This clock is a replica of the large clocks found at the Victoria railway station in London.
Recently I found this in the drawing room of five homes I visited. All of them acquired it from on line stores.
I wondered what is so special about its attractiveness to find a prominent place in the drawing rooms.
It is a symbol of accuracy. The original clocks seem to keep time to the second with no adjustment of time needed for months!
It i sa symbol of history. This style of the clock dates back to about hundred years or so and it is still the preferred style of appearance, for clocks in many station in the European railway stations.
It is a also a symbol of the high level of craftsmanship involved in making them. In the initial years they were all handcrafted! It was also associated with the aristocratic culture!
Now, it attracts us because of its unusual appearance and hopefully because of the symbolism it represents!
I feel good for this trend, because of the connection we are ,making with our history!
