    Clocks. Oh yes. Couldn't find a picture of my Pequegnat Pantheon, and didn't include chronometers, and project clocks.

    This ships clock is an English Fusee by Whyte Thomson & Sons. I built a box to enclose it in mahogany

    And this one is English made with a French platform. I haven't found out who the maker is, but by the hand printed dial on the dial, it was number 184

    I'm not "into clocks" per se but I do have two, a Howard Miller I bought new in 2004, and an Ingraham that was my grandparents' that they bought in the antique fashion of the 60s.

    The Howard Miller:

    It has a glass top through which the movement is visible.

    The Ingraham that I don't keep running because it is a LOUD ticker and chimer and it's in the guest room next to my bedroom. It keeps great time, though.

    I have a grandfather clock I bought about 6 years ago, not sure it's anything special, probably around 30 years old. I went on aesthetics rather than knowing anything about them.
    Has never let me down or stopped working, keeps good time, the only niggle i have is the chimes (on the hour) only ever work almost 2 minutes past the hour.

    I will post a picture when I get a chance

    The movement of my Grandfather is in pieces right now. I've taken it apart, cleaned and re-bushed about 15 pivots. Tomorrow I'll start putting it back together. May take a few weeks because we leaving for a week in Virginia on the weekend. I'll take a picture of it when it's back together.
