My third motorized piece. Same free flowing forms with a dash of industrial goodness thrown in for aesthetic contrast. The face was also adorned with my often used 'leaky attic' treatment.

The Picture House was converted by Wetherspoon's from a supermarket built in 1970 on the site of the former Astoria Cinema which was itself built in 1940. The clock is titled "Echoes" and was executed by Marianne Forrest who also made the seven stainless steel balls around the square. This was all part of a 1.167 million pound regeneration for Ebbw Vale town centre which was badly hit by the closure of the steelworks in 2000. The balls, said to have cost £10,000, have come under fierce criticism from local shoppers and traders, the former claiming they heat up dangerously in hot sunshine, allegedly enough to "fry an egg on", and the latter complaining they take up space which could be occupied by market stalls.

VC’s QP made its debut a little bit after AP (1978 v 1983). This particular watch, comes with an extract that dates it back to 1984, which also happens to be my birth year.
For the last decade, I'd harbored the romantic notion of finding a birth year watch. I started looking through the lines of Submariner and Speedmasters, but nothing significant enough stood out -- just lacked enough "meaning" for me.
But now, an ultra-thin perpetual calendar from the dawning era of quartz watches. Why the heck not!?
Apart from crisp hallmarks and fantastic overall condition, this watch has several other standout details. For one, the dial colour marks it out as an early VC 43031 QP. At 6 o'clock, it is "Swiss" only dial (where "Sigma" dials are much more common -- denoting material, precious metal, used on the watch case). And, like early 43031s, it does not have "Automatic" or the Maltese cross on the dial.
VC produced some 2,300 perpetual calendar watches over 23 years (1983 to 2006); nearly 3x less than both AP and PP. I can only assume that the early watches in this specific colour dial were equally small in production numbers.

This watch is private labeled for Amazon by a company in New York called E. Gluck which might be a sub to Armitron in China. It would make sense for the $12 price.
I normally do not eat breakfast cereal but I have ended up buy three different boxes and using them as funny backdrops for tabletop photography.
I got a bunch of new bracelets and FKM (rubber) straps and swapped out an urban blue camo I had on this watch and more shots in this 3D studio.

This is an example of art after the fact. This clock in the IT lounge is not working. So Lindsey, the IT secretary, decided to get us a new clock. She took the busted clock down and threw it into the trash. Renee and Bobby remarked how artful it looked. Out came the camera and I took the shot, to share with the other 2 who remarked that they wish they had a camera.
