Do you also collect clocks along with your watches?

I like clocks, and have a few, but storage and display, etc., is a bigger issue with clocks. I just don't have the space.

I actually find them much more interesting and charming than watches, but fortunately they take up space so I've only good one good pendulum clock.

Side note: if you are one that tours historic homes, you will go bonkers seeing all the gorgeous non-running clocks those places have. I try to tell docents that I can recommend a guy to get them running, but they don't seem interested.

I do not have many large ones but I have a few bookshelf ones and a few wall hangers. I think 6 in total but only the one mechanical. Still I consider it a collection.

I also only have the pendulum clock but I do have other quartz clocks.

I don't collect clocks, but I do have a couple.

I have this retro looking quartz piece (with smooth sweeping seconds hand) in my home office. I love the vintage vibe. It always seems to come across as a stark white in photos, but it's really a more vintage looking creamy white IRL. I picked this up from an Etsy shop called Royale Enamel. As you can see from the photo, it's not exactly easy to read the time at a glance, but I still really like it.

I'm fascinated by "mystery clocks", so I picked up this vintage Jefferson Golden Hour mystery clock from a seller on eBay. The seller stated that it was in working condition, and I stupidly took that at face value. It does actually work, but is off by about 20 minutes per hour, so it's currently just a decoration.

I'd love to get a JLC Atmos clock. They are pretty pricey when new, so I'm keeping my eyes open for a decent deal on a pre-owned example in great condition.

I got only one. But it gets more love than wifey (according to her). It s not a expensive one, but its history and my memories makes it my real treasure

Nice looking clock.

I like clocks but find that their ticking is often far too loud to tolerate.

I love clocks, but buying them means I’d have less money for watches, and that will not stand. 😂

I'm always on the look out for something unique. I knew this Bulova clock with floating Red Jet second had to go on my desk when I saw it.

That is a cool looking clock and the watch is pretty good looking from what I can see.

Love the mid-century vibes.

I have several Nelson clocks around the house.

In addition to some cool mid-century clocks, I also collect vintage LeCoultre desk clocks...

Have started thinking about it. Nothing crazy or big due to space. But I am enjoying the Marathon Clocks I picked up last year. I could see getting a few more for funsies.

Those are awesome. I wasn't aware of these before. The only clock that I associate with LeCoultre is the JLC Atmos clock.

I have a good selection of vintage clocks, also love mechanical/acoustical phonographs.

I just added this cool little Cartier travel clock to my collection today.

Love it, pairs well with the watch.

Someone just recently posted an "internet clock" that they used to calibrate their watches. This inspired me to purchase an atomic wall clock so I now have expanded my clock collection to one. 😁

Love the idea.

My office and my home are both packed with clocks of all sorts. Love them, except when DST comes and goes.

Time change can be a PIA

Thanks to this thread I bought an utterly unnecessary low end mechanical travel clock with brown plastic cover at a flea market for $6. It does ring nicely, but seems to lose about ten minutes a day. It seems unserviceable but has that adjustment +/- slider so I guess I'll be playing with that.

Horology is such a rabbit hole!

Yes!

I love clocks, and although my wife isn't into watches, she does LOVE clocks! Here's the one in our living room, it's 4' (122cm):

That is a very cool looking clock set.
