Not strictly wall clocks (well mostly not wall clocks at all) but we do like clocks.

No wall clocks, just this old mantel clock that was found in pieces in a box when my great uncle passed away in 1988, it was a wedding present to him and his wife in 1936. I was given the parts and managed to re-assemble it by trial and error and it's run ever since. Gains when wound, loses when unwinding but does a passable impression of timekeeping. Not a pretty clock and I often think of getting a replacement but it's been here so long we're used to it and it would be a shame not to use it.
It has a single gong chime which I muted by adding a lever to the mechanism, it's too loud at night!

We also have a key wind chime clock that has been put away during the remodel and an Atomic clock that is built into our weather station.
Cheers,

I was hoping Sheri would have the Kit cat clock with the wagging tail and moving eyes. Miss that from when I was a kid.

Oddly I'd just like to thank this thread as it reminded me to have a rummage through the master clock listings on ebay looking for a part I need, as a result of which I noticed this:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VINTAGE-GE...torefresh=true
and picked up a case and complete movement for a ridiculous £26. Even more ridiculous as I have an appropriate invar pendulum I picked up at a boot sale for a quid. Now all I need is a dial and they often sell for peanuts as they don't work when not connected to the pulses from a master clock.
So thanks for the thread, I'd never have got it without it!
