Desirable Time Machines

The old fashioned way of keeping track of time is passe. Modern day young people prefer to use their cellphones to keep track of time. Gone are the days when homes and offices were adorned with stately wall clocks that chimed hourly announcing the passage of time.

It is ironical that modern day electronically powered wall clocks are replacing the original stately wall clocks. This is happening not only in homes but in schools, government buildings, and public places too. I have seen the most elegant wall clocks in public places like the railway station etc.

As a child I remember waiting for the Ridgeway Fallbrook wall clock at my grandparents home to clang every hour. It is an irony that these stately clocks are making way for electronic clocks without any character. One feature I love about the old time wall clocks is their elegance. The room had a special glow thanks to the presence of the clock.

Personally speaking I would love to have an elegant vintage style wall clock in couple of places in the house. One in the formal living room, another in the bedroom and one more in the dining room. Each with its own unique ring and design will add a distinct character to the home.

Grandfather Clock are regal time machines

Ever since I was a small kid the large grandfather clock in my grandparents place always fascinated me. I have grown into an adult now and still don't own one, though I am quite certain that I will get one soon. Grandfather clocks are big and they occupy quite a bit of space in a home, but they tend to give a regal feel to the entire ambiance of the living room.

I have noticed that several of my friends don't even have a clock in their homes. I find that odd and in fact I'd say their homes have an empty feeling because of the absence of the constant ticking and the hourly chime of a grandfather clock. I am glad that I am not alone in this passion. There are several people out there like me who love their grandfather clocks and give them the pride of place in their homes. I recently came across this Blog which talks about the various aspects of grandfather clocks while giving useful tips for a better life.

I know that sometime in the near future I will own a grandfather clock, but for now I content myself by looking at the fantastic pictures online and the real ones in the store or at few of my friends homes.
