Our friend in Riverside, California who we visited while on our vacation in Northern California, had this clock on display. as you see, it was hanging on the wall above his model toy train, which moved when he switched it on. the clock starts to unfold
every hour on the hour accompanied by some lovely tunes, which switch around as well every hour. there were 4 phases of the clock. starting point, quarter hour, half hour and three quarter hour and then back to the full hour. I've never seen anything like it.
@bruni Happy it was not a problem. Had no idea you sleep with ear plugs. I sleep with a fan on to muffle noise, small fan that is. Dan's Aunt had a room full of clocks that went off every hour in a small house. Memories of!
