Had to get some gifts made

Had to get some gifts made

john Lucas

I've been making clocks lately as gifts and for an upcoming article. Here are a few. The 1st one has some left over parts from my LED lights. They came with cables that had this metal piece on the bottom to fit into the lamp. I drilled the end and inserted some brass brazing rod that I had cut off and sanded. The brass dots were more of this rod.

The second one was fun. I simply need more hours in a day to get everything done so this clock has 13 hours.

Maybe I'm not counting correctly, but I think the second one has 14 dots. Now, you've even more time!

Sorry, John, but I count fourteen dots around the periphery, too. Did you deliberately space them unevenly?

There's an old saying

"A man with a watch always knows what time it is, a man with two watches is never sure"

The dots do not indicate the time... The position of the hands relative to a single dot (in this case, whichever is the topmost when the clock is displayed) is the only thing that counts.

Movado's recognizable style is that there is only one dot in their watch face.

The dots are eye candy! We need more dots, lots more dots!
