearl C. Hsiung received her BA at the University of California, Los Angeles (1997) and her MFA at Goldsmiths College, London (2004). Hsiung's work has been featured in the 2006 California Biennial and Disorderly Conduct: Art in Tumultuous Times (2008), both at the Orange County Museum of Art; and the 2006 Busan Biennale in South Korea. Hsiung lives and works in Los Angeles.

Schnitger works in knitted and sewn textile sculptures, videos and photographs, and has produced a book about art created from mundane materials such as fabric, titled Lara Schnitger: Fragile Kingdom.
Schnitgerâs work has been shown internationally at galleries and museums such as Magasin 3 in Stockholm, the Chinese European Art Center in Xiamen, the Santa Monica Museum of Art, Kunstwerke in Berlin, the UCLA Hammer Museum in Los Angeles, P.S. 1 Contemporary Art Center in New York, The Power Plant in Toronto, and the Royal Academy in London.

Formerly a massive rail yard and switching station, the Bowtie was purchased by CA State Parks in 2003 to be developed as a public park and greenway. The Bowtie Project is curated by Clockshop, in close collaboration with CA State Parks. Invited artists are commissioned to create temporary artworks or performances that consider the unique physical properties of the site and engage in timely conversations about the future of the LA River.
Public Programs including the LA River Campouts and Reading By Moonrise provide opportunities for Angelenos of all ages to gather under the stars for traditional campfire programs and readings of new work from contemporary writers.
The Bowtie was formerly the site of a Southern Pacific Railroad train yard and maintenance facility. The railroad closed the facility in 1985, and the structures were razed shortly after, although some concrete foundational relics remain on site. The Bowtie is located along the 7.5-mile Glendale Narrows stretch of the LA River, which connects Los Feliz Boulevard with Figueroa Street. The Glendale Narrows portion of the river is âsoft-bottom,â meaning that it features a naturalized rather than a concrete bed. The site has been identified as a key location for river revitalization.

Formerly a massive rail yard and switching station, the Bowtie was purchased by CA State Parks in 2003 to be developed as a public park and greenway. The Bowtie Project is curated by Clockshop, in close collaboration with CA State Parks. Invited artists are commissioned to create temporary artworks or performances that consider the unique physical properties of the site and engage in timely conversations about the future of the LA River.
Public Programs including the LA River Campouts and Reading By Moonrise provide opportunities for Angelenos of all ages to gather under the stars for traditional campfire programs and readings of new work from contemporary writers.
The Bowtie was formerly the site of a Southern Pacific Railroad train yard and maintenance facility. The railroad closed the facility in 1985, and the structures were razed shortly after, although some concrete foundational relics remain on site. The Bowtie is located along the 7.5-mile Glendale Narrows stretch of the LA River, which connects Los Feliz Boulevard with Figueroa Street. The Glendale Narrows portion of the river is âsoft-bottom,â meaning that it features a naturalized rather than a concrete bed. The site has been identified as a key location for river revitalization.
Through an exclusive partnership formalized in 2015, Clockshop and CA State Parks will continue producing cultural programs at the Bowtie Project for the next several years.
The CCF Fellowship for Visual Artists is celebrating 28 years of playing an active role in supporting local visual artists in Los Angeles.
Los Angeles County is rich with creativity. We are a community where cultures converge to create a beautiful mélange of originality, diversity, synchronicity and dissonance. This energy has helped establish L.A. as a world-class art capital and a place where we proudly practice, support and value a wide array of artistic endeavors.
The CCF Fellowship for Visual Artists is just one of many ways that the California Community Foundation supports the arts by supporting those responsible for its very creation â artists.
The Fellowship brings together artists, arts patrons, and the community, creating a mutually beneficial program that has supported 274 artists over the last 28 years. We invite you to get involved and celebrate an artist today.
Together, we help L.A. artists thrive.

Pearl C. Hsiung : born in 1973 in Taiwan, explores the space that lies between representation and abstraction. Hsiung creates a surreal realm of absurd anthropomorphism and metaphor--where humanity may be absent, yet symbolic traces still linger. Her intensely colorful large-scale canvases, small studies, and performance videos challenge the banality of the pristine images that dominate post-minimalist contemporary art. Even so, her compositions draw on the histories of painting, alluding to European fauvism and surrealism, Chinese landscape painting, American abstraction, and pop aesthetics. Pearl C. Hsiung received her BA at the University of California, Los Angeles (1997) and her MFA at Goldsmiths College, London (2004). Hsiung's work has been featured in the 2006 California Biennial and Disorderly Conduct: Art in Tumultuous Times (2008), both at the Orange County Museum of Art; and the 2006 Busan Biennale in South Korea. Hsiung lives and works in Los Angeles.
