Business – Vitals

I can always hear our neighbors’ grandfather clock at my parents’ house. We only have one wall clock at home and you can’t see or hear it if you are outside the house. So we rely on our neighbor to tell time while outside. Back when I was a kid, I went over to a friends house after school. She lived in a really neat old house that I remember quite well. In the TV room, where we spent most of our time, they had the most unusual clock that had the numbers placed on it backwards and it actually ran backwards. It made an impression on me and I always look for one like it, to no avail, sigh….
This clock definitely fits my personality and it is not your Grandfather Clocks. I love the natural slate and aged copper tower over which water cascades. The clock face is very simple, with Roman numerals at 3, 6, 9 and 12 o’clock, unadorned bar hour markers and copper-finished hands. The pendulum is of aged copper as well.

There is a light in the base and an electric submersible pump that I would replace or convert to solar power, but that is no problem as I have learned how to do this while researching water features. Everything is coming together for my Earth room. Now I just have to convince my husband to build it!
