Click tick, tick, click; olden clocks are where it's at. Not since my grandmother's mail-order grandfather clock have I seen a clicky-clock I like so much. But this one is not old at all! And at 18 inches at it's widest, it's not that space-consuming. But then again, take a peek at it's wild manifestation. Sort of unwieldily perhaps. Not for the home with the tiny children with long reach. You know what kind of small household companion would like this though? A parakeet.

What a lovely perch it'd make.

This machine, this clock, is called the "Delay." As you can see from it's looks it was never meant to be in the average home. Instead it's for the fabulous, the weird, and the wild.

Dimensions: L35 x W35 x H48 cm
Material: Inox Metal
Production: The Netherlands

The future of steam-punk technology. That's not even a thing! But if it were, this would perhaps be it. The simplicity is daunting in it's complexity.
