How Time Flies

THESE MAKE ME SMILE.

I bought these clock faces at a little ski-lift-parking-lot flea market that I attend occasionally in Wisconsin.



The seller, a clock repairman, was sad that they weren't going to be used repairing clocks. I thought, "Who would want THESE faces in their newly restored clock?'' I kept my mouth shut.




Did you know that the word "clock" comes from the French word "cloche" meaning bell. And look at that little "Gem" of a pencil sharpener.




Early clocks only showed hours. There wouldn't have been a song named "25 or 6 to 4."




It really is "Daylight Saving Time" and not "Daylight SavingS Time." And the wristwatch was invented in 1904 by Louis Cartier. I love that guy!!!




A "moment" is equal to one minute and thirty seconds. Take a moment to think about that.
