      One more for now as sometimes the most exciting stuff is on the inside. And the fusee is such an elegant solution to equalising the pull from the mainspring.

            I don’t own any clocks despite being a watch guy.

            Maybe time to address this, always liked the JLC Atmos clocks.

            If any forum members are ever visiting London I can highly recommend a visit to the Greenwich observatory where the Harrison clocks are on display, simply stunning pieces of craftsmanship.

                We just found this clock a couple months ago. Not particularly fancy or expensive, but we think it’s pretty cool. Fills the particular space wonderfully.

                  @ddtrash agree re Atmos. For London visits, there's also rooms 38-39 at the British Museum (good for watch guys too). If this works, you should be able to do a virtual tour here.

                    Inherited this travel clock from my father in law. I’m not superstitious, only a littlestitious, but it randomly starts ticking when I’m next to it. And we had to get the biggest clock we could for this empty space over the bay window.

                      I promise not to do this every weekend but here’s another one. For some reason the case makes me think of @Oaktavia 🙂

                          I’m not really into traditional design, so here’s my Nelson ball clock.

                          Over the last few years I’ve been slowly decorating in a mix of industrial and mid century modern styles.

                                  @goosehd that may be possible with some. Others are inaccessible or go into a huge sulk if you move them.

                                  The movement on this is exactly what you’d expect from France c. 1885 and isn’t that accessible. Hope this tides you over for now.

                                        @goosehd it’s not paper – it’s the inside of one of the porcelain panels. I can’t really read it but they’re all marked so I’d guess a mixture of source, and info identifying which panels go together and what goes where.
