We would like a new

WALL CLOCK

for the lounge room in the

RETRO -- VINTAGE -- ANTIQUE

style

For a number of years, this one....

....had been hanging in our lounge room
An ACME Plastic Clock

We wanted one more suitable to the theme of our lounge
so we started to check out the Ebay Auctions

Emes Ceramic Wall Clock

(click on the above photo for all the details)

We bought this wind-up clock and it looked great on the wall
It kept perfect time for twelve months and then it started playing up
It does not have a speed "+" or "-" button so we decided to replace it

Junghans Wall Clock

(click on the above photo for all the details)

This is an older style battery operated clock mounted on timber
It looks very nice
It caught our attention because it's face is very similar....
....to this mantle clock which was passed down from
Geoff's Mother and is also in the lounge room - and click on the
photo for more details
It looks great on the wall but unfortunately it played up almost from
the start, both losing and gaining time - this clock does have the speed
adjustments, but these didn't seem to make any difference

Victoria Station Wall Clock

(click on the above photo for all the details)

We wanted an "old fashioned" clock and had tried them all
Key wind, battery and electric - with no success
So we decided to buy a new one that still had the 'old look'
This one is perfect - looks great in the lounge
......and it has a ten year warranty!!!
