Clocks

How many clocks do you have?

I must have a dozen, all digital but I've run out of places to put them as they all operate out of the mains.

I don't know why I don't have a clock with hands. In my watch collection quite a few do have hands and I've only got 2 purely digital watches. It's not long now until they go forward an hour. I do this the day before so I'm not caught looking at the wrong time.

Fixing old watches and clocks is a good hobby though, but I suspect you need good eyesight which I don't have.

Re: Clocks

This one is my favourite - it's very clean looking and functional, the alarm shows up with a red bell.

Re: Clocks

My dad always had a thing about clocks and watches, my sister is the same.

My best clock is the one on the kitchen wall (KLIK) that adjusts itself when the clocks change.
I know, it’s done by radio control but it always seems miraculous at how it does it!
It’s the same when l change the battery, the hands go berserk for a while then it settles at the correct time!

Re: Clocks

One in every room I think, Ffosse, but this one has to be my favourite. My alarm clock from my Pink Floyd shrine:

Haha. Yes, not a favourite band of mine. Dunno why I bought it lol
I got that in Tenerife from a bloke making clocks from internet images on a market stall. Only cost 5 euros.
I also bought my mate Daffy a Daffy Duck clock for his birthday
