Early Christmas present for a clock nut

[MarPar]

I love watches. I purchased a Breitling Super Avenger for my 10 year work anniversary 5 years ago. I love this watch. It weighs a ton because it is completely mechanical, but I still wear it everywhere.

looks like this one...

here's a pic of my fat *** wearing it this year fishing in Minnesota...

I have four wind up clocks, two wall and one "Column" table top clock. A three weight "Coo-Coo" that dances, water flows and plays one of two songs on the hour. A no movement visible table electric clock for the '40's. A wind up alarm clock I have seen on Ebay for 2-300 and two 21" and a 32" Neon newer wall clocks. All three are car themed (Sinclair (2), Chrysler/Plymouth). As for watches I like Skagen. It has a medium sized face to not dig into my hand and a stainless steel band so it won't stink when I sweat. Plus they have a "Jewelers Clasp" so it is very durable.

Speaking of clocks: Cabinet Circa late 1700's built in PA. Dial circa very early 1700's built in France. Left to my dad from his dad.

Wow very nice. My grandfather clock was built by my great, great uncle. I really have no idea of its age, he died before I was born.

I had some nice cuckoo clocks from Bavaria when I was stationed there.

My ex-wife took them.

Here is my Cuckoo clock. I did pick it up from a shop on the Rhine river in St Goar, Germany.

Here is a picture of a Grandmother Clock that my Dad made back in the 1970's.
The movement was originally Swiss imported through St. Lucia but after a number of year it failed and he replaced it with a quartz movement
In the late 1980's he added shelves to make it more functional
He was quite the craftsman in woodworking
I took stewardship of it about 25 years ago
I hope that one day one of my kids will want it.

Interesting!! Horvath, check this out - 1690, Long Case clock from Richard Symonds, London UK... complete but disassembled in the 1980s by my father, who promptly passed away after doing so. Needing a restoration by a proper craftsman.

One of the earliest long case clocks known. For sale actually.
