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

    I have 4 Wall Clocks.
    In the kitchen is a radio control clock which we bought at the Ideal Home Exhibition, London back when it was "new and innovative"!

    In the Living room there is a Hermle quartz chiming clock which we have had for 20 years or so. It used to be the focal point clock in the room.

    It was pushed into the corner by this Metamec Sunburst clock which dates from the 1970's.

    Finally, in the hall we have a Metamec battery driven clock which pre-dates quartz using a transistorised movement. It is early 1970's.

    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.

    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!
