While watchmaking has enjoyed great reneissance lately, I find it curious that full-sized clockmaking still seems pretty dead field, at least comparatively. There is no popular reimagings of grandfather clocks or other household timepieces like there are watches.
- m-ee 6y agoHarder to use the grandfather clock to signify your wealth when out and about
- nicoburns 6y agoHa. It'd certainly be amusing to watch someone try though!
- macintux 6y agoA waterproof cuckoo clock mounted on a boxy vehicle like a Jeep might be entertaining. There have certainly been weirder aftermarket modifications for them.
- detaro 6y agoPast few months should have been a boon for that then. Way harder to non-obviously flash your wrist into a Zoom call then carefully putting a grandfather clock just in frame in the background.
- dieselerator 6y agoThough I would not call them "popular" or "household" clocks, there are still similar clocks being made. For a good quality example, check out Erwin Sattler [0]. I think one of those would fit in at home. Well, it might take new furniture to match it. [0] <https://www.erwinsattler.com/ https://www.erwinsattler.com/> I have no financial interest in that.
