Mystery Clock


Or what time is it really?

This five foot pedestal clock came with the house I am sitting here in Melaque. One of the last things the owner said as she walked out the door was - "you get the puzzle of setting this clock".

Since I really don't care what time it is the challenge means very little except I keep seeing this not inexpensive time piece sitting around waiting for 'day light savings time' to either come or go.

This is neither a plug-in or solar clock .. so I assume batteries. How will we ever re-start time if those batteries go. Why do people buy things they have no idea how they work

  1. That clock is correct twice a day ;-) Pull the battery and replace when one of those times is correct - no messing with hands or dials.

  2. Correct twice a day if it's stopped but right now it's running on winter time.

    There are a couple of screws at the bottom of the face but you'd think a hinge on the top or somewhere.

    Oh well ... like Chicago said - "Does anyone really care what time it is?"

  3. I have asked that last question in the context of many a failing romance.
