    Hi all,
    MrsCanberra wants a wall clock. As a WIS, I feel weird having a $10 from KMart. What wall clocks do you have?

    No quartz clock on the wall here. I use this instead:

    I guess I could get one of those mounting brackets that go on the wall. If one wants to use one, better secure it well. These are very heavy!

    Far more accurate than any mechanical watch. It only "ticks" twice per minute.

    Take care,

    Obviously this is the pick of the bunch! I assume you don't have a spare hanging around? :cool:
    the Mauthe looks good also.

    and if you don't pay a reasonable amount of money for a clock you like it will start giving you the shits in about a week.
