Bill’s Steampunk Clock from BoingBoing

Bill's Steampunk Clock

Over at BoingBoing, they’ve posted about a simply lovely, somewhat Heath-Robinson looking clock created by Flickr user Amahl_Shukup. With a working telegraph key, parts of a Model-T Ford, and a 1910’s clock surround, it’s got some wonderful parts that make a simply stunning whole. It even tells time! *chuckles* Wonderful stuff, and I’m sure it’ll look very handsome indeed on a mantelpiece.

I am very happy that I found your blog. Keep up the good work.

...mmmm...would that be the La bleu?

Chaotically gorgeous... It reminds me of this peculiar timepiece seen in the Beyer Watch and Clock Museum in Zurich recently:

Unfortunately, it wasn't in action and I didn't get a chance to ask about it. Their website doesn't seem to have any details on it (but does have an interesting presentation on the history of time-keeping):

An excuse to return to Zurich and purchase some of their Absinthe while I'm about it, perhaps...
