I decided to make G and G styled clocks of my own design for each of our children. When they are completed the plans get tossed and they will have the only clock made by me with my design. Hope they like 'em and if they don't they better keep their mouth shut. Here's two photos of the first one. The white lines at the bottom of the one on the left is light glare.

Greene and Greene Clock
In my old age I look back and realize how lucky I was to live in a time when common sense was common.

If your only tool is a hammer, you tend to treat all problems as if they were nails.

Thanks guys. I did buy the clock face and dial hands. The works are from Seiko: battery operated. Just couldn't afford the mechanical mechanisms.In my old age I look back and realize how lucky I was to live in a time when common sense was common.

if you built two then you should have a picture with two and only two clocks together as a remembreance of the "limited" production.
Also a tip: Professional clock, watch, and timepiece photographers ALWAYS set the analog clocks at 10:10 (or 10:09) for pictures. If there's a second hand it often is at 30 or 35 seconds but not always. Seriously! Its a custom, presumably to showcase the logo below the "12" and to make it look symmetrical and show both hands. See this example from the Rolex and Tissot webpages (first ones I could think of with a lot of pics in one page):Last edited by LCHIEN; 12-07-2013, 02:33 PM.Loring in Katy, TX USA
