Clocks

[Kent Border Kenny]

I bought an Atmos 568 clock a few years ago, and am really pleased with it. I’d like to get another “interesting” carriage clock, and don’t really know where to start.

Does anyone have anything to suggest?

I quite like the idea of a modern version of a John Harrison clock like the one that he won the longitude prize with, or something very modern, and different to the run of the mill stuff.

A super-accurate pendulum clock would be nice, but a modern one, I’m not so interested in antiques at the moment.

I’d not thought of commissioning one. It’s a nice idea, but maybe one for later, I’m sure that there must be a few beautiful and interesting ones already available first.

The budget is a very long way from unlimited, but it’s going to be similar to a nice car.

That’s a nice detailed reply, thanks, but how do I go about ensuring that what I buy is genuine, and in decent condition? Is it just by going to auction and looking at them?
