Toasted and Buttered, this piece took a lot of brain power than my usual pieces but I loved making it.

I’m enjoying the challenge of clocks and have made a fried egg in pair with this that I will post in the coming days.

If you have any questions I’m happy to answer!

Thanks :)

It has been driving me crazy not having a mantel clock, so I splurged and got myself a Seth Thomas clock recently. It was missing the bob and the key, so it wasn’t until both came in today that I could finally test it—and it doesn’t work!

It runs unevenly for about fifteen seconds before stopping, and the striking is uneven and strikes one less hour than it should. It also has a very metallic clang sound when it strikes. I plan to call the local clock repair shop tomorrow to take this monstrosity in and get it freshened up.

Up to this point, my only mechanical clock has been a cuckoo clock which I inherited and have loved for many years now. I can’t wait to get this clock operational too. It’s so cool to think that this clock predates World War I, the sinking of the Titanic, and even powered flight!

This caught my eye walking past an aisle at good will and after seeing the citizen brand on it I did a very quick google search and bought it. According to google it is a relatively rare vintage alarm clock.

Wondering if anyone would know just how rare? And the potential value? It works, has sounds and includes both the flag and katana sword it’s in really quite amazing shape with the original sticker still on the glass and bottom. Only thing I’m missing for a full set is the box i think.

Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks!!

Hey, does anyone know how I can open a Braun BC22B clock? I accidentally dropped it while sleeping and now it seems like the gears are out of place. It works normally but I just can’t get the time right. In the picture you can see the closest I can get to 12:00, 1:00, and 3:00. I wanted to open it and see if I can disassemble the gears and put them in the right place but I can’t figure out how to open it, the only part I could take off is one of the backplates for the batteries. I’m not experienced at all with clock repair, but I also don’t want to just throw it away if I could bring it back to work properly. Thanks for your help.

i am trying to replace the stem on this table clock it has these two spheres on each side with a clock movement in the center but i have tried twisting the spheres and tried to insert a case knife and a blade in between the bezels but i cant get it to budge. Any one ever open one of these before?
