Clock Top

Yes, I am aware that this picture is not perfectly semetrical... and yes, it bugs me too.

There's a funny story behind this clock...

It doesn't bug me that it's not perfectly symmetrical - nothing really ever is right? So it wouldn't be as "real" and besides, i think it's perfect the way it is. Who knew an alarm clock could be so beautiful.

Hi Chris - love the photo -it's cheery and yet for some reason ominous because I can't tell the time - fear of oversleeping! It's now illustrating a post on my blog at www.meganoltmanfreemybrain.typepad.com.

Thanks! Megs

Great clock. I'm using it in a (late) article in a newsletter about the history of daylight savings and changing the clocks.
