“Hands of time move us forward, never back. Only memories frozen in mind, can we re-enact.” – Robert M. Hensel, American Guiness World Record holder.
The theme for "Looking Close on Friday" for the 12th of July is "clock face", which is the part of an analog clock (or watch) that displays time through the use of a flat dial with reference marks, and revolving pointers turning on concentric shafts at the centre, called hands. This theme is wonderful for me, as amongst the many things I collect, I have taken after my mother and collect antique clocks. This left me with many choices of clock faces for me to photograph. In this case, I have opted for the face of the very first antique clock I ever bought with my wages: a Sessions mantle clock from the early 1900s. They don’t make them like they used to, and this clock has been steadily going without problem or complaint, keeping good time and requiring no more than a weekly wind with its original key for more than three decades now. Bearing a sterling silver plaque on its front, it was presented to its first owner by the employees of Cornell Ltd. I hope you like my choice for the theme this week, and that it makes you smile.
Established in 1903, the Sessions Clock Company, known colloquially simply as "sessions" was one of several notable American clock companies centered in Connecticut. Sessions and its predecessor (E.N. Welch Company), along with the E. Ingraham Company, the Ansonia Clock Company, the New Haven Clock Company, the Seth Thomas Clock Company, the William L. Gilbert Clock Company, and the Waterbury Clock Company collectively produced most of the mechanical clocks made in America between the mid Nineteenth Century and 1950. Around 1935, Sessions ended its production of mechanical clocks and produced electrical clocks exclusively. In the early 1950s Sessions begin to produce timers for television. In 1956, Sessions was absorbed by a company interested mainly in their timing devices.

The theme for “Smile on Saturday” for the 26th of March is “numbers”, and by that it cannot be a mixture of letters and numbers. I considered this for a while, and looked through many of my lettering books from the 1970s and 1980s for nice numbers but found nothing. It was only as I was winding one of my many clocks (admittedly one with roman numerals) that I suddenly thought of the numerals on a clock face. So, this stylised number five comes from the 1920s Gunter Art Deco mantle clock that sits in my dining room. The number and its surrounds are one piece of silver plated metal that have been impressed into the maple face. The grooves you can see in the metal are from a century of the hands of the clock turning. Of all the clocks that I own, this one is the least problematic and most reliable. I have had it for twenty five years now, and I have never had to have it looked at or repaired and it keeps time very well. I hope you like my choice for the theme this week, and that it makes you smile.

Visited a very unusual and interesting house yesterday. it's called Tyntesfield, it's a Victorian Gothic Revival house and estate near Bristol, North Somerset, UK. The house is a Grade I listed building.
There were a row of clocks 'shelved' towards the kitchen area..... parts of the house haven't been touched for generations....apart from dusting/cleaning etc..
Handheld, Pentax K3 II paired with the Sigma 35mm f/1.4 DG HSM ART lens, standard run through in DxO Optics Pro on Mac, then time shifted in Snapseed on iPad Pro.

An old clock owned by my son's God father. This is probably at least 20 years old, but believe it or not, it is still working. ;)
Thanks for your visit, comments, and faves!
Have a great day my friends! :)

The Sticky Beaks Café and Pizzeria has gone for the retro look. In The Road to Longford slideshow you'll see they have a passion for old VW Kombi vans. But I love their retro styling, as shown in this picture. Although this table had been vacated, they were doing good business this day as the Australian Jazz Convention was in town.
