gran Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 Saw these "Turmuhren" and wonder what they really are....Sculpture Clocks? or to have in a bell tower?.....quite industrial looking and might be of interest also on this forum http://www.holderman.../turmuhren.html Flämische Turmuhr Gewichte 50 kg, 1994 automatisiert von Markus Holdermann TURM = Tower Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whatever123 Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 Large clocks for buildings with towers, not neccessarily bell towers. Maybe translates to "turret clock?". Cheers Whatever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FxrAndy Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 Correct Olly A turret clock In England there are whole society's dedicated to the restoration and creation of Turret clocks The newest and most modern having been created by smiths of derby and will be installed in Chine if it has not already been fitted. There is also one in creation for somewhere in the Arab world that may still be larger ( think 10 wide dials) the sort of thing that would even shock a fiddy wearer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gran Posted February 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 I was thinking that one could simply use hese as sculptures in a regular room ...that is to use a turret clock out of its natural element Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FxrAndy Posted February 27, 2012 Report Share Posted February 27, 2012 You could Gran, but the ticking may be a little loud, many only have a seconds regulator dial rather then hours and min also as they oftern have more than one drive shaft to the dials.
