Grandfather clock or Floor clock
December 3rd, 2009Why is this clock called a Holtzhausen Grandfather clock and these clocks Floor clocks?
This Yellowwood clock should then also be a Floor Clock like the Howard Miller La Rochelle, or not?
If not then, what is the distinction?
Grandfather, grandmother and granddaughter are all names ascribed to Floor clocks. A Floor clock is any free standing clock that is made for the interior of a dwelling or building. Colloquilly we started referring to clocks above 6ft as Grandfather, under 6ft as Grandmothers and under 5ft as granddaughters. It has become fasionable to speak about Floor clocks again simply because a clock like Kieninger’s 1026-02-01 doesn’t fit comfortably with the name “grandfather”.

Clockworks
November 23rd, 2009Legends and myths about clocks abound. Love is Clockworks is new to me though. When is love like clockworks? Bono sings that “love is like cold steel, to numb to feel. I don’t want to see…”
Clocks the antithesis to emotion. What do you think?
Regulator
November 5th, 2009I love Johannesburg – spent my whole childhood and early adult life there. As much as I believe that London has an awesome nightlife – I haven’t seen it rocking like Jo’burg. I will move back there tomorrow, or the next day.
I’ve also had my share of dodging bullets and out running car hijackers.
Most of all I thankfully recall countless Highveld sun rises touching the Monk’s Cowl.
Clock companions

Companions to power.
Cuckoo clock speech
November 5th, 2009Maybe this is why my beloved South Africa is so keen to show that we too aspire to brotherly love, peace and democracy…Watch the Third Man from 4:25 onwards.
Think I should send Mr. Zuma a cuckoo clock for his office wall?
