Went to an estate sale today to buy some furniture and came across this clock. Its an old wind up clock and I thought it would be nice to have on the wall.

well... I got home and found out this thing has 5 initials and dates on it. I assume they are from the previous owners

The earliest one is 1907... This thing is over 100 years old and still ticking 😀

Needless to say I love this thing now. it feels awesome to have something so old and that has been taken care of by so many people

So now its hanging on my wall. a 100 year old method of keeping time sitting right next to the most modern way of keeping time, the block clock 😀

getting a serious old school wind up pendulum tick tock clock is high on my agenda in the near future, plus a decent sundial, so i can set the thing to accurate on a weekly/monthly basis

right now i have a cacophony of church clocks, literally 3 that chime in earshot, it's quite hilarious how out of sync they are but the time of travel of the sound is quite shocking too... i mean, you know the story, 5 seconds = 1km... for real, probably these clocks are accurate to the internet time but they are hilarious

We can hear the churchbells from our village and, when the wind is right, also from the next village.
