r/clocks

I sell plants and someone traded this lamp for one of my plants. It’s so unique and I can’t seem to find another one like it online. Does anyone know what it’s worth or info about lanshire clock-lamps ?? Posting from Mississippi, USA.

Seeking any information about this Clock also it’s value

My mum had a collection of old clocks. Any idea of value and/best place to sell. In Surrey, Berkshire or South London area

I can’t afford a staking set so I wanna design one and a friend will CNC it for free. Let me know if it’s any good. I’m 15 so it’s probably not very good but I’m trying my best 😭 when I get the general design sorted ima try and make lots of different stakes and holes etc. the diamater of the stakes is 10 mm. What sort of tolerances do I need? Thanks for looking.

Was trying to fix a clock. And then I dropped it. And now the hands are doing this. I can't take a video but they're not attached to the mechanism they're just dangling AGHHH

Hi everyone, first timer here! We bought a 400 days clock yesterday took it appart as it was not working and fixed it! Here's the clock in the picture!

Needless to say it was one heck of a job!

I can’t find anything like it anywhere, Google AI doesn’t know either.

The guy I bought from said his dad ran a bank in Los Angeles and this was the bank clock. After the bank shutdown the clock was moved to a hotel in LA? Iono, maybe the dude was full of shit, but it’s pretty cool!

I can’t for the life of me figure out how this thing goes back in to the clock.

Hey all, has anyone dealt with a clock like this? We’ve removed it from the crystal holder, tried twisting, but we can’t get the silver part off to change the battery. Any tips? Thanks!

Edit: I should have added a fourth picture, the clocks side, that you see, silver(grey) with a square cut out (my man says those are the locks?) that's all you'll see if you turn the whole thing around. Plain "brushed" silver looking, with the three square knotches, evenly spaced apart.

I did Gemli app it last week, and it says

"Lead crystal desk clock, Staiger quartz movement, West Germany"

"Staiger was a renowned West German clockmaker established in the Black Forest region, known for producing high-quality timepieces from the 1950s through the 1980s. The company specialized in combining traditional German craftsmanship with modern quartz movements and decorative ī housings. These crystal desk clocks were popular decorative items during the 1960s-1980s, appealing to consumers who valued both functionality and elegant home décor. Vintage Staiger clocks 8 collected today for their craftsmanship, nostalgic appeal, and the quality of West German manufacturing."

But all that, and I'm still puzzled on how to open it?

I need to know how to make this clock stop cycling through modes. It worked perfectly fine and then I had to unplug it for a while and now it’s started switching between time/date/whatever the hell else it displays. It is going in the garbage if I can’t get it set back to just displaying the time. Please help!

it was kind of working but we had to disassemble it- now the minute hands all limp and it wont turn. the clock heart or whatever its called has been attatched, as well as an image of when it was (sorta) working

Can anyone tell me how to get this to work? There is one button on the back that I can find. When you push it, the display comes on. When you hold it, the hour changes. But I can't figure out how to get the minutes to change. And I can't figure out how to make the display stay on, making it kind of useless as a clock. And what's with the "talking clock" name for it? I appreciate any help or ideas you can offer. Thanks.

Picked it up at a charity shop, it has no winding key and one of the hands is loose. No makers mark, it is extremely heavy I think the case is brass. The numbers and motif in the middle are engraved and look worn down a bit with age

Any idea on this clocks maker? Value? My grandfather purchased it in Korea in 1982-83 and I can’t seem to find anything about it

Hey everyone! Sorry if the video is long, but wanted to share my Totoro clock doing its Cuckoo call.
