Metamec Sun Clock

What's the view on these? Corny beyond belief and best consigned to the decade they came from?

Or have they passed beyond that now and can be considered cool/contemporary etc?



I like it anyway!

Does anyone know if this would have had an electric movement originally? I can't find anything on this particular model online.

Couldn't tell you anything about it other than I think it looks quite fantastic, really love the proportions, face and numerals (seen the numerals on a watch, can't think which one) Would be very sensitive to where it's placed though.

The numerals remind me of the Glashutte Original Senator range.

I like it too.

Hideous! Not my thing, I'm afraid!

I think it's a love it or hate it thing. I would guess that people who remember them from when they were very common would be more prone to dislike it? My mother was horrified when I told her I was getting one.

I've just turned 26 and to me, it's the sort of clock my Gran would've had ... Sorry!

Bought my mum one of these from eBay a few years ago, as she loved them back in the 70's.

I do think they're pretty cool, myself.
