WHAT KINDS OF CLOCKS?
- Clocks that appear conventional, but display time in unique ways.
- Clocks with innovative shapes, such as spheres, polygons, and more.
- Structured clocks, which are mobile structures that transform as the hours tick away.
- Quiet clocks that won’t disturb your peace, especially when you’re trying to sleep.
- Projection clocks that cast an image representing the passage of time onto walls, ceilings, etc. (not just digital numbers like existing models).
- AND MY PERSONAL FAVOURITE !!!!
- Tide clocks that work properly on both the ATLANTIC and the PACIFIC coast.
The Products include, but are not necessarily limited to:
Fully mechanical clocks
Electro-mechanical clocks
Light producing clocks
Sound producing clocks
Fuzzy Logic clocks
AI infused clocks
and best of ALL,
SUPRISES

My DIGITAL CLOCK from 1976
Clocks have always fascinated me
I made the case in woodworking shop out of mahogany. The circuit boards, with the exception of the front display board, were made using hand drawn etch resist ink on the copper PCB.
The drilling of the 14 and 16 pin dual-in-line pins using a #60 drill bit using a hand drill was frustrating at times, but in the end I succeeded.
The clock used state-of-the-art TTL chips, which had be just become commercially available at reasonable cost a few years earlier.
It had 3 PCB's and used 40+ TTL DIPS
The time-base was the 60Hz grid frequency.
The 7447 BCD-to-seven-segment decoder chips were VERY expensive, so I designed a 7447 multiplexer circuit using a FLIP-FLOP and tons of AND and OR gates.
I crammed the transformer into a wooden cubby hole to make the clock case smaller.
Lucky thing the power draw is so small that the transformer doesn't get too hot.
