Turns out Class is timeless (but also timeful)

It’s not a wrist watch, but I got my clock back from the watchmaker after it had been out of service for years, and now it’s going again:

Oh, has it got an ominous loud gong? Love those!

No, it has a pathetically inappropriate high-pitched “ting” like a bicycle bell. It is rather old, and antedates the idea of hanging a nice long tubular gong down inside the case.
It does, however, tick very loudly.

My dad has several of those and they all run at ever so slightly different times. Each full hour is a concert of dissonance.

I tweak the various clocks in the kitchen if they are as much as a minute out. My wife forgives me.

It’s a Matthias Harris from about 1810. My grandfather bought it in a junk shop in the 1920s and rebuilt the upper part of the hood.

I have to say that I like my clocks to be set to within two seconds of right time, and that I am a bit distressed that since my clock’s repair I can no longer lengthen the pendulum enough to prevent it from gaining a minute per day. Winter is going to be rough unless I get a longer thread for the adjusting screw.
Unless I set the thermostat so that my clock keeps time, I suppose.

The only complaint I’ve had about the new G-Shock is that, while the bracelet is really good, the end links are just massive and cause the watch to overhang my now smaller wrist (see earlier photo). To rectify that, I have fitted it with a pair of band adapters and installed a Barton silicone band. It is now much more svelte, and even more comfortable. That’s a Win/Win in my book.

I very much approve of the 0.
