what a very old clock! Great take on the theme...time/antique! My photo is up, please come and visit soon
This is a gorgeous clock. I think that these give us a grander sense of the universe and our priorities while time-clocks narrow our perspective.
And just think: they knew the math way back then to engineer this clock. Amazing.
