It's profane quarz

But very precise.

I'm glad I don't have to take it down to wind it up every week.
It's heavy, it's not easy to find the fixture behind the clock and you have to polish a bit afterwards.

Still, I do it twice a year to adjust for summer-/wintertime.

To the JLC aficionados, recently I saw an unusual JLC watch at a German airport and thought, you might appreciate the photos. 1. First glance at a fair distance 2. Some familiar look, let´s get closer 3. That is a R......, isn´t it? 4. Yes, there can be n...  

Did you find the strap which goes with it?

Nice pics, by the way! It changes a bit from the too often seen round clocks! Thanks for sharing. Best, Nicolas

Forget the strap. I would be running away from the person who dropped it! (;-) (nt)

No worries, Nicolas, with the strap...

ROFL, anaesdoc!

Wow! Fancy public clock!

Thanks for the photos! This is one of the coolest public clocks I've seen! Cheers, Daos

Yes, it is...

 
 By: anaesdoc : July 16th, 2009-12:13
... and I can remember having seen some other funny ones like the huge Tissot watch (was it from Tokyo?) somewhere here, Daos. There was also a series of ancient town clocks displayed sometime. Best regards, anaesdoc

Very unusual....

thanks for sharing it with us Cheers

That is a bit too big even for my wrist...

 
 By: respo : July 16th, 2009-05:43
...but I am very tempted. LOL. I wonder what kind of straps Nicolas would try on this one... That clock is fantastic. I would love to see one of those in our train station. Thanks for posting these pics. respo

LOL...

You know, this public clock is really big ! Best, anaesdoc

 By: FanFrancisco : July 16th, 2009-20:22

Wow, this is very nice

Does it have 2 faces? How does it look from the back? I would love one of these for my house, and wonder does JLC sell these? Goh

Identical backside, Goh,...

so it´s not a real Reverso, but more handy for a public clock! I have no idea whether they are for sale. Regards, anaesdoc

Reverso "Très Grande Taille"

I have one in my living room. Not that big, but still. About 17 x 12 inches and of quite solid material and heavy, maybe 8 lbs....  

Now that I've seen the both of them...

 
 By: nwp627 : July 16th, 2009-10:26
...I want one as well. N

Amazing, Criollo!

 
 By: anaesdoc : July 16th, 2009-12:10
So there must be a "reduced" or "midsize" version available somewhere. Is it mechanical ? Maybe Goh and Stefan should contact you for further advice. Best, anaesdoc

with mice running on a round cage where the main spring would normally be. Every morning, before the commuters arrive, a nice lady in a JLC white coat comes and feeds them and cleans out the mess that inevitably falls to the bottom of the clock.... uh...y...
