Hands of Time

My Grandfather's clock, left to me by my Father when he died in 1987. It's been in the house a while not working until last year I found a watchmaker who replaced the main spring. Since then, it's gained around 20 minutes a day (I oftern come home after a week away and have to roll it forward 9 hours to get it back on track)

In the last week, it's actually begun to keep perfect time; not a clue why, perhaps the weather?

Thank you for your views, kind comments and favs on yesterday's offering.
Nice composition mate. And what a lovely looming face. I'm talking about the grandfather clock . . . 😮

Love the lettering style. Hope it’s not a chimer! My grandparents had one that woke you on the hour, every hour!

@yorkshirekiwi Oh it chimes, hour and half-hour. I don’t hear it, Carole does though 😃

It is a lovely clock, though it can be annoying with its bonging at times.

What a beautiful heirloom to have - did notice that Carole mentioned it's bonging - can't have everything I guess. Love its face. So glad you found a watchmaker to work on it - they're a dying breed.

This is absolutely beautiful. I love those purple hands. I'm so glad you were able to find the watchmaker to fix it.

I agree with Lynda. Your composition is so effective. Lovely old clock and so special to have something of your grandfather's.
