CLOCKS

[mad-moon]

I was hobbling round a car boot fair at the weekend...stick in one hand and my partner holding me up...and spotted a rather nice clock..It's made from an old 10" 78 record with a quality clock movement with a sweeping hand (rather than the tick tock type)...Image below...up on the wall of my man cave (music room)...very nice it is too..I've seen clocks made from cd's but this looks far superior..imho...

The guy who makes them is from Stanley Co.Durham...."In Record Time"...

I have nothing to do with this enterprise, other than I've bought a clock from him...I hope this is not breaking the rules..if this be the case, then mods feel free to delete this thread.....

Well it's definitely audio related, looks good and is interesting! It might be argued that it belongs in Abstract Chat though. :)

Aye maybe better...

My mate used to make these with 45,s and lps...picture discs quite often. He made a few bob at it but like anything, the demand dropped

Looks good. Only problem I have with clocks like that is I can't deal with the ticking.

That's good then. Nothing worse than ticking clocks. If I stop over at my mother's place I have to disable all the clocks in the bedroom before I can sleep. It can take a while to track them all down. You think you got the last one, get back in bed, then 'tick..tick...tick..'

:) We have a grandfather clock that came down the generations. tick tock tick tock - love it! :)

Mind you it can't be heard in bedrooms. If it did I would sell it and use the money to add to the audio fund. Saving up for some MBL speakers - should get there in about 200 years.

i agree you cant beat the sound of a grandfather clock or to give it its proper name a longcase clock :)

Hi Josie I got it at Sheffield winter gardens the one next to the crucible. Wasn't cheap but you get what you pay for hopefully there's a few left. I will keep my eyes open for you and give you a shout if I see the same or similar.

[clarkey555]

Josie must be a good day for you I found this online http://notonthehighstreet.com
Slightly different record label but everything else looks identical lot cheaper than mine aswell

Thats a nice cut vinyl piece. I havent seen the cut vinyl style before. I wonder how they do that so neatly like its laser cut or something

I made an art piece from the Beat The Clock 12" in all the colours available and that takes some collecting. I only have one on my wall for now though.

I have a lot of wall and other clocks which are mostly radio controlled. All we really have is time and its how we use it to the max.
