Thin-sliced post-grandfather clock


I just love this thin-sliced grandfather clock from Thwart Design -- a horizontal section of the face, the hands sticking out over the edge. It's a tremendous visual illustration of just how far we are today from mechanical clocks, in an era of $1 Chinese quartz movements that are more accurate than the old gear-teeth could ever hope to be. Maybe "Granddaughter clock" would be a better name?
