Clock AddictionDecember 03, 2009
I’ve had an affinity for unique clocks for as long as I can remember. I don’t buy them very often, but when the bug bites, it bites hard… The desire to buy clocks only comes around about once every one or two years, and can be quite expensive. Here are the more unique clocks that I have at home right now:
The first one is a barber clock. It is and runs completely backwards so when it is hung opposite a mirror, it appears to be completely normal. Mine is running a little slowly as of late… I might try one more new battery, but if that doesn’t work I’m going to have to hunt down a new backwards-running mechanism. The second clock is made out of a genuine 13” bronze Zildjian cymbal. The third clock is self explanatory, heh.
I’m afraid the bug is upon me again… I’ve finished the search cycle, and the clocks that I have found are as follows. Here are the ones that are out of my price range:
That cuckoo clock is probably the only one I’ve found that I like.
Leather clocks:
That cuckoo clock is probably the only one I’ve found that I like.
These are the clocks that are within my price range:
Bronze clocks:
Wood clocks: California redwood root, backwards clock, and cypress tree.
I am buying the musical notes clock to put on my will-have-one-day upright piano, and I bought the red wax-seal looking clock, the backwards wood clock, and the tall skinny steel clock. I would bid on the cypress tree clock if the numbers were in a perfect circle… I would really like to get the swirly clock, but we’ll have to see what my money situation turns up looking like!
