Two clocks with such character! Who cares if they're broken, as long as they're not replaced ....

And another great thought and find! Love it! And yes, the new and the old world... I remember being very amused after moving to the US from the European side of the world when people in New York used to say :'Oh this is very old, it was build in 1910". I could nothing but smile. You should do another one the modern structures which have to be repaired all the time verses the ones from the centuries ago still in perfect condition :)) Love your work!!!

Both are beautiful and in good shape! Besides that: even a defect clock is keeping the right time at least two times a day. :o)

I love the gold detail on the right on both the clock and in the carving below the pediment of the building in the background. Almost glowing.

WOW! Two classic time pieces. All I know is there is never ENOUGH time.
How about we TURN BACK the time!
I adore the flasher doll on top of the clock on the right.
Another one for the L&R Museum. Great work.
